I have a raspberry pi w/ NoIR camera and a few acessories coming in the mail tomorrow. My main project is to see if the camera is sensitive enough to IR to be rigged into a night vision scope with 808nm laser illumination, if not I have other ideas for it.

Do any of you guys have experience with the raspberry pi and lunix? I bought a "Rasspberry Pi for Dummies" book and that'll get me started. I'm just seeing of anyone has any recommendations on good pi or linux resources. I have a good understanding of circuits but this will be my first time working with linux.

Thanks.

rPi's are super fun and useful! I used one to make a camera that snaps photos out the window of my parent's cabin and uploads it to a webserver continuously. Project source is available: https://github.com/Grix/kvamskogencam. As for resources, I don't really know of any specific ones, I just usually google it when I have a question, there are tons of misc. info on linux and rpis available on the web

I've got one. I've set up 3 different SD cards for it, one with Linux, one with XBMC, and one with an game system emulator. Its a fun little board, and decently powerful in terms of computational capability.

Its pretty easy to use too. Lots of good tutorials out there to help you.

I have one and I will be making a portable design with a custom 18650 battery pack with a step-up 5v converter :)

I need to get a small screen with decent resolution. Wonder where....

Search Ebay for "car LCD". You'll get a lot of results for not-so-good 640X320 displays, but if you search hard enough you can find some "HD" ones that are pretty decent.
