Raspberry PI has arrived

Frist i have to say „it´s a crazy small piece of electronic foo“ and it has a lot of options and functions, for example GPIO.

After flashing the archlinuxarm distribution on a 4gb SD card. I did a system update and installed some packages too.


1.) pacman-key --init
2.) pacman -Syu
3.) pacman -S python python2-pip
4.) pip2 install RPi.GPIO


Now you should be able to run the first simple GPIO test script. I tried this one from raspberrypi-spy.co.uk

In my test i used a 2×16 LCD module with a HD44780 Controller.

In my next project i will do some cool things with GPIO, maybe a little newsfeed display (with a 4×20 LCD module)….or a GPIO/RaspberryPI messenger would be nice too, like sms from raspberryPI to another one.
