Adafruit 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver - I2C interface -  PCA9685 ..

need to order from their website if cant get in my.

lol..same with me..was thinking to build something...i saw in thunder match website..but dunnow if they got stock in their shop..looking forward to go lowyat if they carry it..

maybe calling them would help..i lazy to order online..haha...i'd rather go to shop just to get it..the feeling of hunting..  
got a few ideas..but need some other component..but since it's a computer..so many things can be done.

lol..because i saw in element14 website..one of the reseller is thunder match..and i saw in thunder match the b type with clear case is 160..okay lo..

today i go ask.

since i want it badly..dunt really care..haha..

ps: a robot? ..just want to do some controller..to control things..need to buy pwm and servo..but...for starters..i want to code inside it..hehe..

haha..thanks for the magpi..robot maybe later..i just want to code to control things..hook up some sensors..voice activated,home automation..etc..etc..haha..what you're going to do?

yup.last time i consider adruino too..but since its not a computer..theres not much i can do..computer can be a single brain to process info..with help with external sensors..maybe can hook adruino to it..wel..just thinking only..ahah

Added on January 3, 2013, 3:17 pmbt also quite good..just hook up to wifi..and start bt away..hhaaha..from office also can..they just wouldnt know.

yup..same with me..im doing some research now btw..hehe.
lol.hide your device la..they won;t know..just use battery pack..haha..fast connection.

hmm question..tried this raspberry and seems awesome but it could not detect my 2.5 WD pasport hdd...is it because of not enough power? it is 500gb size....

I saw the price at RS is about $42 (RM128) while element14 is RM111.

i am not sure about the others, but vztech 7 port one worked just nice for me.

cheap and good..

I just bought the VZTech 7 port hub. Comes with 1A power adapter.
What is the purpose of the switch on the side?

This one? link

This?

My wife ordered yesterday from element14 but getting an email saying that they are only licensed to sell to companies. Is this true? How should my wife go about this as she  is a full-time housewife?

hey, new here, saw Raspberry Pi can do a lot of things. Feel like buy one and tinker with it and learn some techie knowledge.

just want to ask you guys if you can help me understand the difference
http://my.element14.com/jsp/bespoke/bespok...equestid=249225

whats the difference between the SD card provided?
MEMORY, SDCARD, RASPBERRY PI, 4GB
MEMORY, 4GB, SDHC, ULTRA

both same capacity, just one preinstalled the OS in it but is halved.

Once clarified will order the lot and learn how to tinker about  

Thanks, do let me know what else I need aside from the board, HDMI screen/ cable, ethernet, USB keyboard/ mouse

so just grab the board and the case will do? the rest buy externally then thanks

Will take whichever built a good foundation, any recommended site? got to know some from lifehack < inclusive of java programming
