Looks like I will be treated to a Pi for Father's Day.
Leaving aside that this is a modern festival promoted by, IIRC, Clinton Cards or similar this could be a nice 'surprise'.
So - shopping list check, please.
Firstly, I see them listed in the CPC catalogue - is there a better source?
Secondly, buy an SDHC card with the OS on, or buy separate and download (I can handle downloading OS and putting onto media).
Now the shopping list:
Model B (does anyone buy Model A?) £28.07 inc VAT
802.11N WiFi dongle Element 14 £12.00 inc VATor
802.11N WiFi dongle Dynamode £7.04 inc VATPSU - re-reading the thread already posted, but is the only power input a USB socket?
I do have, for instance, a charger for my Samsung Galaxy S3 which is rated at 1A at 5V, and also a charger for my Kindle. Might one of these do?
Case - Pi VESA plate to mount on back of TV? £15.99 inc VAT
How big/how fast should the SDHC card be? Any point in going for 32Gb for instance?
Need an HDMI lead, but I need to look in the goody bag to see if I already have one. Is one end a small HDMI plug, or are both full sized?
I will firm up the list, but have to run now.
Any advice very welcome.
Cheers
