Today was a very exciting day in the SquirrelHosting office. Not only did the postman turn up early but in his bag was a treat. A small, little soldered board of love, that's right our Raspberry Pi had arrived! The version we had ordered had come with the 4GB SD card with Arch Linux installed. Want to buy an SD card with Openelec already installed?

Raspberry PiPod | Experiences with the Raspberry Pi micro computer Xian has done a great job on this LEGO rover. It utilises Lego Power Functions and the Raspberry Pi and can be controlled via a web browser. He explains his build, with block diagrams and details on wiring and explains his use of the Navio board for controlling things. Nice job, Xian. Read about it here.

How to Clone Raspberry Pi SD Cards Using the Command Line in OS X - Tuts+ Computer Skills Article The Raspberry Pi runs from an operating system stored on a Secure Digital (SD) card and many different operating systems may be employed. Storage is relatively inexpensive, can be created (flashed), recreated, written to and overwritten with ease. On the one hand, this is an advantage of the Pi. On the other, the experimental nature of the Pi means more time flashing SD cards. This tutorial shows you how to use a Mac to clone any Raspberry Pi SD card which is particularly useful when you have your OS set up just as you want it. The Raspberry Pi is somewhat different to the computing, to which most of us have been accustomed, of the last two decades. With almost two and a half million units sold–in little over a year since its launch–and with its focus on getting kids (adults?) Being able to experiment, play and break things is all part of the fun. Cloning is the process of making an exact copy. Open Terminal and enter the following command to locate your SD Card:

pas d'apt-get pour custom Media sources Media Sources are virtual links to the content you wish XBMC to use. When you enter any of the Videos, Music, Pictures or the Filemanager, you will see an entry for "Add Sources". When you first start with XBMC you should at least add one source, like a drive or directory on your XBMC device to get you started. If you select "Add sources" a dialog appears, where you may manually input a path, or browse to a source that contains media that you would like XBMC to use and display. As an example, if you enter the Music section, you could tell XBMC where it should look for your music. This can be as simple as selecting a folder on your computer or you can also choose to browse your home network for media. 1 Adding media sources You can select as many sources you like if you have content in different places. 1.1 Root file selection By default every root section includes a Add Sources button that you can click to start adding sources. 2 Add source window 3 Network file sharing See: File sharing

The Raspberry Pi Guy On the 29th of February 2012 a credit card sized computer was released to the public... Not only did it kickstart my interests in programming, electronics and all things geeky but it also kindled the same passion in millions of others: affecting people of all different ages and abilities around the globe. What was this miraculous device? The Raspberry Pi. An affordable computer that anyone can buy and learn computing with. The Pi enables you to do projects that you could only dream about and for only £25 it is remoulding education. The Raspberry Pi will turn two years old in the upcoming months - that is two whole years of inspiration, projects and learning. All of the videos clips and images in this video are either my own or those that I found on YouTube and through Google images - it is all in the public eye already and I am dreadfully sorry if I have missed out something that you would have liked to have seen. Here's to all of the years to come! MattThe Raspberry Pi Guy

debian - How do I backup my Raspberry Pi? If you want to preserve all of the data, you will probably have to create a disk image. Furthermore, Windows cannot recognize typical Linux filesystems, so you probably won't even be able to see your files, when you plug in your SD card. Creating a disk image will preserve not only files but also the filesystem structure and when you decide to flash your new SD card, you will be able to just plug it in and it will work. On Linux, you can use the standard dd tool: dd if=/dev/sdx of=/path/to/image bs=1M Where /dev/sdx is your SD card. On Mac, you can also use the standard dd tool with a slightly different syntax: dd if=/dev/rdiskx of=/path/to/image bs=1m Where /dev/rdiskx is your SD card. (using rdisk is preferable as its the raw device - quicker) To find out which disk your device is type diskutil list at a command prompt - also, you may need to be root; to do this type sudo -s and enter your password when prompted.

