“I've bought a few of these for media centres for friends. It has everything you need. Previously I'd buy the components separately and had issues with power, the quality of the SD card and so on. With these kits I've had no issues.”
“I have used a hack magazine idea and connected the pi to my laptop. I use VNC and my iPad to tether so I can use the laptop mouse pad and keypad. I do not have a router so Use the hotspot tethering, sometimes I use my phone to.
I have found this way better than cups to load a printer. VNC allows transfer of files between compatible software packages in this case office libre. I can print off the laptop once file is transferred from pi. I have read the problems with cups and setting up printers so was pleased with VNC.
Well done pi real intelligence in use. Long may you rule.”
