And it's not a case of SD/SDHC backward compatibility issues ?
I know a couple USB cardreaders which won't accept older SD cards <=2Gb and so far I figured it's a SD <> SDHC issue.

no. as you can probably see from my jpg of my modmypi case and my vonets wifi bridge, i have a 2GB non SDHC card in there running raspbmc. i also have a 4GB card running RISC OS, a 4GB card running archlinux and an 8GB running raspbian.Originally Posted by Stoffl
i run mine with a 8GB SDHC card iwth no problems~
Cheers mate. I'll give it a go once the case arrives.It's REALLY dependant on the quality of the card. The general consensus is that "most" Class 10's dont work, rather than do. Noone seems to know exactly why just yet, but its generally agreed that its something to do with how the card reads/writes information to it. Best thing to do is just try it and see if it does. If it doesnt, its not like its hard to go out and buy any old cheap SD card.I tried a class 4 when I first got mine and it wouldn't work. Picked up a class 10 after that and it worked perfectly. Might be different manufacturers or something.Can anyone say whether this still seems to hold true? I picked up an 8GB Class 10 SDHC from a campus shop yesterday before a tiny alarm bell had a chance to ring and send me back, looking for this post.
It's probably intimidated by your enormous router.
I run both of mine on 16GB cards, both boot the unmodified images and work great.
One big thing to remember, Class 10 is NOT necessarily faster than Class 4/6. The Class is based on Sequential write speed, which matters a lot for cameras but not much for OSes.
Here's benchmarks and buy links on my two:

Winner is a mid-grade "Ultra" SanDisk Class 6, which smokes the other even though it's a Class 10.
The expansion board (gertboard) is on pre-order right now. This makes me very happy as I am planning on using one of my Pis as part of my final year Electronics project. Just a shame they are using a ATmega chip instead of a PIC on it as I know my way around PIC microcontrollers. At least the expansion board will protect the Pi in case I derp up a circuit.
Honestly, you might consider designing your own expansion board for your project. That's how I learned (made a PIC interface to an LCD and RFID module), and it's not nearly as hard as you'd think, especially if you already know PIC's. Not much more expensive than that, either.
The Gertboard is cool, but it lacks elegance for robust stuff, and is limited by the through-hole-only layout. Chances are, unless you're using it for a benchtop toy, you're going to need more capabilities quick. And the choices on the chips are somewhat wtf, Microchip analog converters but an Atmel uC? Too bad too, the original version had a PIC18F26K20, very nice mid-level chip. http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-conten.../12/front2.jpg

Oh, the Gertboard wont be involved in the final design, just the Pi. It will be there so I can fuck with the GPIO without me accidentallly the entire Pi before I go on. Atm I am thinking about using the Pi/uC to basically monitor a small Aquaponic (or Hydroponic) system and print its status to the screen. Automate what I can but have the ability to manually turn on relays to activate pumps and such. Should be doable by using SSH/Putty to access the Pi over a network. I really need to go learn some Python programming before I continue though.Honestly, you might consider designing your own expansion board for your project.

I may even blog the progress (of failure) if you nerds will be into that shit.

Shit yeah, sounds cool. I'm actually looking at doing nearly the same thing (process monitoring), except instead of a Gertboard I'll be using a Siemens PLC. I'd like to build an open source SCADA HMI that isn't $1500.
I'm considering hacking it together on a Nexus 7 first, then running it on the Pi once it gets Android. Time to learn Java.
Also, look at ncurses for your UI. It's a library which lets you make very nice text-based UI's that work over SSH, rather than crapping numbers out to the screen. I have it compiling with C++ code and running on my Pi.

Any body got cec working on LG TVs with the pi? All im reading points to a no.
Can confirm the Vonets wifi bridge is pretty cool, got mine today and I've now set up Raspbmc and everything is working fine.
i have managed to break raspian like 3 times this week, i must be doing it right
raspbmc already has wifi drivers pre-installed for a number of different common chipsets. just sayin.

You have to purchase mpeg-2 and vc-1 licenses, but who cares...it's cheap.New video features! MPEG-2 and VC-1 decode, H.264 encode, CEC support
<&QuackBot> Fuggin: There once was a man named tugginfuggin. He oft tugged his fuggin. That is the tale of tugginfuggin.
buying the shit out of that
Just been emailed my codes, day earlier than expected
Same....ordered last night, got them this morning. I edited the config file before I left for work and will mess with once I get home.

well that's nice.
i guess i'll buy mine tonight~
My Pibow case was finally dispatched over the weekend so should hopefully turn up today and I can get the Pi out of its rather unglamorous business card case.
it's about god damned time .jpg
