I got mine from RS. Ordered Saturday today dispatched. Still in stock I guess.

I'm happy to purchase it on anyone's behalf via element 14 if they dont have a cred card or a business address. THanks

Hi all,

I wish to buy Ras Pi to test Java Me Embedded Software. May I know which version of Ras Pi is suitable and where can I buy it?

Thank you in advance

Mine arrived today from RS. Now off to find a monitor I can borrow xD

Get the latest, currently Raspberry Pi 2.

You can buy online from RS or Element14

Installed mine via SSH over the network and running it right now lol. I set it up as a Twitter bot that retweets tweets. Learned some basic Python programming haha. One problem I face is, I've created a simple HTML page, and ran port forwarding on my router, and created a host in No-IP but I can't access it from outside my internet (I tried via mobile). My ISP is Maxis ADSL. Is it because Maxis blocked ports? I used port 80 for forwarding. When trying to access from my internal network, it redirects to my router login page.

I think Maxis assigned private ip and not public ip.

im not sure but I assume its public IP. I already used No-IP.

if i were you, i'd try to

1. disable the router page. (maybe change it to another port,say 8080. or just make it accesible from LAN & not from WAN)
2. port forward 80 to your raspi and check for open port from outside (been using www.ping.eu for ages to check for open ports)

and by the way what's your raspi IP address ? quite strange coz it forwarded you to the router login page
assuming your raspbi ip address is 192.168.0.5, so when you tried to open up http://192.168.0.5, it forwarded you to router login page ?

Nope, my Raspi IP is 192.168.1.A and my router is lets say 192.168.1.B, and when I access 192.168.1.A from inside the network it gives me the Apache it works page. But when I try to access from outside, it will give me connection refused. I've tried forwarding 80, 8080, 8008, or even 591 to 192.168.1.A but still connection refused. I've tried to check using http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and yes all my port forwarding is either connection timed out/connection refused. If I try to open my public IP from inside my network, it will give me the router page (192.168.1.B). I've set the router firewall to Low which allows port forwarding. Still no avail, http://www.canyouseeme.org/ still says my port is not open.

Just get a decent charger that can provide 2A of power supply reliably. Go for those phone chargers where the phone supports 2A(like Note 3 and etc)

Maxis uses private ip so that is not a choice even with No-IP.

does raspi 2 have better usb bandwidth compared to raspi B+? any improvement here? planning to get one for better performance over usb wifi....

then i think you might be behind Maxis NAT.
i do know last time Maxis fibre DID provide their user with internal IP but didnt know they're still practising it till today
you might wanna give them a call and request for public IP.hopefully it's still free.

p/s : another crazy & beautiful idea that you might wanna try, DMZ. set a DMZ rules to your Raspberry PI.

anyone here runs their raspi 24/7? just curious of what cooling solutions that you guys are currently using

Both of my PI run 24/7. One is on Raspbian and another runs OpenElec.passive/air cooling.didnt even bother coz the SOC used are almost the same one that are used on mobile phones.it can stand the heat perfectlly.

I'm using it for vpn server to access at home. basically no cooling required

uptime 37 days. i think i'd been running it for over 3 months. just hung twice if i'm not mistaken

Is it worth to get the RP2 media centre bundle kit from ubitap? Seems like a good deal..

okay. Just curious on what do you guys use. anyway, I used to run it without cooling until recently where I put heatsinks on the processor. And the heatsink is damn hot

anyone here hav idea how to load balancing network raspi as router? i saw youtube some guy did it but no tutorial watsoever... google it too but in vain... btw the guy make his raspi router to connect multiple access point n some how it does improve bandwidth n speed overall... i wonder how he did it... really interesting
