Above is the image projected from the Pi, on the default login screen. Distance from the projector is approx 10 feet.

State of the art projector mount, fashioned from several cable ties. HDMI cable is plugged into the right hand side of the projector.

Unfortunately the projector cannot handle audio on the HDMI connector, the 3.5mm headphone jack on the projector is for splitting audio out of the iDevice connection only, and does not make the HDMI audio stream available.

RasPi Terminal Customisations


As seen in the previous post, the SSH terminal of my Pi gives some useful stats. This is done using GNU Screen, with a custom config file.

This file is .screenrc in your user’s home folder. My personal code is posted below:



~/.screenrc
startup_message off
backtick 1 30 30 $HOME/bin/disk.sh
backtick 2 30 30 $HOME/bin/mem.sh
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{gk}[ %{G}%H %{g}][Disk: %1` RAM: %2`M][%= %{wk}%?%-Lw%?%{=b kR}(%{W}%n*%f %t%?(%u)%?%{=b kR})%{= kw}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}][%{Y}%l%{g}]%{=b C}[ %m/%d %c ]%{W}'
nonblock 1
defnonblock 1

I have uploaded the pair of scripts for the backticks, and they can be found here:

mem.sh
disk.sh

More to come once my new 16GB Class 10 SD Card arrives!
