Shame there's still no WOL support or power switch.
Still, now that it's been around for a while RaspBMC is very stable and it's the cheapest, most-functional media center I can think of!
I used a pi and LEDs to pimp my training board
Are you driving the LEDs off a cape and external PSU?
Have you thought about making a 'random' route maker using a search algorithm?
I've read the links and am very confused by all this... I've a 9yo nephew for who this could be a really good idea - but it's really not clear what's a good idea to start with... :-/ Anyone able to help?
Thanks . QuoteAre you driving the LEDs off a cape and external PSU?No, I'm just driving the LEDs (WS2801 string) through the Pi's power pin. I did think I would need to use an external power supply for the LEDs but I did a test and was able to drive all 138 LEDs just using Pi's power and as I normally only drive >10 for a route I'll just stick with this. QuoteHave you thought about making a 'random' route maker using a search algorithm?That would be cool. Something like this did cross my mind but it's a bit of a step above my level at the moment. I'm planning to put the code on github and blog the set-up process so if you fancy collaborating just let me know
That looks great! Are you driving the LEDs off a cape and external PSU? Have you thought about making a 'random' route maker using a search algorithm?
