I haven't used a PI - but, have contemplated getting one to play with - since they are so cheap. However, this past year - I've been BURIED, working on tons of prototyping projects.
If you look at Thingiverse.com - you can probably find some interesting 3D Models - that when printed - can work as an Enclosure for a PI. I might be able to print one of them up for you... Also - I believe you can find a PI Enclosure on Shapeways.com - which can get printed & Shipped to you... -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Virgil Bierschwale Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 11:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NF] Anybody have any experience with the raspberry pi? I'm working on a project called Food and Utilities For Free. Long story, but I'm looking to use fish ponds with squarefoot gardening techniques mounted above the fish pond with a rain system that takes water from the pond and drains back into the pond. I also believe that one of the main problems with solar power is that we try to a whole house concept and I think we would have better and more affordable results using a zoned process. I am looking at these for monitoring the sensors and actuating the control valves. Oh yes, and water storage collected from rainwater -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christof Wollenhaupt Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 8:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] if you don't have to constantly check your web site while developing, but only want to occasionally check that everything is working on a Mac, it would be cheaper not to buy one. There are many public places where you can put yourself in front of a Mac to go through your web apps for free or little money, such as in a public library, a hotel lobby of many larger brands, internet cafes, Apple Stores, etc. With regard to a Linux computer: Amazon offers the smallest EC2 instance for free as a Linux machine. Instead of buying a new computer, you could use your existing Windows machine and simply RDP into the Amazon instance ( http://aws.amazon.com/free/). -- Christof --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/631D6E39F5E5467CAE5400C370596AF1@Programming2 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
