Just spent the last 8 hours doing this:

Most of the time was spent building the daughterboard from scratch (soldering every bloody thing), and then building the little chassis with wheels.
With a wireless 802.11n dongle, and a wireless keyboard, I can use VNC to remote into the raspberry pi while it's being powered by a portable battery pack, and use the wireless keyboard to drive it around

Spent an hour figuring out which four of the 6 pins drive the motors forwards and backwards. Surprisingly I actually feel like I've achieved something :laugh:

I feel for you bro. I've had an MSI X99 Gaming 9, 5930k, 16Gb memory and a 512 M2. drive in my basket 12 times now. My X79 days are coming to a close.

I think this is going to be a bit of a struggle - if anything it will most likely be a last minute thing as I've bugged him again today and he says he cant find anyone to cover but "Don't panic, there's still time" so he says.....

Better not to make the bed and get the room ready just yet.

No worries, will keep the days free anyway as the partner is liable to be on a girls night out anyway!

Nothing better than coming home to a guy who is totally wasted with one (or some) of his friends

@RCoon

Something you'd like??

FreedomEclipse · Feb 16, 2015

Looking for a CPU+board for a friend of a friends busted PC. Can be AMD or Intel and 2 or 3 generations old - it dont matter, All i need are parts that can run games like Guildwars 2 and maybe some other stuff so no bleeding edge required. Doesnt have to overclock like a wet dream either as i wont be doing any sort of tweaking once the system is set up.

PM me with what you got and price.

I probably still have my 4GB 1333mhz single stick of GSkill Ripjaws RAM if you get desperate for parts.

I'm finding it hard to find time to use my PC for something more than typing and research now days!

I might even have a P35 and a Q6600 lying around...

I have a lovely 5000 word assignment due monday, so i'll likely not have time, thank you for the offer though!

Its alright - Come catch the train with me, I'll bring my laptop, we can get it hammered out on the way there and back. 2 minds are better than one, and if you get Rcoon drunk enough im sure he will put his expertise as a writer to good use.... Just dont tell your tutor that a couple of alcoholics helped you with your assignment. But if you make the grade then you can break it to them that it was all an elaborate ruse and that Jesus was black before running off laughing maniacally

FreedomEclipse · Feb 17, 2015

@RCoon

Not sure if ive linked or mentioned this band already??

~~their most recent album seems to be an instrumental but their previous releases seem to be more melodeath metal with vocals and such, Its not bad for some atmospheric (or epic) instrumental metal.~~

::EDIT::

actually, scratch that, It seems there is vocals on this album.... I thought it was all instrumental lol

FreedomEclipse · Feb 22, 2015

How much of a twat do you have to be to do this?

I honestly cannot fanthom the kind of idiotic stupidity that goes though the minds of these kids to make them jump through skylights

Lol, 2AM?

Also kinda past the semi-folk metal genre, after listening to Korpiklaani for the better part of my teens I never bothered with much else.
