You can start by learning Python!

Yup, you can get a headphone jack to twin RCA cable to connect those up too, should also be a couple of bucks.tlchost wrote:Thanks...I have the yellow and two other plugs, which I believe are audio.JohnMurga wrote: What the PI has : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video
Guess I'll get on the waiting list and watch the progress here.
I am pleased that you broached the subject of the burning. The next time you are chatting with the dali lama whisper quite firmly in his ear 'The burning, it has got to stop.'( attached)Lobster wrote:

Not all of them - there's a bog std. one for a couple of quid in the CPC catalogue if you've got time to search it out. If you're desperate, I can look up the code from past orders and PM it.Last time I checked HDMI to VGA adapters cost more than a PI
some of you have probably seen the snort inducing video for doubters and detractors . . .Mad doesn't even *start* to address what it's like here at the moment. Absolutely can't believe the interest. We've got the Chinese State Broadcasting "news" people visiting this morning. Mental.

Any care to gamble a few quid to test one of these with an XBox or DVD player with HDMI out, and report back?John M wrote:Cable adapters won't work because of the analogue/digital mismatch.
