I2C Library

I2C Library   https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/i2c-library/ WiringPi includes a library which can make it easier to use the Raspberry Pi’s on-board I2C interface. Not all systems have the I2C development libraries and headers installed, and when you buildwiringPi, it detects this at build time. If you are using these helper functions and you get link errors, it means that wiringPi is not installed with the I2C helper functions. You need to install the I2C development libraries and re-build. Under Raspbian: sudo apt-get install libi2c-dev then

Raspberry Pi + Dropbox Sync

http://cttoronto.com/03/16/2013/raspberry-pi-dropbox-sync/ March 16, 2013 by Marc Pelland For Pi Day, we decided that it would be fun if we built a system that would auto-post photos from the Raspberry Pi to our Facebook and Twitter accounts.  We knew that it would be easier to just run all of it from the computer that was running the game, but this seemed like a good opportunity to learn something about the Raspberry Pi.  As a result, we setup a system that would save images from the webcams in Flash to
