Raspberry Pi 2

[YosemiteSam]

Anyone get one yet?

What are you doing with it?

I have one of the originals, but I haven't used it in quite some time. I just got one of the Raspberry Pi 2. (quad-core and 1GB of ram!) I hoping to construct a radio astronomy project with it.

Currently I've created a Solar Radio Telescope made out of my old DirecTV dish and a satellite finder. Now, I want to connect the output of the scope into the Raspberry Pi and record it / create a visualization out of the sounds coming from the Sun.

Second, I think I want to create a mount that can track the Sun so I don't have to manually point/hold the dish at the Sun.

Don't take a picture of it with the flash on.

It's only Xeon flashes that do that. LED or other types don't effect it. Besides, if you protect it in a case of some sort. Even Xeon flashes won't bother it.

I know. I don't know why anyone would be taking multiple photographs of one in the first place.

I have three. One is on eBay, the other will be a torrent downloader/smb server/mythtv backend. The other will be a Kodi viewer.

I have no idea what this thread is about but I'm interested.

We are talking about a full blown quad-core PC with 1GB of ram that cost $35.

I have an old raspberry pi set up as a network attached storage so that everyone in the family has access to movies and pictures. I'll probably get the new one and set up to do the same and maybe enable web access to it so I can use it as a personal cloud. Then I'll turn the old one into a SNES/Genesis/NES emulator - I've already got that loaded onto an sd card somewhere.
