Hello and welcome hacker public videos. My name is Mr. X, and welcome to this podcast.
I'd like to start by thanking people at HPR for making this service available to us all.
Usually in valuable service, they go to a great deal of effort to streamline this service
and make it as easy as possible to use. Just pick up a microphone, record something,
and send it in. You must have something interesting to say, I'm sure.
It's really quite easy if I can do it. Anyone can.
Okay, this is part 4 of HBR15, let's take a podcast, and then, I think,
pulling it all together has been a bit hot, as I've done. I was kind of a few notes in what
not, and I think some of the notes didn't make enough a lot of sense, so we thought a bit
randomly, the previous episodes, but hopefully you got a bit of information from it anyway,
but useful information. I don't understand anyway. This part 4 is going to describe
my second ad on board for the Raspberry Pi and how I use it to control the playback of
the podcast and such like, so you'll be going to start off with a bit of a scene now.
So my second Raspberry Pi ad on board was that even more useful,
Pi is controlling this playboard. It's not on board that sits in top of the Raspberry Pi
and connects via the Raspberry Pi's GPite all connectors. It costs about 40 UK pounds.
There are two versions available, version 1 and version 2. Mine is the original version 1.
Both the original version and version 2 have very similar specifications. I think it was
mainly redesigned to work with the newer version of Raspberry Pi. The following information
discussed what the unit is all about, most of it comes from the company's own website.
Specification. Pi phase controlling this play is a plug-and-play device that allows you to use
and control your Raspberry Pi with a keyboard, mouse and monitor. It's safe space and power
by removing the need for a monitor or still providing a simple yet capable interactive user
interface. Let's move this to a bit. Making an ideal for applications such as internet
radio streaming media, XPMC and many more. Pi phase controlling this play is a
supply with easy-to-use software that enables the easy creation of custom bitmap icons,
getting started as quick and simple by using the single-line install script that pools
and all the driver software that is needed to run pre-designed examples.
Maybe you should say first of all that I just bought this thing, I've got no connection with it
and you know but I did find it very useful so it's probably good that they're getting,
but it goes without saying just in case you're thinking of sponsor must hang around with them.
The Pi phase controlling this play features a 16 character by two-line
half a numeric display, which is able to display status information, messages and menus,
flexible control of the Raspberry Pi is enhanced with an IR remote control or the onboard buttons.
So bullet point features, 16 character by two-line half a numeric display,
user defined custom characters, LED display backlight, IR receiver for infrared remote control,
three position navigation switch, five tactile switches for control and menu navigation,
python libraries provided to quickly and easily build menus.
How to install it? With Raspberry installed you can easily install PiFIS control
this play software without gate. To use a PiFIS you need to install the software that runs out.
Install the PiFIS command and display this software with a following command,
just a usual thing, serial space, dash, app, dash gate, space, install, space, python,
three, dash, PiFIS, CAD, it's pretty standard stuff really.
This will ask you a couple of questions to proceed into why.
Now, reboot your Raspberry Pi with pseudo reboot. Yeah, this is pretty straightforward.
At the time there was an excellent case available, which I bought for my PiFIS control and display
board, which includes both the Pi and this board. It was available in a range of colors.
The case was very neat and allows access to all the ports, switches and sensors.
The only minor complaint I had was that they used a tiny piece of plastic that sat directly above
the Pi's LEDs, and pressed into small holes in the case, or at least that's what it was supposed
to do. The piece of plastic was to transfer the light from the LEDs up to the holes in the case,
so you could see what the Pi's LEDs were doing. I actually had to blue tack the piece of plastic
and placed to hold as very fiddly, but the plastic. Blue tack is like a plastic scene and it's
going to stick you stuff. You can hold it to people up where they're just in case you know or come
across blue tack. I'm sure there's other minor factors to make it just as I said not.
After something, the plastic fell inside the case and now rattles about. If I squint through
the holes, I can still see the onboard LEDs, and I can see what the Pi's doing.
And I can't be bothered taking the case to bits, so it remains rattling about in the case.
This is a very minor criticism, as a case designed in those options were limited. It's not
clear to me if the case is still available, as I couldn't find it with a quick Google search.
The case is designed to lie flat with a screen pointing upwards, and there's only a viewable
when viewed from above. This was not ideal for my purpose, as I wanted to be able to see the screen
from across the room. I was luckily given a tablet stand made by anchor for my Nexus 7.
I ended up not using the stand much, and it was just lying about not being used.
This time I'd be the perfect, this turned out to be perfect for holding the case at 45 degree
angle, making it easy to see at a distance. I'll close some pictures when I finally get around
to posting this podcast, so you can see what the case has done, both look like.
Okay, that's about it for this podcast. I'll keep it nice and short. I hope you enjoyed it.
Next, I'm on the screen with a thumb with a Pi face control and display, I don't bored.
And how I use it to control the playback of my podcast. Remember, as I said earlier,
if you have an interesting story or passion, when it should weather us to us, there's a fast community
if you're out there. Give your bums and give us a show. I'm sure we'd find it interesting.
Finally, if you want to contact me, I can be contacted at MrX at hpraggommail.com.

Also thank you for watching.
