  • Raspberry Pi – Initial Thoughts

    Thanks To Ada Fruit  I picked up a first version Raspberry Pi B+.   The experience brings me back to building my first computer and modifying it.

    I picked up an B+ Kit from Ada Fruit (based on the fact they have awesome tutorials).  I also picked up a Motor Controller, a Bread Board to hook up peripherals, and a Touch Screen Display.  The touch screen display wasn’t actually compatible with the kit I purchased.  Lesson learned – check the Male and Female connectors for the Displays and PIN (IN/OUT) counts.

    I laid out all the components on the bubble wrap, and I started assembling the components into one computer. The experience was rather like assembling a jigsaw puzzle.

    I used the 4G microSD card that came with the B+ kit.  I used it to immediately configure Debian and setup SSH. I got it on the wireless using the USB dongle for wireless, and I ran the updates for aptitude update and aptitude full-upgrade.  It’s nice that it persists all these changes.

    Now, that I am on the wireless, I can unplug the Raspberry Pi from the monitor, and connect to it via SSH.  It’s fantastic stuff. I am now going to work on my motor controller.

  • Setting up Db2 JDBC Access

    I have been working IBM Integration Broker 10.0.0.4. I found it hard to find concise documentation on setting up/creating a new provider
