So, as someone asked back in July:



I know quite a few of you guys have one now. I'm still considering what to do with one, although with the delivery time so high I may as well order one now. I'll have plenty time for thinking.

Has anyone interfaced anything interesting using the GPIO header?
Any running web servers or other network applications?
Anyone enjoying the HD video and digital sound?
Anyone killed theirs already?

How many are now sat in a box gathering dust, after all the initial excitement wore off?

What is the plural of Pi anyway?

My Dad's got one running XBMC and at some point is going to integrate it with our TV Stuffs. I know he said he wanted another one to do something else with, but can't remember what.

Need to ask my friend what he's doing with his.

Mine's running nagios at the moment.

Mine is currently running an MC-Server (lightweight 3rd party Minecraft server) installation, and handling it surprisingly well. I have some other plans for it though, including combining it with a battery pack, 7" LCD panel and a Power Rangers lunch box to create a home-made netbook

Funnily enough, the lunch box is proving hardest to acquire currently

*EDIT* also what with me originating from the CustomPC side of the DUMP, my Pi is overclocked. currently running at 1GHz CPU, 450Mhz RAM, 500MHz core with overvoltage 4 (1.3v). it isnt quite stable in Quake3 yet, but a little more tinkering should get it there

RISC OS is now properly available, so I've been tinkering with that.

Mine's been forgotten in a cupboard.

Used that in my old place of work, not on a Raspberry Pi, though.

Had some problems getting mine to play nice with a wireless dongle, but I've recently bought a new USB hub, so things should be ok; providing my wireless keyboard stops acting up.

I have some real-time applications, and was pondering if this might be a more suitable OS. Not sure where drivers stand for things like the SPI though.

SPI? Not sure what that is.

The beauty is you are very close to bare metal programming. The BASC comes with an assembler, so you could write your own drivers if needed in machine code.

Decent explanation here: https://projects.drogon.net/understandi ... pberry-pi/

I want to interface temperature censors, A/D and D/A high-speed converters and LCD modules - without bit-banging in assembly if I can avoid it!

Is it much like the BBC basic built-in assembler? I loved that, and was pleased to find Microsoft C had a similar feature when I moved to an 8088 based machine.

Overclock settled at ARM 960MHz, RAM 533MHz, Core 330MHz, at overvolt 3 (1.275v). Any higher and it would trip the overcurrent protection, and I'm not quite willing to wave goodbye to my warranty yet

From what an remember from my RISC User days, BBC Basic assembler on the Archimedes was a development of that in the BBC Micro. I'm afraid I'm not an assembler expert, but what I typed into the BBC Micro was very similar to what I typed into the Archimedes.

The place to ask would be the forums on http://www.riscosopen.org

Just set mine up with XBMC, to see how it fairs as a media box/smart TV extension.

Apparently you can run Elite on RISC OS Pi by running ArcEm - an emulator of an Archimedes running RISC OS 3. So far, the application which lets you run games natively - Aemulor - doesn't work on the RPi.
