Raspberry Pi

Any easy way to get audio in yet?
I'm still interested in knocking up a real-time audio visualizer but I dont want to spend too much effort.*
*despite the fact I think a realtime visualiser you can plug in any modern tv would actually sale pretty well.

what about this gertboard, may not be an audio input strictly but looks like it has analogue in

these cheap audio sensing light kits velleman do must be pretty simple, just detecting peaks in the voltage - so you could make something that reacts to peaks - to rhythm in other words

A cheap USB soundcard would do the trick, as far as I know. You might need some help setting it up though.

speaking of which, i got this from ebay/china today...



only has audio output, but thats all i needed, and nice and small to fit in with the pi.

im using it as a streaming device to play audio to a PA system in a different room, whilst i'm DJing upstairs using virtualDJ's internet radio broadcast features over a homeplug LAN...

My Raspberry Pi project done and dusted. A faulty 1982 Grandstand Scramble machine running mame.

Cooool!



How's the USB situation going with the Raspberry Pi? Last I heard it still wasn't resolved, but the foundation admins locked the "elephant in the room" thread anyway.

Does anybody know? Anybody still following Pi development...?

USB is getting a lot better. The elephant thread was replaced by this one :

Some recent fixes have stabilised a lot of web cams and there is work being done on a more complete fix.

One of mine is now running as a garden motion capture cam and the other gets iplayer episodes for my sons.

The foundation camer board is due this month

Many thanks, Colonius! I'm starting to read the thread now.

Sound like it's at least worth getting an updated Raspian image and trying my pile of USB peripherals again, anyway.

[everklear]

Just got my first Raspberry Pi (well, two of them, but one is for a co-worker). Hooked it up to USB keyboard and mouse and downloaded/installed the NOOBS image on an 8GB SD card. Everything seems to be working fine. No simple way to get network at the TV set until I either get a USB wifi dongle or another powerline ethernet adapter.

Now what?

Get my kids started on programming? Maybe.

I think I'm going to try raspbmc next.

I bought an Atrix lapdock to use as part of a Raspberry Pi project (to make a Pi Laptop) and whilst others have succeeded in this endeavour I realise as both the dock and Pi are still in their packaging that I'm never going to get around to it!

So if someone wants a cheap lapdock to play with then PM me to discuss...

My latest Pi mucking about was getting Match Point on the speccy (emulation) working with Nintendo Wii controls. The telly is a bit flickery in the video but it is Match Point, honest!

Got a new TV this morning, set it up and then plugged in the Pi, hoping to use it as a media player. It no longer appears to work. Dadgummit. I only used it about 3 times and had it sitting (disconnected) under the other TV these last several months. Red light on the Pi and that's it.

I need to find a composite RCA video cable somewhere and see if there's any output showing that way.

That's fabby, that is. Retro enthusiast makes a Wii Sports retort.

Sounds like a dead / badly formatted SD card.
