Which rusty transistor thought that six bloody am was a sensible time to
do anything?

If I wake up and find anything other than an order form, I may have to
send them a broken diode.

Theoretically, preorders are now available through farnell and RS…
but both farnell and RS have fallen over screaming.

I’m going back to bed.

Snap.

RS have screwed up according to the twitter feed.

Both sites are melting right now.

I’m not surprised…I’m actually quite glad I didn’t bother! I can’t
believe they have managed to get the Rasberry PI so popular!

I’ll get one once the fever dies down…good thing I don’t need to
order anything from RS or Farnell for work today!!

Which is really annoying, as I wanted something that isn’t a silly

Looks like they are both back now. Seemingly all 10k that were
available have sold out already.

I think they are a nice board but I’m not really sure what I’d use one
for - they lack the power to run really ‘interesting’ software and they
lack the connectivity of an Arduino.

According to this month’s Linux Format, there’s an expansion board
(offhand, I think, called a Gumboboard) for these which will give the
Pi the expansion features and general functionality of an Arduino…

I’m planning on using one for the project a sketch, plug the two

What software is currently used to drive the projector?

Alan Burlison

I like the plan of using it for the project a sketch…Good
plan…Correct me if I’m wrong but the way the project a sketch works
is to read the position of the encoders and draw lines on the screen
using processing and to clear to the display if the accelerometer is
actuated…thats it! By using the R’ PI you can program the display
section more cleverly preventing people from sending the cursor off
screen never to be seen again…and have it store pictures etc.
