What did you use to burn the disc? It sounds like it wasn't closed properly at the end of writing. XP should be able to see it, especially if it has no problem reading other DVDs.

Apparently I haven't been running it too well. Been too busy surfing all the junk food web sites. :)

1992 for me.

I voted 0.0.1 although it probably was a version shorty after that that I first used. I remember it was a LOOOONG time before 1.0 came out (years) and it was a huge deal when it finally went 1.0. It only ran on a boot and root floppy disk when I started with it.

There are a million videos on YouTube about it. I actually only hooked a monitor up to it just to see what it looked like but I just use ssh.

Oh, that was just a simple few lines in a shell script using the gpio command. e.g:

Turn a pin on send a 1, turn it off send a 0:

/usr/bin/gpio mode 7 output
/usr/bin/gpio write 7 1

Here's a couple of hours of fiddling right after I got it:

On the power strip that I added the Pi Zero to I just ssh in and set up a cron job to turn the lights on and off every day at the times I want. On an Arduino I would have to write a program and hook a cable up to it and upload the program. I can also control it from a web page, or a phone app. It's ...

I was thinking about some sort of CNC device (like a plotter). I also have an Arduino that I picked up several years ago. It has "some" advantages over a Pi (analog GPIO pins) but overall a Pi is way more powerful.

It looks like I haven't been keeping up with these posts. Of course I've been upgrading to every new release as they come out but there really isn't a reason to continue posting. Usually everything is uneventful. Linux is pretty much mainstream and easy these days. :) I haven't been visiting the for...

I picked up a few Raspberry Pi devices a couple of weeks ago and have been playing around with them. These things are friggin' awesome! I ordered all kinds of gadgets to hook up to them and play around. I have 2 of the Zero Ws and 1 3 B+. I modified a power strip with a relay and a Pi Zero and can c...

Congrats Calum! Wow, been a long time since I've been on here. :) Not only did we have that race team but my son won his class for the season and I came in 2nd in my class in the championship this past race season: Here's a picture of me and my son (my son is in front and I'm behind him): http://kna...

Just part of it. :) The other part is hosted on my phone. :)

Been busy lately. My son and I are planning on doing a race clinic this Saturday and getting our race licenses. I am planning a father/son race team for next year. Here are a few pictures of us from a recent weekend at the track: Me: http://voidmain.is-a-geek.net/i/track/green.jpg http://voidmain.is...

Damn, I forgot this place existed. :)
