New Raspberry Pi

- pretty much same spec save for 15% faster processor?prophetone
- ^^ upgraded network connections (wired and wifi) too. Wish the ram would have got a boost though. Especially for video buffering.section_014

Georges, are you aware of this?

Processing + raspberry pi + 4k monitors = awesomeness,
Still need to design the framing and redo the cabling but for now it's running :)- a raspberry pi can output 8192 × 2160 pixels. impressive.uan
- nah, it can't actually, but it can do 4k as long as it's not HD video, I'm using two raspberries in parallel ;)GeorgesII
- love to know how you did this. Its very impressivemugwart
- sweetDillinger
- yeah we use pi's for video wall installs - we've done a x16 screen wall with a pi per wallvivid
- only 1920x1080 per screen thoughvivid

I've done so many RPI projects last year
• media center
• smart mirror
• NAS
• home automation
• dragon dildo
• cloud server
• mqtt serverlatest projects:
• blynk personal serveryet, I don't think we've even reached what could be done with these little beast,
for those interrested in getting one, just get the model 3, the speed from Model 2 is good but once you go 3 you never go back

They've literally just announced a new one, adding wireless connectivity to the cheaper Pi Zero, so now's a good time - you can get him two! :) https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog…

I'm gonna get one of these and a BeagleBone Black.
I've got a few ideas for the BeagleBone: eurorack sequencer (did an arduino one, have bigger ideas for this), synthesizer, or a granular sampler / looper / thingy. JUCE C++ audio framework compiles on these, and it has a nice I2C DAC shield.
Gonna make a touch screen tasklist thing for my girlfriend. Kinda want to integrate a music player and bluetooth speakers as well.
Really wanna get more into the IOT realm. Just need to narrow down the projects.

- Remember when the sale of PS2s to Iran etc was embargoed because they were worried they'd be used for missile guidance? Tech's matured 15 years since..detritus
- ..er.. 16/17 years since :)detritus
- Cool, can you play Super Mario World on it?face_melter
- Yeah, just don't lose.detritus

for those curious to dive into it, that is my advice just dive into it , the tutorials and documentation is great to be up in less than 10 mins
you can even buy a pre-loaded SD card so you dont have to download anything . People have been booting various types of OS but Raspian (linux) seems to be the most friendly. It is a nice full windows OS with a browser and even office type apps ,
the fun part is making it do something for you beyond a normal computer , most common things
-media center (plug in a USB HD and let it manage your videos a la windows media center ) this is built in so no programming needed to set this up
- web server , I installed a LAMP stack and can host a site on it
- popular one is make an arcade cabinet and run ROMs on it
- there is a Camera module so you can do a low cost security system
- with Twitter API , Python and Twython you can build a twitter bot follow mine here ->
all kinds of things you can think of , the graphics card is comparable to a PS2 so you can build your own Arcade out of it if you wanted with a UNITY 3D build

- I am running PYTHON programs to access the CAM PI module, so far seen Tkinter to build a GUI but seems dated, any other GUI SDKs?BattleAxe
- Pretty cool, what's it like to develop on?mugwart
- Are they Lego nipples?detritus
- can you link? I've had a pi in my desk for over a year this might just be what I need to get a project moving!digitdaily
- I wish I knew how to do shit like this. Looks fun as hell ToTsarahfailin

dam i had to dust this thread off? anyone doing homebrews or anything practical that you are willing to share?
I am trying to make a small photo booth , I have seen a few variations out of the PI.
I have a PI 3 , it was about $40 with shipping to TEXAS (yes we are big) . Comes with a micro usb ac adapter for power and that is all .
it has 4 usb ports and 1 hdmi , so off the bat i plug into any monitor and use any standard usb key board and mouse
what does it boot? NOTHING , you have to download an OS into a MICRO SD card . Once you pop that sucker into the PI and plug in power it BOOTS UP
I love this thing

I received my 'nearly ready' email telling me I'll be able to place my order within the next few weeks the other day.
After getting burgled recently and having my media center PC nicked with all my backups, I intend on just sellotaping this to the back of a nice new tv for my new place and loading it with XBMC, playing off my NAS which will be in a nice hidden place in the new house.
