I want to autoplay a Powerpoint PPS file on Boot. Help? 1) The Pi is running Raspbian and X is always started on boot. 2) LibreOffice does not support a "loop" from command line, so even though I created a script and made it executable under /etx/X11/Xsession.d, the presentation will run once, then stop and wait for Esc to be pressed. I tried ImpressRunner, but that didn't work either.

You will now be presented with an interface such as this: Your SD card should be shown on the list.

How to Turn a Raspberry Pi into a Low-Power Network Storage Device Mix together one Raspberry Pi and a sprinkle of cheap external hard drives and you have the recipe for an ultra-low-power and always-on network storage device. Read on as we show you how to set up your own Pi-based NAS. Why Do I Want to Do This? Soren's Home Brew Blog: My Raspberry Pi - Game I love old console games... I am not that much into old arcade games, but console games like Mario and Sonic I find amazing. For the same reason it annoys me that I cannot buy old NES or SNES games on my Xbox 360. I understand that they don't want to sell them on the competitors platform, but it still annoys me that I cant play them. This was my motivation behind building my own multiple console system emulator based on a Raspberry Pi. I wanted a platform, with original gamepads, which I could play Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo and Sega Master System II games on.

Controlling DC Motors Using Python With a Raspberry Pi - Tuts+ Computer Skills Tutorial In this tutorial I will show you how to connect some motors to your Raspberry Pi. Doing so will allow your Raspberry Pi to interact in the real world, making it possible to build a robot, turn on a fan on a hot day or even drop a treat for your cat or dog while your away. What we plan to do is safely connect one or two motors to the Raspberry Pi with as few components as possible. Once we have the electronics put together on the breadboard, I will show you how to control them easily using Python to first make the motor spin, and then add some control to change the motor direction so we can go backwards.
