Last chance for The MagPi Issues 1-30

Our Kickstarter http://kck.st/1upaUSf to get printed copies of The MagPi issues 1-30 will be over in a few days and these issues won't be printed again. We've kept the price for Volume 3 as low as we can and have heavily discounted Volumes 1 and 2.

The Kickstarter is almost 300% funded so our ...

Re: Epiphany Disappointment

That's very odd. I've been watching YouTube, full screen 1920x1080 and no problems whatsoever with Epiphany.

In the preferences do you have "Allow advertisements" checked? It should be.

My memory split is the default 128GB... though I do use the RP2 overclock option.

Re: Reading MagPi on a Kindle

Issue 12 is coming very soon and we will be testing the mag on various devices to ensure we dont get a repeat of the issue 11 problems.

If you are having problems with the current download of issue 11, please let us know where you downloaded and what pages are causing problems.

Re: Nokia Pi LCD + Switch Shield board

Hi Texy

Mine is different. The pinout is:

1 - GND
2 - VCC
3 - CLK
4 - DIN
5 - D/C
6 - CS
7 - RST
8 - LED

Do you have an equivalent PCB for this layout?

Thanks

Where does RasPi get its power from?

I use a (genuine) Apple iPhone PSU to power my RasPi. This is rated at 1A. I recently got a powered 4 port USB hub which has a 2A PSU. But I was shocked to discover that with the Apple PSU disconnected, the RasPi powered up as soon as I plugged in the USB cable from the hub.

My question is if I ...
