So, I cant seem to edit my original post, but I got the circuit working with the help of an electrical engineer friend, and the circuit is the following: https://www.circuitlab.com/circuit/b5w22b/motor-circuit/ (I hope Im linking to the correct version), and a youtube video will follow as soon as it...

First, I must just apologise for my lack of self-control to stop myself writing a wall of text. I hope this is the correct place to post this, but I am busy attempting to control 2 DC Motors ( http://shop.rabtron.co.za/catalog/motor-p-3157.html ) using my RPi. The datasheets say that the motors requ...

My problem was also fixed.

@coldguy: I had the same problem with my ssh connection dying, but I would still be on IRC. I just figured if we get the same ghosting behaviour the problem would be much similiar.

I have been having similar crash situations (though no scrolling text), so I did another full update (distro and rpi-update), if I havent crashed by tomorrow morning will post back here, but if it does crash Im going to look at adding some extra logging of my own for system states to hopefully work ...

It might be an idea to initially work using some form of Linux From Scratch? Or even just the linux kernel then writing everything from scratch?

Thats quite nice of you to do! For my project I was debating between supporting multiple languages (Python/Ruby/Perl/etc) but was leaning towards Python (as I could use SDL), but with a working Ruby binding to the RPi OpenGL it is much more ideal (I enjoy using Ruby more). Have you done full screen ...

So, I will hopefully be getting my RPi some time soon (have already ordered through RS, they havent shipped it yet though) and starting out my project, I want to know what well priced 3D printing services do you know of? Ideally I would like some form of non-conductive metal (though even conductive ...
