After several shameful weeks of having it sit on a bookshelf, Gizmag recently decided it was time to embark upon not one but two very ambitious projects for its Raspberry Pi: turning it on, and building a LEGO case for it. Needless to say, in both cases we turned to the worldwide web for fast, easy answers.I say "turning it on," but considering that's as simple as connecting a power adapter (not included), we thought we'd go one better and get the thing properly up and running. This is all fairly straightforward if you follow the Raspberry Pi Foundation's quick start guide.The only deviation we'd recommend concerns installation of Raspian operating system (very probably the first OS you'll want to install, especially if you don't know what OS to install).
Instead of messing around with img files and disk imager software, BerryBoot is a bootloader than can be downloaded, unzipped, and saved straight to your SD card (effectively the Pi's hard disk). Now, so long as you are able to connect your Pi to a network, BerryBoot will handle the installation of Raspian (or other OS's for that matter) for you. Bosh.Much more interesting, of course, was the LEGO case. Rather than designing our own, we turned to the Raspberry Foundation-recommended Raspberry Pi Case, designed by the youthful and enigmatic Biz. This ships as a set from the Daily Brick, purveyors of specialist LEGO sets.This LEGO set is excellently functional, holding the Pi firmly in place while granting access to its various ports and slots. A removable lid lets you get at the Pi, though if you want to remove it, partial dissembling is necessary. A transparent brick grants display of the Pi's LED indicators, which is great.If you do build it, do follow the photo guide written by the designers, and not the electronic instructions provided by Daily Brick.
That way, when you've finished, your Pi will be inside the case, not outside of it. Overall, the LEGO set is great for those in need of a Pi case who are either short of time, imagination or both, though really the best way to live up to the example set by Biz would be to design another case of your own – just like we didn't.Really, that's about all the procrastination we can justify. It's time to put our Raspberry Pi properly through its paces. Your ideas are most welcome.Update: Thanks to readers that pointed out the BerryBoot link was incorrect. This is now fixed.Luka Birsa (2009) Delay tolerant networks and Prophet routing protocol. Download (1307Kb) Abstract Due to the ubiquitous network connectivity in the modern developed world it is easy to miss the need for networks that would enable communications in environments where network infrastructure is not present. Delay and disruption tolerant networks (DTN) enable communication in such environments as they do not need direct connectivity between nodes that intend to communicate.
This diploma presents an overview of an implementation that is intended to show how delay and disruption tolerant networks work; more specifically – it shows how PRoPHET routing protocol could be used on Lego MindStorms robots to demonstrate DTN networks in practice. PRoPHET routing protocol uses the history of encounters amongst network nodes to decide where it should forward the bundles of data. A good way to demonstrate the protocol mechanics is by using Lego MindStorms RCX robots, which are programmed and built in such a way to fulfill the communication and mobility needs. The diploma explores the reasons for existence of the DTN networks and it analyzes problems that are present in the field of DTN routing algorithms. The final implementation consists of a small mobile node and a demonstration platform that can be used to demonstrate the PRoPHET protocol mechanics in real time or analyze it with the use of analysis and logging tools. The results show that it is possible to demonstrate how a DTN network works using the LEGO MindStorms and at the same time uncover some of the issues faced when a DTN network implementation chooses to use the PRoPHET routing protocol.
Some of the final conclusions and findings were the basis for further PRoPHET development as a part of the Sami Network Connectivity project. This development resulted in the first DTN network running PRoPHET protocol intended for use by the inhabitants of northern Sweden.
