How much you paid and what parts did it include (ie. power unit, case, etc.)?

I plan to do the same in the near future.  How do you want to connect to your storage? External HDD / NAS ?

Hi guys, I want to buy RPi for learning purpose and some coding. Planning to buy a B+ and a case.
Search on the net and found element14.
Element14 has the cheapest price but unfortunately they didn't sell to consumer. Then they redirect me to 2 places, ThunderMatch and Fentix, but the price is quite high compared to other.
Any alternative?

hi guys im new here. just wondering if any1 manage to make a raspberry pi hotspot modem? i m interested to use this with my yes4g dongle... if any1 could help me? much appreciate.. thanks

This might help?

We don't have an outlet, but you can self collect in Bangi. PM to set date and time!

i heard dat if we abruptly turn off pi it will corrupt the sd card? is it true?
anyone here did a DIY safe shutdown or off button for their pi? please guide n share here. thanks very much

Replying from phone, apologies in advance for auto correct.

@Ubitap, awesome advice, still Googling, I found that we can use both the 5Vsb & 5V fit powering pi, but mixed message on the ±12V.  The PSU will be under utilised if only 5Vsb & 5v can be used, have you done any project using this method? On connecting to PI, I am thinking of buying microUSB male connectors & solder the wire onto it & then use that to power pi in order to use internal pi protector.
@orangutan, thanks for the video link, limited capacity mobile data at the moment, will checkout those once I have WiFi.
On collaboration, I am not sure exactly when I am starting this yet, earliest in January once my next work assignment has been confirmed, I may need to move to Miri (rumours), but not confirmed yet.
If I am staying in KL, then sure, any help will be greatly appreciated. I have a couple of electrical engineering friends whom I am planning to entice to help me as well, we'll see.

I am planning to read, learn & put everything on paper first before I start purchasing stuff. Once I can get the mental picture, then will do some sketch and excel costing. I have about RM 1k budget for prototyping. Will see if this is feasible.

Where will it be available locally? Btw here's the link to the power. RPI handles max load of 1.8A, not sure the max for C1 but product listing shows the psu is 2A.

Hmm I'll just wait and see first. My main reason is to build a robust emulator station. At the moment, even with OC, my RPI running PSX games can be quite draggy at times

@Ubitap, may not necessarily reach 100 pi, but I am trying to follow a project I found online (pi3dscan), but not enough details, & I am trying to find alternative to some parts of the design.

Managed to Google a few reasonably priced DC/DC Step Down (Buck) converter . Thanks again for the tips.

BTW, out of topic, what is the code for proper forum username quote ya?

@joytest, noted with thanks on PSU vendors, looked into it, maybe will go with Silverstone Slider Essential, other options seems too costly for my requirements.

hey guys currently i m working on a profject for portable 4g broadband modem out of raspi. currently work in progress... added on shutdown reset buttons... also add a wifi adapter as an access point... planning to 3d print casing for this...[attachmentid=4266203]

Hi guys. Kinda interested in playing around with Raspberry Pi. Any tutorials/101s as to what it can do? Was thinking of making one into a 'home server' so that I can access my items without being at home. 

I got a B+ for christmas this year. Is there anywhere in Low Yat Plaza that has a selection of raspberry pi cases and tools etc? Also, cheapest place to buy a keyboard and wifi usb dongle? I've never had to buy this sort of stuff in KL before.

i was wondering if raspi could work with laptop wifi card since some of them have much higher performance... the ones with mpcie connector. i mean i could solder some wires to usb ports. any1 hav tried this before?

I would suggest against that. Raspberry Pi doesn't have *that amount of* bus bandwidth that normal PC has. Not to mention that you need to write the driver to make it working.
