If anyone has wierd shit to say about it, odd experiences to share... Issues or successes...

Anyone ever work on or use one of these?

Anyone got any relevant information?

>now I have a situation

use a powerline + router if need be? costly though

your a fucking tard, ya know that?

son srsly?
what do we have to do?
let's start with the spicks and go from there

they can bend, but maybe not as well if you hardened them

I just made lock pics out of a hacksaw blade. The howto site i learned how from said to anneal it (which i dd, and then it said to harden it again. The tip of he tension wrench was annealed blue by the grinding and quenching, so it might be good. Do I need to harden the metal again? it seems like it might just make the metal brittle.

hello /DIY/ I want to make kratos's God armor and I was wondering if anyone has or can make a 3d model for it, unfolded, in pepakura, I don't know how to make this stuff and it would be slot of help to get the model I can do the rest

If u read the hard way from that instruct able u do

I read a cool instructable about making a laptop into a tablet pc. In the instructable it shows the screen taken and put where the keyboard/touchpad usually is. i have an old panosonic toughbook which doesnt have a fan,and the heat is supposed to radiate out the back and the keyboard. If the screen was put where the keyboard usually is woul it block the heat and overheat my computer? Should i install a new fan?

> As long as you have access to U-boot you can always boot into single user mode.

How would I do that? I've tried every not option I could find in Us- Boot's help menu, but they all end up either returning an error, or freezing at the point at the end of that PasteBin post.

well fellow /diy/kes, I followed the instructions here: http://wanners.net:8000/blog/2011/02/sheevaplug-lenny-to-squeeze/
to try to upgrade the sheevaplug, and I seem to have sort of bricked it.

I can get into U-boot still, but it freezes. The weird thing is, some of the services are still running! To bad SSH isn't one of them.

Here is what pops up on my screen while booting and connected to serial: http://pastebin.com/Uah7ZUZ1

Here's an nmap scan showing that even though it's pretty derped, some stuff still runs:

nmap -sV 192.168.2.136

If anyone can help, great. If not, then in a day or two I'm going to sell it on eBay, and buy something that still has documentation, an active user community, and doesn't require reworking right out of the box. Like Anon said, they're pretty obsolete, so maybe I'll buy a newer plug, as the PIs seem too slow for some of the things I want to do, like streaming HD video to game consoles.

He's talking to me

Thanks for helping, /diy/, you guys didn't let me down.

>SheevaPlug should be supported right out of the box
>should be

I agree that it should be, but it's really not. The links you gave me, Anon, were very helpful. Unfortunately, more than a few times, those directions had links that led to the same 404s on plugcomputer.org I had encountered before.

I've made a little progress. I was finally able to access the JTAG via USB, which I need to do in order to upgrade the u-boot bootloader, which is needed to upgrade the kernel (and/or boot from sdcard), which is needed to install drivers for webcams, which is needed to run a webcam server on sheevaplug, which is the whole reason i bought one.

I can't get u-boot to recognize any USB devices. The documentation specifies FAT, so I tried FAT16 and FAT32. Plus, once Linux boots up on the plug, lsusb reveals that the USB hub is in fact working (at least partially) because the devices are listed there.

I'm really dissapointed with the Sheevaplug community. Everything is either an incomplete answer, or a link to a 404 error.

I'm posting this to warn everyone away from Sheevaplugs. I think I'm going to buy another Raspberry PI and just use that. FML.

I want to repeat that this Anon:
>>423659
did provide some useful links that I couldn't find on my own, so props to him/her.

I bought one for $15 (including shipping) from Amazon, and use Torque Free. (It shipped with the pro version of Torque as an .apk, but I never bothered installing it, since the free version works just as well)

>>423659
Thanks Anon! I'm gonna check these out as soon as I can, and I'll keep /diy/ posted with the progress of a /diy/ CCTV system on the cheap!

>>423634
Thank you, Anon, for replying.

>you can try configuring apt to point at the official package repositories
I'll try to figure out how to do that. If you told me where to look, I'd be much obliged.

>nuke the existing Linux and install official Debian onto it.
Do you know if the Sheeva plug can run it? I've been trying to figure that out myself, and every time I find what looks like a promising link to relevant information, it leads me to a 404 error. (pic related)

I hope a righteous Anon can help me. Some info until then.

The webcam page is served with Apache2/XAMPP, with authentication required to get into the webcam section (not crazy good authentication, but better than nothing).

The Motion configuration file, and subsequent thread files are configured to support multiple cameras. Right now, the live view is all I've gotten to. Once a second, motion takes a still image, and writes it to the /var/www/secure directory, while the webpage has a javascript that refreshes once a second.

Once the USB cameras are working, I'll set it to detect motion (ignoring my house cats) and when it detects motion, it will record to an external drive. I'll also have the mail daemon set up, and configure a bash script to send a warning email to my phone via email to sms (each carrier has a particular domain for this, so you address it to phonenumber@carrier.something.com). Then, I'll use the live view to see if infact I'm being burgled. If I am, I call 911 and say "There's a robbery in progress" and maybe make the plug play a siren sound or something. If not, I just ignore it.

I live in an okay neighborhood that's in steady decline (more and more meth houses and busts each week). Even though our cars are old and crappy, people have still tried to get into them. In my old neighborhood (one city away) we were broken into twice while we were away (we even had a pitbull for the second robbery), and had a digital camera and cash taken the first time, and a laptop computer taken the second time, so I guess I'm still pretty froggy about getting robbed.

Oh my little /diy/kes, I want to find some good Raspberry Pi guides.

I only care about the ones that my fellow people of /diy/ have personally used and found useful.

Of course, there will be some misguided souls who scream "Google it you derp!". And, of course, I have.

I'm not looking for Raspberry Pi guides, I'm looking for Raspberry Pi guides that you personally have found to be useful. Guides that *you* used, and after which you said to yourself: "Self, that was a righteously awesome guide!"

(GPIO pins, anyone?)
