Simple GUIDE: *Fully Automated* TV/Movie Following via XBMC. I just updated the flexget config, check the updated guide above. Now it will download movies you added to Trakt Watchlist if a bluray quality version of at least 720p is available (will prefer 1080p) and the size is at least 4GB (might need to change this to 2GB since a lot of older movies are simply not available in high quality, if you check the config, all the way down it says "max 20000 and min 4000" you can change this.

It will check the Trakt movie name with IMDB to gather extra data used to search for the correct torrent. It will only search for bluray, no cam or screener or whatever. If you do want lower quality, you can change this yourself easily. Check Flexget wiki: Make sure you run Flexget manually first time after you change/update your config.yml! Test, dont actually download anything:flexget -c /media/usb/Downloads/flexget/config.yml --test Run: flexget -c /media/usb/Downloads/flexget/config.yml Naming conventions?

Overview and Requirements | Raspberry Pi Wifi-Controlled Cat Laser Toy. In building this project I found network video cameras, such as those used for security and monitoring, work best for streaming video. I attempted to use a webcam that streamed video to sites such as Ustream or Livestream, but found the latency of those streams was extremely high--on the order of 10-15 seconds. With such high latency it is not possible to control the laser through the web in real time. I even tested setting up my own video streaming server with Amazon EC2 CloudFront, but still could not get a low enough latency video stream. In addition to high latency, I also found embedded video streams (such as from video streaming web services) are not easily adapted for the control needs of this project.

PiBorg | Robotics add on boards for use with your Raspberry Pi. Robots. RAPIRO: The Humanoid Robot Kit for your Raspberry Pi by Shota Ishiwatari. RAPIRO: Looks small, acts large, its limitless possibilities all depend on how you program it. * Kits available on kickstarter do not come with a Raspberry Pi, a Camera module, a PSD distance sensor and speakers. RAPIRO comes with a total of 12 servo motors, one for its neck, one in the waist, four for the two feet, and the final six for its two arms. Rapiro can walk with its feet, can grip a pen, and can turn its head and waist. I believe that RAPIRO can be a catalyst between robotics and Paspberry Pi.

We want to start a revolution in cute, cool, affordable, customizable, and programmable robots. The torques of the six servos in the neck, waist and two feet, are 2.5kgf-cm(35ozf-in). RAPIRO's eyes can be lit up brightly by RGB LEDs. The name "RAPIRO" comes from RAspberry PI RObot. As its name suggests, A Raspberry Pi is mounted in the head of RAPIRO. Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer, which runs Linux.

Additionally, you can mount the Raspberry Pi Camera Module in RAPIRO.
