Order from Element14?

my Raspberry Pi arrived by today... However i am not sure who signed the parcel for me at my office. waiting all of them come back from lunch before i can verify.

Wanna ask, Element14 and RS Online, do you need to fill in the interest form first before able to order?

yes... they have limited production... it is sort of pre-payment order.

P/S: I got my Raspberry Pi already.

Installing OS...

Congratz... Mind to do a review about your hardware, os, installation etc. Who knows might help other that interested.

Using raspbmc and loving it, anyone can recommend a good remote control for it, my old Pinnacle Windows Media remote does not work so well coz the OK key does not select. What a bummer. Please don't ask me to get the small keyboard remote as I am using it now, painful to use when using it as a media center device.

GAH! Saw so many videos and sites playing with RPi. Cannot tahan. Hurry up Element14!

anybody doing a ppstream pi ? =P

still trying to play around with it...

Got 2 units of Pi today, my colleague purchased and let me play 1st =p lucky me. The sound driver doesnt work outta the box, need to spend some time to get sound work, and it's not perfect yet, I think Pi isn't consider as a totally finished product, at least still got some improvement need to be done here and there.
So my code that uses pygame doesn't work as smooth as expected, hope they can patch the unit fast enough and perfect it.

I got mine on 23rd jun. Sized it up, and will be using my old alarm clock that broke, as a case, will have to cut various parts up.

I have yet to boot up, even though I downloaded 2 distro already. Just that my memory card reader doesnt support SDHC... so I bought another online. Hopefully will arrive in 2 more days.

Shit... my order has been postponed by weeks... after months of waiting

damm u RS

was thinking to bulk purchase these, seems like not possible within months.

Ordered for Element 14 & RS Components.

World of difference in terms of packaging

I am still trying to figure out how to set up the rPi to use as a bitorrent client.

Will take some time as I dont know how to even install linux applications. Sudo get ???

I picked up cmds like sudo halt
startx ...

Thats about it. My learning process will be kind of slow.


Woohoo, managed to get vnc working.

did firmware update. hexxeh version.

squeeze debian 6-19-04-2012

transmission gtk
(I failed to get transmission cli/daemon to work... )

btw, is there another bitorrent client which have rss feed automated download to catch those weekly naruto/one piece/hunterXhunter/fairy tail episodes automatically?

currently i am testing a naruto 1080p download. I set mine to download 50kBps as I fear it would burn up.

also, do I have to keep Putty on?

very interesting.. got one board for sale on mudah.. http://www.mudah.my/Raspberry+Pi+Model+B+N...ox-16353307.htm price quite high but no wait time for delivery though

i have a slot at RS for order if anyone is still interested it;ll be non-profit but you'll have to pay me extra RM5 for re-shipping if necessary.
pm me..

my element14 still not arrived.

Haha, figured out how to install transmission. got torrents downloaded and seeded for a cheap 3.5watt power consumption. Anyhow, if you guys were searching I did the ultravnc, putty, to ssh into the rasp pi and control it. Also installed transmision remote gui
Putty with psftp, can transfer the file back to my desktop to view.

I am using 32gb sandisk class 6 mobile ultra microsdhc with sd adapter. So I should be able to seed some files for quite a long time.

When I transfer 1-2gb file to desktop using the get -r folder, the network chip gets pretty hot, so my next thing would be to cut a heatsink up and have it thermal glued to the chip. I prefer things to stay cooler even if it is designed to run high.

How much Raspberry Pi here in Malaysia?

@mintgadget how much is your expenses?
