Bluetooth worked fine on Raspian for me and under Ubuntu Mate it crashed. But I read later that the bluetooth had been updated with some fixes. Probably OK now.
I am thinking of trying to setup a Beowulf cluster with the now redundant Pi2's to play with. I've seen a few tutorials on the web. I am not sure if I can make it do anything useful though. What we need is a BOINC client that can run on a cluster and get the compute nodes to run the tasks.
I typed up what I did to get my Pi Beowulf cluster going. It can be found here
I've been thinking about getting a domain that hosts some instructions and also tracks stats at a more detailed level (is there an API for BOINC stats, or will it all be screen scraping?).
What would you folks think for a URL? peinsteinathome.org ? :)
There is This. It has links on the top right that goes into details. Basically the projects provide a data file in XML that you download. You'd need to merge them for each project.
Any more thought on doing this? I'd love to help putting this together. I've got a domain up and running with square space if you want a free place to put it. :P
Have any of us run his tests against our cooling solutions to compare our numbers with his. I have not. I would be curious to see his numbers after a one hour run of 4 E@H WUs.
I was thinking that the LEDs could blink the activity LED in morse code to identify which PI is which.
0 is -----
1 is .----
2 is ..---
and so on.
As far as the site and whatnot, the only thing I have on the docket is making a video that talks about the simple setup of a Pi Stack for E@H. It's the ONLY good thing about not having gotten the rest of my Pi 3 nodes online - I have plenty of props to do this! Besides, I never heard any other suggestions for the domain :)
Only other news is that I purchased a new Pi 2 this weekend to replace the one I have that won't run at 1GHz. Now I just have to figure out which one that is, hence my desire to have the blinky LEDs.
That's one heck of a RAC for your Gavitational Wave Pi! 2000 points for 5-6 days of crunching vs <500!
When are us mere mortals going to be allowed to partake on the Pi!
Hey, it's all for the team :-)
First I need to be convinced that the validation rate is good, it seems to be so far.
We will not make a regular Linux ARM app for this as I wrote earlier, the runtime is just too close to the deadline which will cause frustration to those who are not running 24/7.
The code for the GW app is not yet moved to the official master branch of the public repo, but once that happens, I'll let everybody know.

Thanks. I'll have to give Ubuntu a try. It there are issues I can always go to raparian.
On another note: Has anyone tried the built in bluetooth on the Pi3?

For blink control, I was thinking about using the onboard LEDs and had come across this article: http://www.jeffgeerling.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/controlling-pwr-act-leds-raspberry-pi
