Note that the pi 3 memory card slot is NOT sprung. 

Stick it in: pull it out.

You will need some Dremel-time to use most pi 2 cases.

Besides wifi, I am interested in the built-in short range BT
capability.
Do you know if there are projects out there that use a mobile phone
(with BT) as user identification mean, and then say, open the local wifi
AP, or sync some user directory or preferences local to the Pi?

In short, something where BT would be used for profiling the systems
behaviour.

Completely agree, The WiFi behaves oddly as well, mine dosent see my
access points (Dual band x 2 SSID's, havent worked out why yet) but does
see's SSID of people across the road (in a plastic case) in a metal case
sees none.

You can attach a external aerial but you have to solder on an SMT U.fl
connector (They're really really small !) to do this really.

The cost of the Pi3 is maybe the only reason to get it, I got mine for
the same price as a Pi2 otherwise I wouldn't have bothered TBH

Re: [slim] raspberry pi 3b

2016-03-14 Thread DJanGo

After my RPi3 is delivered i am pretty sure, its too oversized for a
simple Player.

Cause the WIFI Antenna is now on the Board and not sticking outside on a
USB "nice" Cases out of Aluminium arent the best choice if the router is
far away. In fact same case same place rpi2 no prob, rpi 3 no connection
(in the case)

TbH: Its much oversized as a simple Audio player i dont think there is a
market for this right now.
As a Server it might be a better starting point as the Rpi2.

Please dont missunderstood me, but using a oversized Rpi with an
undersized PSU keeping in mind of "runs good if it never will be
stressed out "seems a bit strange to me.
A copyjob and a apt-get upgrade at the same time and hopefully the
system if working again after that - is that kind of russian rulette
that most of the typical "users" never wanna try or solve this without
shouting agains rpi, lms, squeezelite.

Thats kinda what I was saying, runing openelec on a Pi3 Plus PCP on a
Pi2 draw less than 1.2A.

I never see a low volatage indication on either unit.

According to Rpi org these two will draw around 0.91 A (assuming both
decoding H.264 Video)

https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#powerReqs
A 1.2 A PSU delivers max. 1.2A. - If you need 1.2A all the Time you need
a Bigger PSU.
Its the same with Speakers you never drive them with max power unless
you want to crash something.

The 'official'
(http://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-power-supplies/products/official-raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply?variant=3748998148)
PSU for the Rpi3 delivers 2.5A.

You're very likely both correct. Pi3 can run with a lower A rating, as
long as you don't push it to max CPU load, don't connect too many
peripherals etc ... Then you're at risk of random behavior if the USB
supply is overloaded  (chip's behavior is undeterministic when V drops
below max ratings, especially for small periods - some have use that for
interesting power attack)