/storage sur clef usb pour os smoother ? XBMC Eden & Debian Wheezy Il y a deux ans, je me suis monté un HTPC pour y faire tourner XBMC. À l’époque, j’étais parti sur une installation minimale de Ubuntu Lucid pour y installer les paquets officiels de l’équipe XBMC. Depuis, la version Eden a été publiée and XBMC a fait son apparition dans Debian unstable. C’était donc une excellente occasion de faire le saut. XBMC Media Center: Eden. Logo par FiroPyro. En bref : L’installation de XBMC sur une Debian Wheezy est extrêmement simple. Ma configuration matérielle est la suivante : un boîtier Antec Micro Fusion 350 comprenant un combiné récepteur infra-rouge/afficheur LCD SoundGraph iMON1,une carte mère Zotac ION-ITX-D-E incluant un processeur Intel Atom 330 et une puce nVidia ION,un amplificateur home cinéma Onkyo connecté via HDMI,une télécommande Logitech Harmony 555. Installer Debian Wheezy L’installation d’une Debian Wheezy2 ne présente aucune difficulté. $ sudo dd if=debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso \> of=/dev/disk/by-id/usb...

XBMC présentation et configuration du média center Un media center est un système matériel (ordinateur PC ou Mac, console Xbox, téléphone IOS et ANDROID …) et un logiciel fournissant un certain nombre de services multimédia. XBMC vous l’aurez compris est donc la partie logiciel de cette architecture, et pour les défenseurs et détracteurs de WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER ne mélangez pas les chiffons et les serviettes. ^^ XBMC Media Center peut être utilisé pour lire la plupart des formats audio et vidéo directement depuis un support (CD/DVD/HDD), mais il peut également lire à travers un réseau local ou directement depuis internet. XBMC dispose d’un gestionnaire de bibliothèque très performant qui permet de synchroniser vos fichiers avec des banques de données internet. Il dispose des fonctions Playlists, diaporama, prévisualisation Météo et plusieurs visualisations audio. Accessoirement il dispose egalement d’une application remote vous permettant de le télécommander grâce à votre GSM favori. L’interface du média center: Le scraper quesako ?

Batteries.. for the last time *Rechargeable AA batteries can provide 1.5V each when fully charged, may drain to 1.2V. Also can give an amperage of 400-1200 MA (less the better - heating) Wrong - rechargeable batteries in AA form of NiCd or NiMH type only provide 1.2v when fully changed - ... de_battery *You can use a UBEC converter to keep the amperage the same while converting a high voltage input to exactly 5V (only 5V UBEC's, d'oh) A buck converted would be a wise choice when powering the Pi with batteries since the voltage output must remain constant as possible while they discharge.There are step-up and step down buck converters however since your LCD requires 12v then I would recommend a step-down buck converter for the Pi. I have a clear idea of how can I connect batteries. Ideally I would have the LCD and Pi running off separate power sources but since you're strappedfor space I guess you don't have much choice.

[Tutoriel] Upnp. Utilisation avec une Freebox L'UPNP, Universal Plug And Play existe depuis longtemps sur Xbmc. Toutefois, il n'est pas aussi complet qu'on pourrait l'espérer, le développement est encore quelque peu embryonnaire et nombres de fonctions ou de possiblités ne sont pas présentes. Qu'est ce que Xbmc ? Xbmc est un Media Center. C'est à dire un logiciel de gestion et de lecture de vos fichiers Multimédias. Free apporte régulièrement quelques fonctions de gestion multimédia à la Freebox-HD. Ca c'est ce qu'on obtient si on branche un Pc, une xbox, un AppleTv ou un autre type d'ordinateur Apple avec Xbmc sur un téléviseur. [Tutoriel] Upnp. Donc en ce qui concerne le serveur Upnp de Xbmc, les formats exportés sont peu nombreux, de même que les sous titres (.srt ) ne sont pas de la partie.Une certaine presse spécialisée a présenté Xbmc comme LA solution à suivre. Merci à SD pour les informations et le comparatif de l'Upnp avec Xbmc et un autre logiciel plus spécialisé: Xbmc: Ushare : Ce sujet reste ouvert à vos questions.
