Reference

Hardware

  • Raspberry Pi (Model B)
    • Newark element14 order page for the Raspberry Pi
      • 2012-Aug-17: NERP attendees who've ordered recently from Newark element14 report the lead time is now week or less
    • MCM Electronics
      • 2012-Aug-17: report on PS1 mailing list that currently in stock
    • Note: Model A not been released yet, only Model B exists
  • Pi Box by Adafruit
    • The clear acrylic case that Drew has shown at meeting
    • Adafruit's open source design is on Thingiverse so it may be possible to make one on our laser cutter.

Software

Linux

Applications

  • Arduino IDE runs and uploads ok USB-connected Arduino with Raspbian "Wheezy"; just install via "apt-get install arduino".
  • WiringPi is a Python library which aims to make electronics interfacing as high-level as Arduino
  • GPIO examples in many languages
  • Quake for the current Raspbian "Wheezy" image
  • "hello world" programs in /opt/vc/src especially the 1080p HD playback demo: /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/
