Re: Raspberry pi,
Really can't think of a use for one other tan tinkering. Maybe running some surveillance cameras but I don't have any.

Re: Raspberry pi,
Neat little device. I don't have time for tinkering with electronics anymore. Someone will take one of these and turn it into the next must-have widget.
That Android motherboard looks really nice too.

Re: Raspberry pi,
It's good for a jump host, a small home automation device, etc. etc. I've already got enough devices as it is.
Re: Raspberry pi,
I have a several Pi's. I use RaspBMC as a media center for my daughter with on and I'm playing with a few arduinos with the others trying to work on my programming.

Re: Raspberry pi,
I've looked at them, but I don't have one. What do you want to know?

Re: Raspberry pi,
Not just a mobo, but the whole computer sans OS. But yes, really tiny and low power consumption, which could be handy when in the field or off the grid.SHMIV wrote:So, pi = tiny motherboard, then?

Re: Raspberry pi,
Got a B+ model running Rasplex on my old 16:9 Sony CRT. Video looks great!
I will get more for some other project ideas running around in my head. ☺
