Pi as an Android extension board?

Hi guys, the Raspberry Pi project really got me interested cause of a long time hobby dream project of giving my Note arms and legs (sensors and functions). Is the raspberry pi capable of doing stuff like the Google Arduino Board or the Sparkfun IOIO? Thanks!

There is an extension board made for the RPi called the Gertboard http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/pr...e&utm_source=AskAndAnswer&utm_content=Default it would be perfect for trying to give your note external sensors and functions. It would probably require a some hardware tinkering and hacking to get things perfect but go for it .

Oh.. So how do I interface the Pi with my phone?

I would check out the AOA (Android Open Accessory) library https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full another alternative that would probably work better is the AlaMode Arduino shield http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MKWY1&Click=37845 and the Arduino commander app http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...oIDwBg&usg=AFQjCNFkLAM1wJVlElT7aepVcGvKxq3U6g.

Do yourself a favor and go to http://www.adafruit.com
They have everything imaginable for the pi. I just got the proto board and nfc breakout board along with fddi so I can get it interfaced with my Android devices. There also a little cheaper than Newark cause they get a lot of their products from adafruit. For the basics you can get a cobbler, it should come with the gpio cable and breadboard etc.

Ubuntu on N7 - Post your program experiences here (?)

As the title suggests. I'm interested to hear what people have installed and got successfully running the Ubuntu install on the Nexus 7. Is there a spreadsheet anywhere that outlines compatible and experiences?
Ideally, wanting to know if anyone's been using Eclipse with any other plugins (specifically anyone tried FDT would be cool)
Cheers

Keep in mind you can't run x_86 applications on an ARM device... so I don't know if eclipse will work at all, me being oblivious to whether or not they'd have an ARM version.

You mean on the computer or tablet?

I see that there's an armhf Raring compile of Eclipse > https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/armhf/eclipse
I suppose if you want to get even more pedantic and specific, I was ultimately wondering if you could also hook up another Android phone via OTG usb, then with Eclipse and FDT you could compile out Captive runtime Air?
I know I'll probably get shot down in flames with a "why don't you just get a laptop", and I am contemplating that too, but ideally I want/need to get a a tablet so the N7 is looking more likely. Tbh, I'll probably use Android more, but potential dual booting with Ubuntu functionality would be the icing the cake.

Been testing ubuntu using multirom. It's nice to have but I still feel that it needs to be more tab friendly and a few bugs ironed out. Boots quick and looks nice. I have also tested bohdi linux and that works well too. In time ubuntu will be a winner on the nexus 7 I think.

Using Raspberry pi asa CPU,RAM and Fan readout for a PC

For a project at school, I am wanting to use the raspberry pi to detect the CPU, Ram and fan speeds and temperatures of my PC and display them on a miniature LCD screen mounted to the front of the chassis. Does anyone see this as being possible?
I need a way to connect the Pi to the motherboard of my pc, and I need to find a way to do this in python, which should be possible I believe.

A bit overkill, why you simply don't use simple atmega?

Yes that's what I want to do!

Yes, this is possible. Tho as stated the raspberry pi is overkill for just an LCD, but you could also run a webserver on it with all the data or something like that .

Yeah I might run either a web server or network management of some description.

Yes, you're right, the Pi is overkill. But programming in a high level language is quite easier than struggling with C. Beyond, a programming board is usually way more expensive than the Pi.
@TO: I would store the data in a web server and display it via my smartphone.

Wich is the best tablet to use with an HTC one?

My friends, I'm thinking that I really need a tablet to complement my SGN2. I don't want to close any option before I hear from you. I'm an advance user, and I'm looking for something that really gives me more that my sgn2. I used to have an iPad I sold it because only my children were using it to play around, but since the anounncement that office 365 was out in USA, I'm thinking to get me an iPad mini. Another choice might be an w8 tablet, since I want it only to get my job done (lots of reports and presentation, microsoft dominates my working environment). I was thinking also to let go my SGN2, get an HTC one and buy a note 10'. What do you think?? Please help me out here.

Or wait a month or two for a probable announcement of the next Nexus 7 Unless you need something bigger in which case a new Nexus 10 should make it's way to announcement soon as well~

wait for the new N7 or N10
if you're getting an android tablet might aswell be a nexus

But what do you think of the other tablets?, I want it to use it on my job, advance tools for powerpoint and advance tools for excell... on Android I can't seems to find somethingh as powerfull as the office suite.
I've allready have an apple account with several software bought, maybe w8 is a good choice but it's a new system and just to have to buy all over again just doesn't seems right.

Well it's weird then that you're asking on here what NON-Android/HTC device to get considering you're already leaning way towards an Apple device anyway for the above stated reasons

Thats beacause I don't know everything and maybe there is something that I'm missing, don't you think?

It's a work based tablet. You shouldn't be buying a tablet for work though

I am using galaxy note 8.0 and HTC one. You just can't get wrong with the combination.
I used S4 which I think was really laggy and half of the memory was taken by Samsung apps.HTC one get the dev edition from HTC USA online store.
It is amazing piece of equipment.

Sure, I'll use it only when I feel creative. I also have an Lenovo X220 Tablet and is really to big and heavy to carry arround. That's my main working device, but on the go, sometimes y feell that my SGN2 just doesn't help me all the way. I'll take a look at that Dell. thank you!!

Nexus 7 hands down. Love mines from day 1.

When will there be a 64GB Nexus 7?

Hoping for one soon.

Maybe not for a while
Google does NOT want you to be able to store lots of things on your device. They want you to use there Cloud services. This way they see more about you . See more about your Habits and so on. As well as get most of your stuff on there cloud.Having you attached to them this way helps keep you for a long term customer. Not to mention they sell Data collected about what you do and store to other companies . OF course they say they do this without exposing who you are.
SO the answer is.
Unless they change there way of thinking . Or consumers start switching to products with much more storage . They will likely keep ON Device storage as it is . Give you just enough for you to keep it almost full. And Require some type of Networked Storage.
BUY A HOME SERVER.. there are many out there from companies likes Netgear western digital..Synology buffalo and so on.
I have Synology Disk station and love it My data on MY server ..
Good Luck .. :fingers-crossed:

I never thought about it this way, but it makes perfect sense!
I have the 32GB one and I rarely use more then 16GB. I do watch series on, but I delete it once I watch it. I wouldn't upgrade to 64 one if it came out, I don't need it.
If however, there will be a N7 with 64 GB, it's probably going to be the 2014 or 2015, not the current 2013.

What about the *possible* nexus 8 that was up on Google's android.com site earlier this week? Will that have 64gb?

Since nexus 8 is just a rumor with no ground I'm gonna go ahead and say Sure, why not
