…came in the mail yesterday. I’ve loaded up the OS (one of several available Linux derivatives) and booted it up free standing.
\nNext I need to find the driver code I need to get the USB WiFi module I bought for it working with the RedHat derived OS that I loaded.<\/p>\n

The module is from a company called ‘EdiMax’. The source from the provided CD failed to build last night (just a quick make to see what would happen) and a few web searches suggested that the chip vendor site had better drivers available. I’m going to take a look at lunch time and see if I can locate that reference again and download those driver sources.<\/p>\n

The board looks like<\/p>\n

\"R-Pi<\/a><\/p>\n

and the adapter is tiny thumb drive sized<\/p>\n

\"R-Pi<\/p>\n

I just read a few more comments and it looks as if the quick road to getting this up may involved wired ethernet (which I cannot connect to here) and so tonight may be the earliest I can try this out.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping in the long run to get moving on the RepRap build and perhaps use this board as the control computer for the thing. The Arduino handles all of the ‘fast twitch’ work and the R-Pi for WiFi and high level control. That could give a mostly free standing device which could be pretty cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
