Raspberry Pi

[Yorus]

The power supply is ruled out, as I have done the tests with only the power supply and the network cable connected and I have tried to let it start up even without the network cable and connect it later. As a power supply I have used the mobile charger of 1 Ampere which was what I had used until now, the USB hub with a 2A power supply and the USB 3.0 port of the laptop.

I think the issue is going to be about the data corruption option. Let's see if I can get an HDMI cable so as not to use my parents' living room TV or if not, wait until Wednesday and be at my beach bar.

From bad to worse, I've gone from having no network services to not detecting eth0 and finally to having problems with the file system. It smells like problems with the SD card, but the ones I have don't appear in the list of http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards as either good or bad. Looking at that list, I see that of the 3 class 2 SDHC cards of 4Gb that appear, two of them give problems. I will try to find something more compatible, because the other one I have is the same but 8Gb and there is no similar one in the list. I'll also go for something class 10.

Did you try out the card with the Raspi or did you have it before? How long have you been using it on the board?

[Yorus]

I had it before, and I used it several times with the GP2X console, but I don't think it reached 10. With the raspberry it hasn't been more than in tests, I haven't had time for almost anything :eoh:

[cobito]

It's strange. I wonder if it has been given too many accesses and has deteriorated, but if she has only used it to test... I have just moved the files from the web server to the hard drive, let's see if it crashes due to excessive read/write cycles.

[Yorus]

I will do the same, leaving only the system on the SD, although I think it can be done so that only the boot is left on the SD and the rest on the external drive.

I put a couple of photos of my raspberry pi, which arrived yesterday ;D

[Yorus]

The little box is cute, you will be posting your progress with the little one soon.

[cobito]

Madre mía, with case and all; what power. I have it tied with three commas to a 2.5 disk :ugly:

[victorpexacos]

I bought everything from ModMyPi. Raspi B + Case + Charger 5,25V@2A = 55e shipping included.

It's cheaper than at Farnell (about 50e -without charger) and it arrived in a week. The case is a free gift when you buy the raspi and you can mix and match the colors as you like. I'm really happy to have bought it from that site.

The charger is this:

For those interested, the 5 mpx camera module for the Pi is already on sale.
Camera board available for sale! | Raspberry Pi 20€ approx.

[cobito]

Well yes, I read a while ago that they were going to release the 5 mpixels camera. The truth is that the image quality is quite regular, but I am very likely to end up buying it for a little project I have in mind.

[Tecnho]

For 119USD they give a complete :troll: this kano looks good.

[cobito]

As a toy it's okay, but for that price there are much more interesting things to use as a PC (though, without so much frills).

In the guide I made some time ago, you can see the performance for everyday tasks and unfortunately, it doesn't measure up to certain basic tasks like browsing the web.

The raspi has a lot of potential as a home server and for graphic applications in electronics projects.

As a desktop "PC", it could be very useful as a dumb terminal as long as they are office tasks.

[Tecnho]

You've seen the fridge of this pi XD

[cobito]

I think it's an exaggeration, but it looks pretty enough.

Puff la raspi, I've had it abandoned for too long. I hope to have a lot of free time in June or July, to see if I can tinker with a few things I have pending.

[Yorus]

I also have it stopped, and I found an SD Sandisk that seems to not corrupt anymore. My intention is to make it operational but only with web, owncloud in a plan with few files (replace my ex-2Gb of Dropbox) and to synchronize Firefox bookmarks, not much more.

[Tecnho]

Have you seen the Chinese clone?
Banana Pi, the Chinese clone of Raspberry Pi much more powerful

[cobito]

My God, it's almost more powerful than my tablet. We'll have to see the price because it's sure to be more expensive than the raspi, even though that SATA port gives it a thousand extra points.

[tilt]

Chinese boards with Allwinner chips are great, their performance is on par with a Pi. I want this one, I think it's a much more interesting form factor than copying the rPi, and it's free hardware (there are schematics and pcbs to download for everything)
