To listen to some people you would think that the launch of the Pi2 stopped all the B+s bought in the last month to suddenly stop working have you met human beings before? :) If you'd bought 10 B+ week last monday - you'd be a bit peeved at least :) If you had £2K B+ in stock in your company -you'd...

how there really wasn't anything that could be done about it.

With respect, there's ALWAYS a better way to do something

I'm sure we'll be chatting about this at the party

Always a good idea for programs to work OK on last years model as that is actually the majority of your user base normally (MS would concur on that statistic) Now - we do have a problem in that we have the current A+ with 256MB and the 2B with 1G Common sense says target the B+ for OK operation and ...

Nobody wants to be left holding 10,000 of last year's model. There's no doubt that there must be a compromise way between total openness and total secrecy Human nature is to be disappointed in buying something one month to find a better model next month at same price. Firms who were not in on the s...

@hayder
All the GPIO libs are having to be re-written and since they are all by volunteers/enthusiasts they have to do it in their spare time

WiringPi has been done but RPi.GPIO and Joan's lib not there yet

I mean - how accurate do you need

What's it needed for - sub-microm electron scanning or a case that fits OK with a big of jiggling?

Simon

PS Thingverse cases give good information

Tau :-) I like that as I am a Tau man Wwho wants to wast time multiplying unnecessarily by 2 - you can gain an extra 20% of your life if you a mathematician or engineer by the time saved on not writing 2x and pressing 2x on a calculator :) But the Foundation probably have trademarked that for the n...

Just testin 2B outr

I've got 2xB+ and 1x2B - mm

On my B+ it lights up green but on my 2B it lights up red - that works OK

simplesi

Pi2B? Really? Why use an FLA when a TLA,TLA or OLA will do?

simplesi

Stop amending history alex - thats really mucked up parsing

simplesi

But hows that goign to parse in a sentance?

I've got 2 B+ and 1 Pi2 - messy and inconsistant I feel

simplesi

We have
A
B
(with various Rev sub cats)
B+
A+

What is agreed shorthand for this one
B2
2B
2B+
B+2
.....

This is the important question - forget compatility issues and how fast does the pram travel!

I don't know if anyone prefers the standard forum layout - maybe they do - but I've not met anyone who does if this is a widely held sentiment - how about defaulting it to prosilver ? The reason for this request is so that I don't have to login on a strange manchine (school -other peoples etc) just ...

simplesi

No -prob - thanks for providing updated link

simplesi

And now we know why suppliers were off loading their old B+ stock

I'm not a number person normally but @DougieLawson has just made 10,000 posts

Thanks for all your help

Its a bit of mess at the moment until all these changes get rolled up into one working image but hopefully there will be master image update soon

And what version of Scratch is showing in the title bar?

simplesi

I believe that it depends on what base image is but I have lost the plot with things :) (As yuo can see by inability to fully read a post) :) Anyway - my systems works fine when I maximise the Scratch window This is with new GUI and Scratch 1.4 of 14-Jan-15 Are you on new GUI? Are you on Scratch 14-...

simplesi

Lots of things have changed in past 5 weeks - can you get your system up to date and try again before we start investigating - Scratch itself was updated a few days ago

I'm struggling with this one to see why a controller is needed

I've driven NEoPixel rings without anything else other than 3 wires

I can see need to feed in beefier power supply if I want to drive more of them but not a "controller"

What am I not seeing here?
