Rasperian/Debian apt, scripting, learning, questions - Raspberry Pi Forums

-

i'm going learn raspberian on pi , debian running on vps's (x86).
debian's minimalism.
have hacked around in various linux distros few times couldn't install on laptop because of lack of display-port driver.

apt packages:
understanding can run software has been compiled arm.
software i'll install apt package manager using source list of arm compiled binaries.
hosts these binaries? debian? or raspberrypi.org?
happens when want run linux software not compiled arm.
if obtain source can compile run on arm?
can read more availability of linux software pi, , getting things run on it?

works in debian apply raspberian?
example if guide setting dns/dhcp/lighttpd server/whatever work same on pi?

scripting/coding:
i'd scripting language debian. friend told me rbpi comes native python scripting support.
should learn reasonable amount of python. know php.
there php scripting options? possible write , run php scripts on pi, or compile them native code?
i'm familiar c. options coding in c in linux? nice ides , libraries? way started?

learning debian , linux in general:
believe best way learn doing.
there crash course ebook linux/raspberian/debian dummies?

displayport:
unpleasant trying displayport monitor work on ubuntu 12.04/12.10.

...
has had luck on raspberian 1 of these?
they're low power (10 watts 2a @ 5v) , pretty awesome

so excited
rbpi model b on way.

thank creating wonderful device , community!

do let know if screen works 10watts @ 5 volts more usb specs allow (500mw @ 5 v). you'll want consider powered hub provides lots of power.

again, let know how works. i'm intrigued.

ATmega2560-Arduino Pin Mapping

hi community, in last days working on project using arduino mega 2560. on planning pin using found bugs in atmega2560-arduino pin mapping . if right there labels (such pwm) in 'mapped pin name' @ wrong row ( mixed pin numbers right one...) in attachment openoffice calc , pdf file corrected table. ( hope ;-) ) i post here tab separated table : code: [select] arduino mega 2560 pin mapping table atmega 2560 pin out arduino mega function nr name function function function mapped pin name function function datasheet 1 pg5 oc0b digital pin 04 pwm 2 pe0 rxd0 pcint8 digital pin 00 rx0 (usart0 receive pin, programming data input or pin change interrupt 8) 3 pe1 txd0 digital pin 01 tx0 (usart0 transmit pin or programming data output) 4 pe2 xck0 ain0 (usart0 external clock  input/output) 5 pe3 oc3a ain1 digital pin 05 pwm 6 pe4 ...

Crossfader Arduino Tutorial

hello i'm super newb please don't bash me much. i'm using led's , i've connected them correctly (finally) , wondering why program here ( http://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/colorcrossfader ) doesn't work? say's haven't declared crossfade. read directions on top , said crossfade needs used list order of colors. isn't declared in main part (void loop() )? or need declared before? nevermind void on bottom , needed before voidloop. lol anyways playing rgb led's wondering if has specific way of making them fade in , out different colors? (brightness , color mixing) code: [select] /* * code cross-fading 3 leds, red, green , blue (rgb) * create fades, need 2 things: *  1. describe colors want displayed *  2. list order want them fade in * * describing color: * color array of 3 percentages, 0-100, *  controlling red, green , blue leds * * red red led @ full, blue , green off *   int red = { 100, 0, 0 } * dim white 3 l...
