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.
