How to install Raspbian on Raspberry Pi

Hi all

    Recently i purchased a raspberry pi from Kits and spares. I am giving the link here
    http://shopping.kitsnspares.com/bon1/productdescription.asp?id=482662

    Installation instruction.

1)Select a memory card with  4 GB. Select 8GB or 16GB or  32GB will be good if you plan to do some heavy work on Raspberry Pi. Me selected the following sd card from sandisk. Here is the link

Its a 32GB ,class 10 memory card from SanDisk

2)Select a good powersupply:  Raspberry Pi requires a charger with a rating 5V 500ma-1A adapter for  normal operation. But if you want to interface more device into Rpi, either select a good charger with 5V,2A or puchase a powered usb hub.

How to open and close a process from a python script

Hi guys

     I am giving some idea about  how we can start and stop a process using a python script. This will be useful when we need to start a process that is outside the script

I am running two python scripts. One is master script, this script will start the slave script. Slave script will execute continuously upto 5 sec and it will terminated by the master script

Master script

 #!/usr/bin/python  
 import time  
 import subprocess  
 #starting process python while.py  
 proc = subprocess.Popen(["python","while.py"],shell=False)  
 #5 sec delay  
 time.sleep(5)  
 #killing process  
 subprocess.call(["kill","-9","%d" % proc.pid])  
 #waiting for killing  
 proc.wait()  
 print 'poll = ',proc.poll()  


Slave script


 #!/usr/bin/python  
 while 1:  
      print "hello"  


Output
--------

It will print hello upto 5 seconds after that it will stop and show this message

Speech Recognition on arduino

Hi 

  I have seen a library for doing speech recognition on arduino. Check the following link for seeing more information.

Features

  1. Letter based recognition
  2. Small memory footprint
  3. Arduino Compatible
  4. No training required
  5. Fixed point arithmetic
  6. 30% - 40% accuracy if based on phonemes, up to 80% if based on words.
  7. Plugs directly into an analogRead() port
