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....
 
We'll I'm glad you guys managed to make good projects out of them. I'll report back if my project works out.

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.
