Just ordered my raspberry Pi

I'm hoping we can somehow intagrate it into our Ddin unit's so i'm opening this thread to get things started, well i can't really start anything yet as i don't have one :)

But if anyone has purchased one yet please post here!

Hi Joe
I have had my name down for one for ages now:shrug:
I'm planning on doing the same thing. Integrating it into the Sean dd unit, hiding it up behind the dash. Can't wait to play:D

Still to wait 4 weeks for delivery Steve :(

Hopefully your number will come up soon!

I did the USB mod to the Ddin, i'm hoping the Pi can communicate through it.

see this thread for the mod.

I've got mine, had to get up and pre-order it at stupid o'clock, it's currently integrated into my home network but I did think how it could be used for ICE.

Did you buy an OS with it?
On an SD card?

No, I'd got some SD cards lying around so I just downloaded the Debian squeeze image from the rasp pi site and put it on a card.

Can it be powered alone by USB?

Yes, it uses a micro-usb for power. It requires 5V (iirc) and any branded mobile phone charger (Sony, BlackBerry, HTC, etc.) would be ok.

You could print a picture of your Rover on it :)
