I was going to start the r-pi questions in that other thread for Kodi, but then thought it deserves one of it own.

So, I have done an install or two and played around with pi but I want to see what everyone else is using. I just got the new Pi 2 and was going to start a fresh install. What distro should I use? Here are the items I’m looking for:

-Kodi
-on a 32gb card
-Plex support
-what else??

Re: Raspberry Pi Thread

I have beaglebone, some what same kind of thing as r-pie.
I put debian distribution on it. (very easy to burn it on sd(small) drive procedure is on the net)
Then I did attache usb cam and took pictures(I have code if you need it)
Then I drove stepper motor with it using r-pie python library.(its easy as well)

So I have enough to build a small picture taking boat :D

I can attach other things I have experience with sensor too a little. Like temperature/ultrason/infrared etc. I want to play with gyroscope now.

I do have brushless motors when I have time I am going to start making quadcopter.

Re: Raspberry Pi Thread

I have the stock pi OS installed on mine. Wanted to do some cool project with it but time got away. Maybe this will get me back in the game. I am getting a metricom G-box for my xbmc/kodi.

Re: Raspberry Pi Thread

I remembered teh first one but searched for it and nothing showed up so started another. You can merge them if you'd like.

Re: Raspberry Pi Thread

There is hardly any skill involved :smiley:
Just have interest.
Try playing with dc motor or LEDs first. connect it with gpio and run it with python or some thing.
Its fun.

Re: Raspberry Pi Thread

Maybe you guys can install FreePBX on Pi and build a VOIP server...( and maybe sell it on eBay for like 100 bucks or so.. .)
