Walrus 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿


A few days ago, some time after I had told people these Pi's were not running too hot, I burnt my hand (slightly) on one of the ethernet sockets. OK, it's all running far too hot...

I have obtained some more open cluster case parts, with nice little fans, and I shall be rebuilding it all. I think there will still be to hold it all together, and it really should have as well....

Offers on four Lego compatible Pi3 cases, anyone?

More soon!


Various stages...

Here's the current state of the cluster. The stylish red layer is called "I ran out of black plates".

Tomorrow, software...


The next stage of this is the software. I'll be repeating the original setup from scratch, because one of the Pis was running the wrong OS.

I bought Ashwin Pajankar's eBook on the subject a while back, but my copy got corrupted somehow. Fortunately, I found a copy online, at usermanual.wiki/Document/Ashwi

@Walrus Better take care of those, apparently they are still hard to find, LOL.
