Raspberry Pi

[cully]

raspbmc RC5 is out you now have overclocking settings in the xmbc ui
time to buy some heatsinks and have a play

oh dont over volt the processor as it sets a registry in the chip and voids your warranty

[Scott]

Nope, you can now overclock and overvolt without it voiding your warranty

[cully]

wrong!

copyed from the raspbmc FAQ

Fast is the recommended setting and will not cause corruption!

You can choose Advanced Settings if you wish to specify a custom clock — beware that you may void your warranty if you overvolt.

By default, only your CPU is overclocked to 800Mhz, you must specify Fast manually if you wish to do so.

Wish i had a clue on where to start, would love to be able to do something with one of these.

*wanders off to find beginners guides...*

[Scott]

Alex they're easy enough and cheap enough too I'm going to be helping Niall work on his, we'll be sure to take lots of photos for his carPC build and document everything.

[cully]

yes i have chris
to be honest i cant be bothered with all the ssh ftp and coding crap with it just want to plug and play
its alright for you kids brought up on dsps3xboxthings!
xmbc now its updated to v5 has got buggy some of my add ons dont work anymore
will have to trawl for updated versions

[Scott]

SSH takes minutes! After that if you give me log in details I'll even set up FTP and whatnot for you

[cully]

i can do all that
ssh with putty and ftp with flashfxp
its finding the code strings for the os to do stuff like back up and reinstall back up
thats what im finding hard
even fooby couldnt set the uk keyboard from US remotely cause of a version bug

dont expect great things from the RPI without a lot of hard work and head scratching

[stevieg]

WOW dums getting into proper computer shiz now, didn't think i would see the day

You say this, but - as far as i can tell, anyway - the last few posts have been made in a different language. Sod it, adding myself to the list anyway lol.

Ive had a plan and for the sake of £20 its worth trying it rather than pondering and asking

My thoughts exactly, most of this thread is gibberish but meh its twenty quid

[Scott]

Lol how long between Chris buying an RPi and turning up at my house with it asking why he can't watch porn on it?

[cully]

but you can!

did i say that out loud! ooops

[Dum-Dum]

Lol how long between Chris buying an RPi and turning up at my house with it asking why he can't watch porn on it?

But i can watch porn on my phone, no this idea is far cleverer.

Light weight controlling device?

[kentiiboii]

Porn while driving doesn't work chris!

[Dum-Dum]

Light weight controlling device?

Aww f*ck it I might as well say cos i actually dont care if this idea gets copied cos ill probably be grateful of the help.


Why not use it as an ECU?
Its got good enough processing power (i think) and a 26 wire output. Well a micro/megasquirt ECU only uses a 35/37 wires and alot of them are unused and some are just power wires to the ECU itself which the RPi already has so theres probably enough wires to read sensors and control injectors and ignition.

Ive even got the megasquirt software here.

Go on then, as they're so cheap.
