Hey guys, I'm in the process of gutting out my PS3 and installing a raspberry pi 2. I got a couple of questions, does anyone have a suggestions to wire the touch sensor to my pi2? Also is there a way to turn the pi on and off with a remote, preferably with a ps3 controller.

Hey guys, getting into getting a home media server setup and need help. Currently I want to keep this as cheep as possible. I want to take a 3TB external HDD found here, connect it to a raspberry pi with wifi found here, and use it to connect the HDD to the raspberry pi, and my ubuntu/windows laptop as a media center. I want to be able to use my HDD for anything and everything I want to do on my laptop, but also have a partition plugged into the raspberry pi, with all my movies and music on it to stream around my house. I want to be able to rip a DVD, or buy an MP4, copy it to that folder, turn off my computer, and still be able to use the raspberry pi as the media server. Then I want to be able to play everything on the raspberry pi on my PS3, Xbox 360, unlocked wii, rooted android tablets/phones, and other computer on my local internet connection. I know the raspberry pi supports a XBMC setup, and also linux. Is there a way to setup it up like that with XBMC, and connect to all my devices, or a better software approach? I chose the pi for its price, and its options to change software for many purposes, and extra accessories for the price. Currently I have 1 xbox 360 elite, PS3 250GB, a unlocked/hacked wii, and a stock wii (able to mod also) I want to stream to, and android devices would be a plus, especially if away from home. I get 25MB/s internet download speeds, but I have a 300MB/S dual band motorola surfboard router. Would it be possible to set this all up how I want? The consoles are already setup to all the TVs, and I have experience tinkering with software. I want to keep this under $100 if possible (HDD is already ordered), since I already have all the consoles and TVs.
This would be awesome.
I'm currently trying to do just this. I've not found much help online for this. Any luck so far?
I've been searching for a way to control my raspberry pi via Bluetooth and my phone or ps3 controller. I am using Openelec. Has anyone attempted this? Any success?

If you are using OpenELEC, just turn on the webservice. Then, you can use XBMC remote or other 3rd party apps and control via WiFi.
If you really want to do Bluetooth, then you need a bluetooth transmitter/adapter for your RPi.

I appreciate the responses. I am looking for a way to control my Raspberry Pi via bluetooth is because I won't have internet access all the time so I am looking for a control that works with bluetooth. I was also thinking of using a IR control.
A small keyboard with a touch pad might work. Wired would be more reliable/easier to set up than bluetooth. Also, if you're using it with an hdmi TV, you could get a good universal remote and set the keymap for your preference. I have done both of those in hotels, when I might not feel like trying to get the pi and the phone on the wifi and talking to each other.
I've successfully used one of these keyboards/touchpads as gotcha640 describes with my B+ and Openelec - works very nicely. I also have CEC access through my TV remote (an LG) which after a little tweaking to get a couple of extra keys working and mapped (welcome back contextual menu!) is good for routine operations, with the keyboard/touchpad coming into play for operations that need filenames etc. But equally the keyboard cursor keys or the mouse pointer select both work fine too.
The kbd/pad has a little dongle that plugs straight into the Pi. Works fine over the range of my lounge, although you do have to remember to point the keyboard toward the TV as the IR sender is a little directional (but nothing that causes an issue).
So I've searched and want to make sure I'm not missing something. I'm looking to put my Raspberry Pi 3 in my car as a supplement/media to the infotainment center. Im connecting it with the CRUX AVITY interfacing setup. My main question or problem is that I want to be able to screen mirror my phone, on occasion, to the RPi (Google maps for example is much better than my on board nav unit). Is there a way to do this with the WiFi chip on the Raspberry Pi 3? Do I need a dongle? What is the current solution most people are using in this scenario? I'm on a Galaxy S8+.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys! , I saw on youtube and on vibell.org, a solution for a raspberry pi based smart doorbell.
Currently, i own the first raspberry pi (RASPBERRY P1 MODEL B), a usb 2.0 camera, a breadboard, some buttons and leds.
I wan't to do the project has shown on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRZ6QxxXRdI , the thing is that this project is made with the raspberry pi camera module (that i don't own), and i want to use a usb 2.0 camera instead, in this project he also uses a usb sound card that i don't understand why, i would want do replace that usb sound card with the soldered one on the raspberry pi
But i don't know how
I'm a beginner with the raspberry pi and programming.
Hope you can help me !
By the way the site is : vibell.org
Waiting for answer!

Hello guys!
I have a raspberry PI 3 (model b) with all necessary accessories and different sensors such as (DHT11, BMP 180, MQ-2 etc.)
So far I have managed to install Raspbian OS and log-in to PI using Putty via Wi-Fi (as I don't have external screen)
1. Is it possible to connect many sensors let's say about 3 to 5 to a single breadboard connected with raspberry PI 3?
2. Once the sensors are added successfully is it possible to collect and send data to the android app? Let's say if I create a very simple looking android app and then I can see the temperature directly from the sensor on phone?
I know there are different IoT platforms that allow sharing data in the cloud, but I want to build everything from scratch.
I am a beginner on this, so I am still studying and reading but would appreciate if someone could give me some guidance where to start.
Regards
you can use and adruino and a bluetooth module to connect it to a raspberry pi and build an app to receive and display the data from the sensors. building one myself for a project.
U can do something like this with raspberry pi + arduino

Raspberry pi and arduino are connected via a simple serial usb cable that comes with arduino.
It uses PubNub as the server and arduino and Android phone are connected to internet.
why not just RDP or use JuiceSSH for viewing remotely
