Breadboard and Schematic:

Rasplex Installation:

I follow the instruction from the rasplex website and download the rasplex installer for windows then run the GetRasplex-win7-32.1.0.1.exe as administrator on my windows 7 system.

I have to download the rapIex image from the installer and insert a formatted 1GB cat 10 SD card in my sd card reader and just click on the "Write SD Card" button.

Everything work fine on the rasplex version 0.7.1 but the version 1.0.1 was contently giving me an error #53 with strange Chinese script on a popup windows.

Note:

To install the1.0.1 version i follow the manual Installation procedure from the rasplex website.

I have to download windows32 disk imager from sourceforge.net than unzip the rasplex image previously downloaded insert my formated cat10 1GB SD card and write the rasplex image.

Insert the SD card in the Raspberry, power it on and that's all what to be done to boot the device and drive it from the keyboard without the IR remote controller.

At the first boot the system had automatically get one IP address from my DHCP server and automatically found my Plex media server.
