Question has anyone tried using one of these on a raspberry pi?

You're probably considering this device because it has its own external power supply, which prevents your Raspberry Pi's power supply from becoming overloaded. Right? I just got this device in the mail today and I had no problems hooking it up to my Raspberry Pi 2 and reading some of my existing hard drives. I found the disks with "sudo fdisk -l" and they show up as /dev/sd? devices. I did have a problem with a few drives mounting in read-only mode. This is more of a Raspberry Pi problem (not having the correct drivers). To get around this, I had to do the following: "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" then a command such as "sudo mkdir /sda2" "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /sda2" You can find other documentation on-line, like how to get it to automatically mount at boot with /etc/fstab entries. Mine is "/dev/sda2 /sda2 ntfs-3g defaults,noatime 0 2". The "noatime" tells it not to constantly update the directory attribute to record each time a file is accessed. But back to your core question -- yes, it absolutely works great with a Raspberry Pi 2 (and by extension, shouldn't have any problem with Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+, and probably other version as well). Enjoy!

I don't think so. But if you have lib that can run for raspi then it should work.

I have not myself, I do believe that you could install XBMC on it. I don't see any reason that you couldn't since there are XBMC packages that install on Raspberry Pi. Goggle is your friend, its not that hard to check.

Sorry.I don't know the answer. I bought this specifically for my Raspberry Pi project.

we have customers using this with Raspberry Pi, we also have the male USB adapters in stock.

Sorry I use this on my raspberry pi openelec xbmc setup. I used it only for a quick second on a android mini TVs (don't use it though) and it work automatically, no setup it just worked. Perhaps it's one of the top buttons around the touchpad?

That is how I learned about tke key board, reading an article about all the stuff one needs to use on a Raspberry Pi device to make it function. And the author said he had one of these keyboards for that purpose. Have fun, I really enjoy using it!

I'm using the Plugable 2.0 version that the manufacturer suggested above, and it's working like a charm for me, for what it's worth. Might save a couple of bucks since the Pi can't use USB 3.0, and get the same outcome otherwise.

Yes I am using it with a Raspberry Pi and HomeGenie. Surprisingly easy to get working if you download the HomeGenie sd card image

Yes. Been using it at work with Raspberry Pi running raspbian for over a year. I use it to power a belkin wifi adapter, thumb drive, and mouse/keyboard.

Yes, I used it on raspberry pi with no issues. You just have to download the package for it, that a quick search with Google will provide.

I have never tried to run this on a pi but it should work. It will be a little tricky and might need to do some research. Here is a link where it's been made to work. http://www.neighborgeek.net/2013/02/using-16x2-lcd-with-i2c-on-raspberry-pi.html

I tried it with Ubuntu (v12.01) OS, but it didn't work with the plug and play drivers built into the OS. The driver needed is called display link, so if you're able to successfully install this driver on linux or raspberry pi OS then it will work fine. The following links might help you out...goo.gl/DcRvaggoo.gl/HACF7mgood luck Steve

I have not used it for such, only using it with a Raspberry Pi which has limited power capabilities from its USB ports. Check the documentation but I believe the total power limit for this device is around 2 amps, so you need to determine the power requirements of the drives. Further, there are only four ports on the device so without further extenders (it's frequently a bad idea to add USB extenders onto to USB extenders, I've heard stories of problems) you're limited to four devices. I do believe there are 8 port powered USB extenders available as well. You might want to investigate one of those. But first determine the total power requirement of your drives.

I have not tried this with Raspberry Pi, but I think it would be dependent on Linux. Since Raspberry Pi can recognize a standard USB mouse or keyboard, I would assume it should based on a quick search of Rasberry Pi and Azio BTD-V201. You can always return it if it doesn't. What do ya have to lose.

Works fine for my raspberry pi running raspbian. I don't see why it would be any different for anything else.

It works very well with the raspberry pi (single board computer running a version of debian).
