Is this just happenstance or do we need to consider a new venue again? The last venue change to The Broadway came about because there were one or two people (Victor for example) who lived nearby and its location on a bus route meant that those without cars could make it. Anyway; just a thought. Conversation on our side of the table included Raspberry Pi peripheral kits, Windows 10 for 'The Internet of Things' (eg the RPi), wireless hardware on Linux and getting a domain name by the easiest/cheapest route. We also discussed 'the good 'ole days' and I happened to pull up the 'Events' pages on the LUG Wiki: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=events:install_day:2001[1] http://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=events:install_day:2002[2] I notice that the images on those pages only include the thumbnails. I'm sure that when these pictures first went up there was a proper 'gallery' and clicking on a thumbnail took you to the full-size picture. Anyone know what happened? I appear to have the 2002 originals (I took them), but I don't have anything from 2001. The history shows no earlier versions. -- Terry Coles [1] http://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=events:install_day:2001 [2] http://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=events:install_day:2002 -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2015-06-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
Re: [Dorset] Meeting Tonight at the Broadway
These are the two Raspberry Pi breakout boards that I have. The first one I have tried and not had any success with, perhaps due to (as Terry says) the mislabelling of the pins. http://proto-pic.co.uk/raspberry-pi-gpio-breakout-paddle-board/ [ Comes with ribbon cable to I/O pins] The other one I have not tried yet. http://shop.ciseco.co.uk/k002-slice-of-pi-o/ Also it seems that some people have had HDMI - VGA converters working on the R-Pi, but mine didn't the only time that I tried it. The R-pi is sitting in a shoe box in my garage until I feel like playing with it again.

What I've ordered is a bit more expensive http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P2E9W30?psc=1redirect=trueref_=o h_aui_detailpage_o00_s00[1] but it would seem hasn't been flagged as being mis-labelled. Clearly this kit is pretty comprehensive, whereas the boards that you were referring to are just that; boards. I can remember reading somewhere about mislabelling and I thought it was the Sunfounder kit. I must have been confused. Also it seems that some people have had HDMI - VGA converters working on the R-Pi, but mine didn't the only time that I tried it. The R-pi is sitting in a shoe box in my garage until I feel like playing with it again. Yeah; mine works fine with my HP w1907s monitor.
