Now that's the way it's supposed to work!

Raspberry pi playing video files from my network!

Raspberry Pi!

I've joined the world of  Raspberry Pi owners, a cool little 500MHz computer the size of a credit card for $35!

Notes I've accumulated to make this work for me:

• Install Debian GNU "Rasbian Wheezy" ISO onto a 4GB+ SD card
• Follow the partition resizing instructions posted here by Simon the Pi man
• Remember the vi editor key commands, as they are seldom used (like dd is delete line)!
• Set the screen to align to my 52" Sony Bravia:
• edit /boot/config.txt and set the overscan_* parameters:
• left=20; right=22; top=-21; bottom=-16
• Install some helpful tools, for example Wireshark:
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install wireshark libpcap-dev
• sudo cetcap cap_net_raw,cap_net__admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap
• Set static IP for our robot (10.38.16.99), but also DHCP to the internet (/etc/network/interfaces)
• Install OpenCV and other required tools:
• sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libgtk2.0-dev python-dev python-numpy libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
• mkdir OpenCV
• cd OpenCV
• cmake ..\OpenCV-2.4.3
• make
• sudo make install
• Trying to follow along with FRC team 3574's use of OpenCV
• Question becomes, "what possible frame rate might this deliver?"

Trim is looking good!

The 3rd time they got fed today!
