[Acid Trip]

Never heard of it but I think I'll be buying one. Looks very interesting.

[Muddy]

[redred]

i'm looking to get similar to this set up

with the wireless keypad ,i know someone that bundles them and sells them so just trying to find out the full spec he deals with

[Acid Trip]

How much does that bundle cost?

[redred]

on ebay £105 for all that ,which isn't to far off getting all the kit and doing it yourself

whats your plan with it?

Like?

Someone wrote code to make a mixed drink dispenser out of it. Multiple bottles perfectly mixing a handful of drinks. Some are also using it for a home media PC for movies etc. Just the basic kit is dirt cheap.

I dont know yet, I was thinking about getting one mainly so my son could fuck with it. If I see some cool applications I may give one a shot. Its just a cool toy for the price.

[redred]

That's what i'm thinking for the price it seems a neat little gadget to mess about with and learn

[redred]

well it's been ordered so should be able to grab it friday,the other half is going out friday evening so i will have time for a play

You can do that with a basic smart relay..

Voltage supply and inputs in the available in versions: 24 V and 100 – 240 V AC, 12 V and 24 V DC.
8 of the inputs are digital inputs.
2 analog inputs: 0 - 10 V (0 – 1023 bit resolution), in the versions 12 V, 24 V DC and 24 V AC.
4 relay outputs: 8 A (10 A UL) or 4 transistor outputs: 24 V DC/0.5 A per output.
128 lines of logic with 3 contacts and 1 series coil.

$100 bucks, open the box and go.

[Muddy]

I get it though... The $25.00 price grabbed my attention as well.. As a learning tool It's a neat concept..

i picked up the same package with wireless keypad etc for £80 so i'm happy

[Muddy]

you got me.. :d

[FBD]

:tup:

pretty sure I saw an HDMI out in the OP


...yup, opposite side from the av out

[redred]

:facepalm: :lol: you know i was joking with muddy about the basic smart relay don't you

[FBD]

:lol: nah, I just noticed you ask if it had hdmi, I was only half paying attention there :mrgreen:

[redred]

I've stated this elsewhere, but if you're gonna buy one of these things, then spend the $35 for the 512MB model B rev2. It has more resources on it. Don't expect to be doing anything really fast with it.

[Griffin]

I'll take one with some cool whip please

thats the one i now have ,the model A just isn't worth having when the B is a few £'s more

Oh, this is what I'll be doing with it :dance:

[redred]

I got bored with mine within 2 months and sold it on :lol:

[PorkChopSandwiches]

But now its actually useful :lol:

[redred]

You can get all those retro games on the net :lol:

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Yeah, I guess I can just plug a controller into my pc instead

[redred]

:lol:

[PorkChopSandwiches]

But that takes the fun out of building it

[redred]
