| + | * The clear case Drew showed was the Pi Box by Adafruit: http://www.adafruit.com/products/859 Their open source design is on Thingiverse so it may be possible to make one on our laser cutter. |
| + | * Newark element14 order page: http://www.newark.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-pcba/raspberry-pi-model-b-board-only/dp/83T1943 |
| + | ** (2012-Aug-17: reports from those attending NERP who've ordered recently is the lead time is now less than a week) |
| + | * If you have just gotten a Pi, then I recommend visiting the Raspberry Pi Foundation downloads page for instructions on flashing the SD card: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads I recommend using Raspbian "Wheezy" for general purpose and Raspbmc (http://www.raspbmc.com/) for media center. If you run into issues, then the RaspberryPi.org Forum is a good resource: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/ If you can't get past a problem, then I'd be happy to help at next NERP meeting (like after the presentations). |
| + | * The Raspberry Pi group on element14 Community is quite active too and another place to ask questions: http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi I am a developer on this site and also haven written Pi tutorials which can be found under my profile (http://www.element14.com/community/people/fustini) and our Pi blog (http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi?view=blog). |
| + | * The eLinux wiki has a great troubleshooting guide: http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting Check out the listing of equipment verified to work (and add your own once tested): http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals |
| + | * Arduino IDE runs and uploads ok USB-connected Arduino with Raspbian "Wheezy"; just install via "apt-get install arduino". For doing electronics directly on the Pi, WiringPi is a Python library which aims to make it as high-level as Arduino: https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/ If Python isn't appealing, then this eLinux article gives GPIO examples in many languages: http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals |
| + | * Quake for the current Raspbian "Wheezy" image can be downloaded here: http://www.memetic.org/quake-3-with-sound-for-the-raspberry-pi/ Other interesting things are the "hello world" programs in /opt/vc/src especially the 1080p HD playback demo: /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/ More details in the webinar Eben Upton did: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-44459/l/video-programming-the-raspberry-pi-with-raspberry-pi-co-founder-eben-upton |
| + | * an informative post on the media playback architecture: |

| + | * This is post would be interesting for those wondering how well it would do as a low-power server: |
