Raspberry Pi 3

The Raspberry Pi 3 is out: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-3-on-sale/

I've ordered mine.

Carpi #3: network

For the software aspect of the Carpi, I had these constraints in mind:
- Control of the player should be done through phones to avoid loging remotes and removing the need to access the pi's display.
- The Carpi needs internet access once in a while for updates and library rescan.
- The phones connected to the Carpi will need internet access while talking to the Carpi.

Carpi #2: hardware

Once the Carpi project was on the way, I started to collect the hardware I needed.

Carpi #1: genesys

The reason why I started this blog was recount for the Carpi project: taking the Raspberry pi to the car.

Pis ahead

I came late to the Raspberry pi movement. For a long time I didn't have any use for them so didn't get any. I was more used to desktop and server machines (my office is full of them) and I didn't see the point of the small under-powered wee things.
