Title: Fun with Rasberry Pi
Post by: JollyRoger on January 15, 2013, 11:13:12 PM

So I recently bought a few Rasberry Pis rev. B. These are 700Mhz ARMs SoCs with 512Mb RAM.  They have 2 USB, HDMI out, Composite Video out, 1.8mm audio out, 10/100 Network Interface, and a GPIO header.  These little guys are cool. 

I have one with RISC OS, one has openELEC, and one with Raspbeian.
openELEC is a XMBC media center. Raspbian is a lightweight linux for RasPi.   RISC OS is...well it's RISC OS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC_OS).  I'm currenly waiting for a release of Android 4 for RasPi to make that do something.  I have a couple of ideas to integrate RasPi with my car, and a Quad rotor.

I have two more.   One is being a web server  and is hosting what will soon be a room mate intranet type thing.  The other is going to be apart of some kind of automation scheme... the first three and still sitting there doing the same thing the were doing before.  I hope to get something going soon.

The webserver pi fits inside an old Linksys wrt54g case with the routers board in there too.  I have them power together and running.
