| Message-ID | <digfcbFlu7sU3@mid.individual.net> |
Musing on the fact that I have 3 * Pi but not 3 * spare monitors. Leaving aside the need to switch keyboard (and mouse) does anyone have a recommendation for an HDMI switch with, for example, 3 in and 1 out (to TV/ monitor)? Hmm...having raised the question, are there USB switches to flip keyboard/ mouse between systems? Cheers Dave R -- Windows 8.1 on PCSpecialist box

I am using a Lindy HDMI KVM Switch Classic, USB 2.0 with Audio,
4 port.
This comes with all cables and a remote to switch between systems.

HDMI switching only is very cheap in comparison. I am assuming that KVM is Keyboard Video Mouse - I think I may just need a USB switch. So: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Printer-Switch-Selector-Adapter-Connnector/dp/ B00GWF3LNK/ref=cm_wl_huc_item for a 4 port USB switch (comments say it is used for switching between PCs). http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0136NHLEA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl? _encoding=UTF8&colid=1UOETQ9CU282F&coliid=I1MLCR87MF66JV&psc=1 for a 5 port HDMI switch. Total £8.35 UKP + £13.99 UKP = £22.24 UKP. That looks quite reasonable. Cheers Dave R -- Windows 8.1 on PCSpecialist box

I have one of these mega cheap ones. http://www.dx.com/p/mini-4-port-1080p-hdmi-switch-3-in-1-out-113720 It has problems when the devices do not provide enough power to power it. Sadly I do not have a RPi connected to it, so I cannot comment on how good it works with a RPi. On the other hand, for under 5 USD including shipping, it is maybe worth trying.

Presumably you already have a mouse/keyboard/monitor and they are attached to the computer that you used to write the post I'm replying to, and that its attached to your LAN. If so, there's no reason you can't talk to your RPIs by using its kbd/mouse/screen once you've connected them to your LAN. Use Cat 5 cable and a hub if they're model B RPIs (most ADSL routers have at least one RJ45 ethernet socket), or via USB wifi dongles if your LAN is wireless. Since most ADSL modems have a DHCP server built in and model B RPIs can connect to a DHCP server straight out of the box, all you need to do if you're using model Bs is to set up your router to recognise the RPIs, and assign an IP address and hostname to each. If you're running Linux on your main computer, it already has all the software it needs: you can just use SSH to login to an RPi and start using it. If you configure SSH for X11 forwarding, then running a graphical program on the RPi will cause it to display on your computer's screen and accept input from your keyboard and mouse. If you're running Windows, you'll need to download and install PuTTY, which is a package that provides ssh terminal and file transfer facilities for Windows. If you want a graphical desktop, you'll also need a Windows X-term server. They're around and free to download. Try Cygwin/X, XWinLogon or VcXsrv. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

Just an additional note for those who wish to use an MS Windows machine as the remote desktop. If you install xrdp on your RPIs you can use Microsoft's standard remote desktop application to talk to them. "sudo apt-get install xrdp" on the pi is all that is needed although, as you suggest, installing PuTTY on the Windows machine will avoid the need for ever plugging in a mouse, keyboard or monitor to your pi.

A bit sluggish, but very usable. I did install TightVNC on a Pi B, and could manage it from Windows using TightVNC Viewer. However I couldn't get it to close down properly, or reboot, using TightVNC from Windows. Also, I would like to be able to drive my 3 Pis directly when the need arises. One is more or less dedicated as a VPN server so I don't want to mess about with it too much. Oh, and TightVNC seems to work fine with Windows systems, and can be very useful if I'm too idle to navigate stairs. Haven't pranked other users by moving their mouse pointer yet, though.

By the time carriage, VAT, duty, & handling were added, two $80 items from LA cost me £160. > It might also hit import duty (not sure what the limit is). Section 2.3 of https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notice-143-a-guide-for-international-post-users/notice-143-a-guide-for-international-post-users Mustn't also forget the handling charge for the carrier collecting the VAT and/or duty. This varies from nothing, to £6, or even £13 IME with different carriers. Sometimes we hope that goods sent to us are (mis-)declared as a gift (2.4) but be aware that the lies sellers put on customs declarations are the responsibility of the consignee. T
