Hi! The Raspberry Pi package arrived today, its been assembled and that's as far as I think I can go for now without sighted assistance.
The package contained a number of items including the Raspberry Pi itself, a nice plastic case, a 16GB HC SD card with all the software for the Pi, a HDMI cable for connection to a TV or surround-sound receiver, a power supply, a USB remote controller and mouse and a USB Wi-Fi dongle. Assembling the Raspberry Pie into its case was easy enough, the board pretty much clips into the case and all the ports are visible though it did take me a little while to work out how the SD Card was inserted, it goes into the Pi upside down. The Raspberry Pi board has several connections, 2 USB ports, a HDMI port, audio out/headphones port and a composet video out port as well as the SD card connector and a micro USB input for the power supply. You can use a conventional USB keyboard instead of the supplied remote control/mouse if you would rather but I haven't gone down that road yet as I'm hoping to be able to control the whole thing from the XBMC Remote Controller App for IOS. If a USB keyboard isn't your thing and freedom means a lot to you then you can use a wireless keyboard instead. So I'm at a dead end right now <smile> and will write more on this project when I'm able to get someone to read my monitor to see what the Pi requires, I reckon it will probably want details of various servers it can use for TV shows, Movies and so on. ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
