DVB + DVD, possible ? - Raspberry Pi Forums

-

hi all,

i'm new here on forum, hi :)
i'm quite new rpi , i'm considering many call media center, that's why placed post here, feel free move if it's incorrect.

it's low power consumption , composite video output rpi2 seems nice computer connect tv, i'd it:
- attach usb-dvd drive (regular dvd, no blu-ray or hd-dvd) play dvd's
- attach kind of storage recordings (sd television recordings, no hd)
- attach 1 or 2 usb dvb-c receivers live-viewing , recording storage (again, sd television only)
since there many devices need power i'm planning use powered usb hub(s) provide that.
software gnu/linux based, i've seen openelec , think it's starting point.

questions are:
think rpi2 able handle ?
have suggestion dvb-c receiver(s) ? support dvb-t , analog nice have, dvb-c must have.
1 of concerns amount of data going through usb bus, 4 usb connectors on rpi2 connected same bus or 2 or more individual busses ?

in advance of insights provided.

the rpi's processor has single usb port. on rpi2 connected second chip contains 5 port hub. 4 of ports go external usb sockets. 5th has usb ethernet converter connected lan socket.

factor of usb stack in processor performed in software rather more usual hardware implementation.

having said that, rpi2 can want if not simultaneously.

use proper search engine find relevant posts here. "search" button on forum close useless.

dear all, working on image processing using raspberry pi, have installed intex usb web camera on raspberry pi. have used basic python script of image processing https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspb ... first.html required libraries installed on raspberry pi. script code: import imgproc imgproc import * # open webcam take pictures camera = camera(160, 120) # open viewer window display images viewer = viewer(160, 120, "the first step") # take picture camera img = camera.grabimage() # display image in viewer viewer.displayimage(img) # iterate on each pixel in image x in range(0, img.width): for y in range(0, img.height): # value @ xth column , yth row, place intensities variables red, green, blue = img[x, y] # test find colour dominant if red > green , red > blue: # red dominant, set pixel red img[x, y] = 255, 0, 0 elif green > red , green > blue: img[x, y] = 0, 255, 0 else: # if red or gr...

i have laptop dead motherboard . can remove components laptop , in anyway possible connect raspberry pi inbuilt display , keyboard on laptop ? (and touchpad if possible). (i figured remove components inside , fix pie inside , use extended usb cable , connect available usb ports respective holes in laptop skeleton, same headphone out ) . i'm noob when comes pi . on topic appreciated if screen lvds type may possible use screen installing converter board. this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/hdmi-dvi-vga-dr ... 3027&rt=nc need model number of screen , ask seller if work. or search ebay using brand , model number. assuming screen in working order..... back-light not burnt out etc.. other devices...... can used if have usb interface not part of motherboard. have make connector. raspberrypi

Smoothing Capacitor value?

hi everyone! i have question "smoothing capacitors". have 5v arduino project have 6 individual 5v components attached it. since need these running @ different times, wanted take similar approach of nick gammon's in helpful example (http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=12106) , use few mosfets switch these little guys on & off individually (instead of regular arduino pins), while minimizing potential power surges affect microcontroller and/or components themselves. these components 5v, , have maximum draw of ~170ma when powered on @ same time. so, if used 6 different mosfet switches turn switch +5v power line on each component directed via arduino uno, wondering: 1. still use 1 capacitor (like nick did in example)? 2. capacitor of 100uf work, or should use bigger? my plan first test circuit mosfets & capacitor(s) using usb, , later on, moving project battery power. thanks in advance ideas & suggestions! quote these little guys what ...
