According to this video, using the GPIO is just a matter of writing to/reading from sys/class/gpio, and Python wrappers already exist.

I imagine getting the GPU to transmit over HDMI is a lot more complicated, but does anyone know of a tutorial that gets it working (not using Linux or another OS). It would be pretty amazing if the GPU rom could speak HDMI/EDID/DDC and we didn't need a super complicated driver to get it up and running.

That tutorial works with the framebuffer, so it should work with HDMI as well.

So I can just set the resolution to 1280x720 and it should work? I must have a bug, then.

Cool how the GPU has its own driver and handles all the gritty poo poo for us.

The Screen01 sample worked for me on an HDMI monitor. I'd recommend tinkering with config.txt - in particular hdmi_safe.

For those really inclined to play games on their Pi, Minecraft Pi got released today.

Linode's guide is good.

No, they won't - the extra USB ports are where the onboard LEDs used to be.

Anyone know of speech recognition software which is light enough to run on a Pi 3 (512MB of memory)?

Could Vosk work?
