Raspberry Pi - $35 Linux computer

[Vulcan]

So who has ordered the camera module?

I've ordered 2, even though I've seen several adverts that say only 1 per customer.

Edit: They changed the order to only one, but it should arrive tomorrow.

 

[gpuerrilla]

My Pi arrived yesterday

Nice case that!

Anyone know why Samba has suddenly started playing up with the new Raspbmc?

There is space left...

I've even reinstalled the OS, and samba worked once or twice, then upon reboot it stops working.

Can RASP support USB 3TB NTFS HD (one partition)?

 

[squarehead94]

awesome seeing how far these have come for a £30 matchbox PC.

Camera arrived...

Is it self powered?

Can RASP support USB 3TB NTFS HD (one partition)?

Yes, I run a Hitachi 7K3000 (3TB) with mine which is sat inside a USB enclosure.

Does this mean it can act as a NAS?

Does this mean it can act as a NAS?

A NAS with a low-power CPU, 100mbit ethernet and a shared usb/sata bus.

I'm really interested in the rPi but it's definitely not the most suited to NAS duty.

 

[Vulcan]

Yeah it's probably not best suited as a NAS.

Camera arrived...

Cool! however, I think you should mod a case to cover the bare bit of the camera
lookin good though!

 

[Vulcan]

I'm actually using it in my other un-cased Pi right now until I look for a better solution.

The camera software has built in time-lapse, so as soon as I get a long enough ethernet and USB cable I can tape the camera to the window.

Each image using the default settings is 1.8MB, so that's 5.1GB for a 24 hour time-lapse with a picture every 30 seconds.

Raw video is 120MB/min.

Hello, if the firmware for the RPi is updated. Does it stay on the hardware or SD card if the card is swapped?

I'm trying to get the RPi to boot from a 64GB SD card. Would the new firmware need to be on the new card as its stored on the card?
Can I just copy a firmware from a old card to the new one?

The RPi only supports SD and SDHC cards (max 32GB), your 64GB card would be SDXC which is unsupported.

edit: It appears that some SDXC cards will work...

[uniQ]

Could a Pi drive a 2560x1440 monitor OK?

 

[lokkers]

I have mine plugged into a 27" 2560x1440, but over HDMI the max resolution it'll display at is 1920x1080 (obviously).

 

[uniQ]

But it runs OK?

 

[lokkers]

I believe so, although I run mine headless and administer via ssh. The two I have running XBMC over HDMI are fine at 1080p.

I think I may get one, anyone got their Pi running in a server case of some sort with HDDs?
