when you create a bootable RPi OS (or raspbmc/openelec) it won't be windows-readable. and even if it does, only around 100MB is readable (the part that makes it bootable).

what power supply do you use?

window doesn't even detect my card,thats the problem,haha! using an ipad charger,2.1A,plenty of power since i'm running headless,no keyboard mouse or anything drawing power from the pi

What OS have you got installed in your SD card?
And how did you install it?

just ordered a RPI, clear case with card reader.

i glance through most of the replies, many recommended playing as media center when connected to NAS. can it play through the network shared folder?

im a bio grad, i guess this is as far as i can use the pi. lol

yes it can. when i am home, i have the Rpi(running raspbmc) connected to my family's shared folders on their laptops and pc all via wireless network, everything works fine so far.

Just checked thundermatch online store, no Rasp of whateva flava.

More use of RPi, being telco provider anyone?

Surely this is illegal in MY as the spectrum is MCMC controlled.

raspbian..using win32diskimager

erm, not exactly. ipad/iphone charger only provides an effective of 4.6v or around that if I'm not mistaken. NOT 5v. check the t1 t2 terminal and see

hmm,just tested,very true indeed,its at 4.7v constant

just got my rpi recently, didnt really got time to test it.
but that 7port hub is working fine with the rpi.
still need to test more/abuse kau kau to see if it is reliable or not


i got a question...usually u all use the rpi for media center/nas?

yeap,using it as a nas currently..planing to utilize the gpio pins soon

so u r connecting your ext hdd to rpi, then share the drive with the whole family, correct?
so far so good?

how about BT, will rpi be able to handle BT without any issue?

nope,not using ext hdd,don't have enough funding for one *poor* using the sd card as the hd,currently holding all my music collection..BT?bluetooth or bittorrent?

yup. BT as in bit torrent (assuming we use it for legitimate download )

hmm...so how do u transfer the files in to the SD? u r using a linux/unix/mac machine, correct?

Added on December 27, 2012, 9:19 amcurious, what do u all make use for the GPIO pin? connect to arduino? connect to various sensor?

learn more here about GPIO

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/freshers/raspberry...ature/#step-one

Whoa Cambridge syllabus. I browse through and it's quite fun.

wow.. thanks for sharing...

i m thinking of modifying it to become a simple RC car.
not sure how hard is it...

where u all usually get ur shield?
cytron? myduino? or other place?

i was thinking of displaying the ip address via an lcd screen for my pi, since i'm using dhcp at home. naturally, i needed breakout kit. but this thing is taking 6-8 wks according to element14 guy.

http://my.element14.com/adafruit-industrie...erry/dp/2215039

anyone know of such alternative?

Get this one

http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/160928397853?ss...984.m1439.l2649

I bought it from this guy, very awesome guy. when mine arrived one of the buttons had broken, and he was quite upset and sent me a bunch of other stuff (together with the button). at the backside it fits the RPi perfectly to the GPIO port.



even came with some tutorials to set it up.

alternatively, you can get just the lcd by searching for HD44780 on ebay, a standard lcd display.

if you get a breakout kit from ebay/chinaman seller it's faster. although during these festive season and holidays it'll prolly take longer than just 2 weeks.
