what do you plan to do with it?probably could help since i used to do robotic related stuff (competition)

I don't have any plan. But interest in robotic control and automation.

Want to learn something to control. But which 1 to start off. I don't want learn halfway than stuck without any help. Than throw 1 corner. I don't want learn halfway, than change to another controller when it can do anything further.

I got to buy all the kids. With 4.3rate, not cheap to get.

if you need to control motors,i guess you would probably need an arduino instead of raspberry pi..i don't think raspberry pi have dedicated PWM port, which is essential to control speed (although software PWM is possible)

Thanks. You clear my mind now. I have bunch of motor to controls and play around.

I guess I choose the arduino to learn. Now where can I find a arduino sifu to help.

i just got my pi today.

bought a heatsink together but what do i use to stick it on?

does it have any thermal adhesive tape on it like those old school stick on heatsink on motherboard chipset?

but on a side note, i'm not sure if heatsink is required for rpi, i've read somewhere mentioning that the rpi could withstand quite a decent degree of heat.

did some search and got that too. now running without the heat sink

I tried to install kodi with the command: sudo apt-get kodi

If u wanna use Kodi, its better to use the raspberry pi image that comes with Kodi build in. Try to search for openelec. I am using it as my TV video player.

thanks! downloading it.

but where is the manual on how to install it? cant seem to find it on the site

I found it. here are the links in case anyone needs it

download -> http://openelec.tv/get-openelec

guide -> http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/HOW-TO:I...Key#tab=Windows

Yes, it should be quite straight forward, it run only Kodi when boot up and you can start to play music and movie from your harddisk, can even support youtube plugin. But I think the youtube plugin is not very user friendly.

any idea how to set the time?

mine keep on showing wrong time

mine just auto-adjust when connected to network

rasp pi dont have build in Real Time Clock module.
kodi must connect to internet. it will sync the clock with the time server.
