FYI I have one of those RPi's ;p (was going to paste my awesome uptime, then just realize it was rebooted two days ago... shows how much attention I pay..) Thanks for the good service and the info! Cheers!

I hang out in #linux-sunxi on Freenode and my discussions with the guys there lead me to believe it would not cause any issues to power it from the GPIO. In fact, for many boards it is suggested because the MicroUSB is only rated for 1.8A, so you will get better cleaner power draw by using a DC...

Yeah, but here is the thing, depending on the quality of your USB cable and adapter you can run into issues where the cables (especially cheap ones) don't keep correct voltage.  This will usually happen when the RPi is under load and the cord begins to get hot from using high voltage and this...

It is available right now... and I meant as an alternative to ARM boards which have been discussed here at length in several threads.. You will be waiting a bit for the Udoo, though it will obviously be more powerful. Cheers!

Another Intel alternative that is already available and costs only $129.00 is the Gizmo 2 or their direct site here. Features AMD G-Series SOC with AMD Radeon HD 8210E discrete-class graphics 1GB DDR3-1600 SDRAM HDMI Video/Audio Output 85 GFLOPS performance HD Audio In/Out...

If it isn't real that would be super depressing :(  But re-reading your probably right. <insert Rick Astley youtube video here> (facepalm) One can dream... LOL Cheers!

Figured there might be a few of you who would get a kick  out of this: "What you see above is our first prototype of A20-SOM-NANO with only 30×15 mm this is the smallest A20 System On Module running Linux, Windows, Android and DR-DOS 3.3! It’s based on the newly released A20M processor...

For more than 1 camera you will at least need an Odroid C2, Zoneminder running 2 cameras one rtsp and the other mjpeg causes 50% load on the c2 and uses about 1GB of ram.  I attempted this on the RPi3 and it couldn't even handle it, ran with a load of 5 and was in constant IO wait because it...

@bizzardYou mean Usermin?  Cheers!

Was looking around and found two board which I thought may be interesting for this thread:  LeMaker Cello($299.00 & still need to purchase DDR3 Ram)  and the NVIDIA JETSON TK1 ($192.99 w 2GB Ram) LeMaker Cello SoC AMD Opteron A1100 Series CPU...

LOL, my Favorite is that EdgeVM still advertises they have 3 locations, however, more than 6 months ago they discontinued selling servers in NY and shut everything down.  For some reason they refuse to update their web page or their WHT sales pitch to reflect this and continue to advertise it...

Okay, so I must admit, I finally figured out my Wifi issue, and I am somehow happy to say it was my fault.  I have two access points I use here, one for my security stuff (wifi cameras) and one for the house (anyone in the house) and I had placed this on the security network.  Unfortunately this...

Has anyone else played with the new RPi3 and seen any different results as far as the range and power of the wifi?  I am gonna test a few more things, I don't want to give up yet!  There must be some tweak I am missing, I feel like I am just too close to have it be attenuated as much as it...

Hmm... Unfortunately the more I play with my RPi3 the more I like the Odroid C2.  The wifi on the Pi is a nice addition, but the antenna is so week I can't get more than ~200-300kb/sec while only about 10ft away through the ceiling.  Adding something to better concentrate the signal gives it a...

@HalfEatenPie It is for sure a bit snappier, especially in boot time.  However, one of my goals was to be able to run Android on it to use as a 'SmartTV' type of device for my parents now that Wifi and Bluetooth are available it would perfect for such a thing.  However, some how I spaced on...

So my Raspberry Pi 3 came today!! @HalfEatenPie@drmike@willie@wlanboy You can see some other pictures here. Somehow I forgot the RPi3 is about the same size, Odroid C2 seems a tad smaller but not by much.  Will need to put them side by side and post a pic later. First...

I want something permanent so I don't have to worry about that in the truck and having to stop the audio every time I get out of the car etc, little Pi can handle all the fun I figure. On a more exciting note FedEx was feeling nice and my RPi3 should be here this afternoon instead of...

Unless you need to lower power for cost or build reasons (nominally), just buy a good 5v2A adapter and then spend the extra 10$ and get a 2.5" 1TB 5400 RPM drive or a 2.5" 500GB 5400 RPM for about the same price and a cheap enclosure.   The biggest gain here for the RPi is the fact you don't...

One of my ideas that is in the "Someday I would love to find the time to do this" pile is using a board with small touchscreen to mount in my truck and use for bluetooth autdio output from android and simple video playback, as well as possibly GPS (there are cheap USB GPS module you can get that...

I have not yet messed with the UART port, while I have an USB UART adapter it does weird things on my main dev machine which is sadly Windows where when I remove the adapter from the machine it causes a fun BSOD and the machine shits its self.  Been meaning to pull out my other laptop to use to...
