* The clear case Drew showed was the Pi Box by Adafruit: http://www.adafruit.com/products/859 Their open source design is on Thingiverse so it may be possible to make one on our laser cutter. | * The clear case Drew showed was the Pi Box by Adafruit: http://www.adafruit.com/products/859 Their open source design is on Thingiverse so it may be possible to make one on our laser cutter. | ||

* If you have just gotten a Pi, then I recommend visiting the Raspberry Pi Foundation downloads page for instructions on flashing the SD card: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads | == Software == | ||

* I recommend using Raspbian "Wheezy" for general purpose | |||
* Raspbmc (http://www.raspbmc.com/) for media center. | |||
=== Applications === | |||
* Arduino IDE runs and uploads ok USB-connected Arduino with Raspbian "Wheezy"; just install via "apt-get install arduino". For doing electronics directly on the Pi, WiringPi is a Python library which aims to make it as high-level as Arduino: https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/ If Python isn't appealing, then this eLinux article gives GPIO examples in many languages: http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals | |||
* Quake for the current Raspbian "Wheezy" image can be downloaded here: http://www.memetic.org/quake-3-with-sound-for-the-raspberry-pi/ | |||
* "hello world" programs in /opt/vc/src especially the 1080p HD playback demo: /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/ | |||
** More details in the webinar Eben Upton did: http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-44459/l/video-programming-the-raspberry-pi-with-raspberry-pi-co-founder-eben-upton | |||
== Community == | |||
* if you run into issues, then the RaspberryPi.org Forum is a good resource: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/ If you can't get past a problem, then I'd be happy to help at next NERP meeting (like after the presentations). | |||
* The Raspberry Pi group on element14 Community is quite active too and another place to ask questions: http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi I am a developer on this site and also haven written Pi tutorials which can be found under my profile (http://www.element14.com/community/people/fustini) and our Pi blog (http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi?view=blog). | * The Raspberry Pi group on element14 Community is quite active too and another place to ask questions: http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi I am a developer on this site and also haven written Pi tutorials which can be found under my profile (http://www.element14.com/community/people/fustini) and our Pi blog (http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi?view=blog). | ||
