i don't know, why'd you buy it? wtf is wrong with you retards buying the rpi and then getting mad because you don't know what to do with it? did you think as soon as it showed up in the mail you'd have a cool idea for once in your life?

Yep I'd say that's pretty accurate

>>52893618
I mean what were you expecting? It's just a small computer with GPIO pins

Mine's is going to be a controller for an irrigation system for an orchard.

1) Update it since a new driver just came out for OpenGL that massively improves support for the hardware.
Actual decent graphics rendering can be done on it now, better window management and such.

2) look up some electronics ebooks

3), look up some youtube raspberry Pi videos to get excite.

4) just like make something

5) ????

6) Be less profitable.

I've always thought that when I get a RasPi I'll make a jukebox out of it.

Run gogs and a diy nas.

Could it handle being a ssh gateway and vpn?

hey, i just got a raspberry pi B+ and im a bit of a noob on it. i installed Raspbian and OpenELEC through NOOBS and now i wonder
Whats the best emulators for Raspberry Pi ?
I installed DOSBox and pcsxr through the cool package manager
I was planning on installing RetroPie but wasting a whole SD card just for that seems dumb.
Best regards

>>52895899
>>52895899
RetroPie

It's a micro SD card, throw $12 at it for an 8gig, then just swap it out when you want to do something else.

>>52895995
oh okay, i guess ill get some old 4GB SD card or something for it.
but still, fuck retropie, why can i just put it as one of my OS in NOOBS ?

>>52895995
>$12 for an 8 gig

>not posting through raspberry pi wirelessly

>>52896035
You can boot into RetroArch from any linux distro, but it's a bit easier to do it on a separate card. It does take a good hour or so of configuration to get it running nicely, but once you have controllers mapped correctly that should be the extent of the work.

RetroArch has a really nice frontend and some nice little utilities, you do a lot less fucking around in command line once everything is set up. However I would recommend getting a bigger SD card and just filling it to the brim with every damn ROM you can find. Then I can bring my PI to parties and set it up, let my friends go wild on literally any old game ever made.

>>52896044
I'm sure I could get one that cheap if I ordered it, but i'm talking about just running to the local Walmart and grabbing it.

Openvpn turns the rpi into a vpn server, which connects to the internet via the public hotspot. You connect to the rpi via your openvpn client and use that to access the internet. Any DMCA notices will be sent to the host of the wifi.

I usually get involved in some enjoyable projects to keep myself busy, so knowing how to code and having a microprocessor is super useful. So really you just aren't doing anything interesting, which is your fault, not the PI's.

I use my as a portable party game setup, instant emulation for all your classic retro games. Swap out a card and I can run some movies without having to use my laptop. Hell, I might even stick it inside an old GameGear when I get some extra shekles for parts.

sorry

I used my first RPI a little bit as a basic Linux box, installed synergy between it and my windows PC then just used it for torrents and IRC. The SD cards I used (even good quality ones) kept getting corrupt over time, wasn't sure if it's just a piece of shit or the RPI was fucked.

Anyway bought the RPI 2 model B when it came out, literally still brand new in the box on my desk. Dat meme tho.

>>52896763
Damn that's cute. Those screens are expensive though.

>>52893404
B-but how would that even work without port forwarding?
How are you going to connect to it when its behind NAT.
SSH tunnel or something?
Actually yeah, ssh tunnels could work much better than openvpn in this case, no?

>>52896830
More importantly how will it go unnoticed when plugged into a power source?

how do i look for games that run natively on raspberry pi ? i tried installing 0ad (age of empires clone i think) but it doesnt show up on my Raspbian Games menu !! also i tried playing some DOSBOX games but even simple stuff like comander keen or skyroads runs painfully slow. is emulation this shit always or do i need retropie to save more resources and have better emulation performance?

>>52896671
It's not meant meant to be a desktop replacement moron. I swear people like you are are probably the top reason the RPi has such a shit reputation. It's just a really low power (in performance and power draw) small computer you can easily program to communicate using the GPIO pins to whatever you need. Think of something and make it. Not just buy shit when you have no use for it.

>>52897455

Just look up "Raspberry Pi 3.5'' TFT" and any result will probably be the same product. It's really difficult to use because the buttons on the home screen are tiny and the the touch isn't very responsive. I'm going to install android on it soon so hopefully it'll be easier since the UI is designed for smaller displays.

I used a mouse and keyboard on it which actually worked great but then it loses it's portability.

>>52899380
Aw man, I was going to get that as well.

I guess I will try that other slightly more complicated one, see if that is any better.
There was one with the 2 sets of IO for the screen that use different methods, forgot which though. (one using the pins, other using SPI I think, fuck knows, my head is killing me today due to bug)

Idk about McD, but what works quite well in offices is to use an old laptop power supply as housing and just plug it in somewhere. while I was still at the company they moved the whole office equipment once and pluged it back in, even my rPi. A year after I left it stopped responding... really interested how they found it

>>52892812
I'm currently using it as either smart TV module (with Kodi) or an external laptop speaker (with Pulseaudio, but it hangs after some time and I need to ssh to the RPi, play a sound file locally and abort it - then somehow PA on RPi magically remembers that it's supposed to play the sound from Firefox running on my laptop)

Arduino would be great too. Lots of cool stuff that can be done with one of those. Though it might not be as apparently fun as legos.

I've got a RPi that I'm planning to use for a lo-fi effects pedal for my bass. I don't really need many effects normally--distortion/overdrive/fuzz, and maybe an envelope filter--but effects are fun to fuck around with. The problem is that I don't want to spend a lot of money on a bunch of different ones that I don't really need. Even cheap ones can get expensive if you buy enough. So I'm thinking a re-programmable pedal built from a cheap RPi would be a better solution. It'll save space too. The money I save can go towards nicer gear that I actually do need.

I wonder why everyone keeps saying to do some network related stuff with it.

Isn't it too slow for that task since it shares a bus with the USB stuff?

If you were to build a NAS using external USB hard drives, wouldn't it be too slow?

why did you buy a raspberry pi although you don't need it?

>>52897484
that's the point retard. you should had a purpose when you bought it.
raspberry pi is a small computer with a low power consumption.
it is for poor people who can't afford a full computer or who wanna make embedded/low power projects.

I installed retropie on it and it is great.

2,5" usb hdd cable tied to it, ethernet and power plugged in, I'm using it as a seedbox for a year now.
It took me 2 days to properly configure everything with literally zero linux knowledge.
I set up rtorrent with watch folder, rutorrent, init.d for rtorrent, samba, moved everything to hdd except boot partition so the sd card isn't used, all through ssh.
It was kind of stable, but at 500+ torrents some gave me timeouts and other errors, I guessed the raspberry cannot hold up, so as a last resort I compiled the latest libtorrent and rtorrent, that took me another fucking 2 days to figure out compiling and resolving the shitton of errors I got, but it's all working and stable since.
