Updating an old idea, eh? Gonna put the pix on the Web? http://makeprojects.com/Project/VCR-Cat-Feeder/69/1 ----- Original Message ----- From: Miraglia, Walter To: torontocbm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 2:44 PM Subject: [torontocbm] Re: Raspberry Pi's I have three. Ordered 1 about 2 months ago, and then ordered two more (before my first one arrived) about two weeks ago, and got them after about a week. For now I'm just getting comfortable with Linux and creating SD cards, and fighting with powered USB hubs ( cyberpower, on the list or working ones ) but still gives me grief depending on the time of day. And which ports I plug things in. sometimes work great. other times. meh. The following two wireless devices work great in the two built in usb ports no powered hub required. I have a good wireless usb interface: Netgear N150, wireless keyboard/mouse combo: Genius Slimstar 8000 wireless mouse Projects hoping to do: Internet based treat dispenser that takes pictures and emails me a shot of my dog enjoying the treat. Got a simplified version working on arduino (no pics.) just dispense remotely via UDP app on iphone. May have them send temperature information to me from various points in the house. Messing around in general. May just flash some L.E.D.'s with it. J Walter Miraglia | Director of I.T.

Anyone else have one, and if so what are you doing with them? I'm not a big Linux person, but I hear they're working on Android for it as well... Steve
