Introduce Yourselves!

bltsandwich1 over 12 years ago

The great part about E14 is that the community is great, and you can make some great connections. With that in mind it may help to introduce yourself to the group, and so I've thought up a couple questions that might aid in some of those connections.

 

  • Name and Locale?
  • Type of employment (Elementary, Secondary, Collegiate, Student, Enginering)?
  • What have you used the Rpi for (or what do you plan to use it for)?
  • What is your biggest goal you have for your Rpi, or what do you want to use it for, but might not have the skills for yet?

    I figure I better be the one to start. I'm John Moosemiller (but I guess you can already see that), and for now I'm living in the Chicago Area, but not for long.... I'll explain Currently I am student…

    I figure I better be the one to start.

     

    I'm John Moosemiller (but I guess you can already see that), and for now I'm living in the Chicago Area, but not for long.... I'll explain

     

    Currently I am student and am a recent HS (Naperville North) grad. In the fall I'll be attending the University of Houston to study Chemical Engineering with a computer science minor. I am also the Co-Founder and Memeer of the Board of Project LEAD an Illinois Not-For-Profit Corporation. Project LEAD produces YouTube videos (many about the Raspberry Pi) and shares some of the coolest STEM news on the web. I'm also working (although only for a few moe days) at the University of Chicago in the Computation Institute.

     

    I've used the Pi as a server, media center, and desktop (learning Python)

     

    I'd love to use the Pi for more hardware interfacing (which is why I just placed a PiFace order). But Hardware + John + full-time job = no Harware interfacing.

     

    I like to think I know my way around the pi pretty well, so if you have any questions feel free to ask! And if I don't know the answer I DEFINITELY know somebody that does.

    Hi

     

    I'm John Douven, from Kyneton in Victoria in Australia. Just call me douvie - I've gotten use to that over the years. I'm a Customer Service Engineer/Office equipment repair tech. I've just bought the Raspberry kit and just a noob in regards to the Raspberry wonder. I have many hobbies and interests which include electronics, computer hardware & software, programming, 3D modeling, new (& old) technology, SciFi,....sorry I don't want to bore everyone to death but the list could still go on.

     

    I like interfacing hardware - interested in interfacing the PI with the Arduino stuff - and of course with my Android tablet.

    Douvie,

     

    I'd love to see the Pi interfaced with a tablet, so let us know if you ever get a project going, or if you have any questions about getting started!

    Hi John,

     

    My A500 has a mini HDMI port…hopefully it is bidirectional and I can use my tablet as a temporary monitor. I'll have to check the specs  I've got to get a few things together. My Pi has only got a 4GB SDCARD and I've been informed by one of the chaps at RS COMPONENTS that all I need to do is to download the image onto a 8GB or 16GB to get more "memory". So what about a 32GB SDCARD??? Theoretically it should still work.

     

    douvie.

    Apparently if you want to get REALLY crazy you can go all the way up to 128GB, but you can find a full list here, RPi SD cards - eLinux.org Hope that this helps, and I wouldn't be too hopeful about the A500 as a monitor, just because of hardware limitations of switching (I have yet to find a tablet that can do this).

     

    Lemme know if you have any other questions!

    John Moosemiller
