On this page I show my activities using
the RaspberryPi 2B. In my
blog I tell
what I actually do, so check that out frequently. All images are
full-size and can be viewed in full by right-click/view image. All
images (c) me: Huub van Niekerk.
The RaspberryPi 2B is equipped with the PiSerial board to make a
low-level RS232 connection with e.g. minicom possible. Also, a
vncserver is installed to enable remote desktop. This is used to
record videos with
SimpleScreenRecorder.
