I hope this is something that pans out. I am getting tired of the problems with the Mavericks. Have some that if you touch them they stop working, some that just don't work anymore after 1-2 uses. Gets expensive

Ok figured out some stuff. I assume it is working. None of the three LED lights are lite up, but I adjusted the contrast on the display and it says no pit probe now. I haven't plugged any in yet. I should see one of the three lights lit at this point? If I push the button to the left the middle...

Going to have to mess around. When I push the button to the left the middle LCD light comes on. I can make the LCD bright and lower. Everything looks like it is in the right place and the solder joints look good. The new power supply comes Tuesday. I didn't attach the blower fan yet.

I just realized that I am using a .5 amp instead of a 1a. Could that make the difference? I have to go buy a 1a. Radio Shack wants like 30 or 40 dollars for it.

Finally got my parts and OF course I ran into a problem somewhere. Got it all together. Put image on SD card. Put card in slot. Turned it on. The display lights up (no words) When I started it all three LCD lights lit up. The Pi itself has a red light and a had a slow flashing green ( I assume...

Uggggggg I finally found the time to build mine get nearly finished and I cannot located the R6 10k TRIM_US-CT6 and radio shack doesn't carry it :-(

Side note- did you ever make use of the micro adapter I sent for the pie awhile back?

Would have to find a battery that can handle a charge overnight as well. Wouldn't be hard but would add some more bulk to it.

Thats great. Looks nice. Now we just need it solar powered and we are all set

Guess I will just try it. Hope all has been well.

Tom is helping me, thanks Miller (hehe I have a friend named Matt Miller on Long Island.) The one at work is in a closet and has not been used in a long time. I have to get it out. It was originally bought a drafting /Cad classroom. The model is Dimension BST 768. I have permission to use it...

When I built my Linksys one last year, I had problems with the LCD screen so I did not use it. I wasn't sure if it was something I did wrong, or what. Is there a way for me to test it in advance? This way if it works or doesn't work I have less downtime?

Hi all, Haven't been around in a month or two. Been busy. Still have not built my RPI yet. What case is the best to order now? Going to start it in a day or two. I didn't even get the chance to play with the 3d printer at work yet:-(

Yes, but at least if more local businesses start with 3d printing it will drive some of the prices down a little bit for cases and such for projects like these in the future.

Staples to offer 3D printing next year, partners with Mcor. Starting outside the USA but still pretty cool. 3D printer maker Mcor Technologies announced yesterday a new partnership with Staples to offer "Staples Easy 3D" -- a 3D printing service for customers. The service aims to offer...
