Re: Send SCPI command to a RP 3B+ using VISA thought Ethernet

Hi, I don't know if there is an implementation of a SCPI server running on Linux/ARM, but if I remember correctly, SCPI protocol is just plain ASCII commands. You could then "just" write a TCP server in your preferred language that parses the string comming from a TCP socket and responds accordingly...

Re: 24x7x365 Products using RPI2-How to get rid of Kernel Pa

USB Flash drives use the same memory technology than SDCard, and they have the same "weaknesses": they support a limited number of write/erase cycles on each memory cells. The error message you get could be caused by a filesystem corruption because of a faulty flash drive. I once tried to set up 2 r...

Re: Elevator project

It still makes no sense. Getting stuck in a lift because the interface is busted is no fun. The same would be true for any other GUI application.

Re: Transmission drop connection

Some router cannot handle a lot of connections at the same time, and torrents tends to connect to a lot of peers on the internet. The router from my ISP had this problem, it woul...

Re: Elevator project

Certainly not one for commercial use. It depends on what the RaspberryPi would be used for... If the rPi is used for driving actuator, reading sensor and garantee the safety of the elevator, you're right. But if it is used as an HMI (Human Machine Interface), GUI,... which communicates with another...

Re: USB 2.0

If you really need all the bandwidth available on USB3.0, you'll need a higher-end (and higher priced) device. High-end NAS cost more money than a RaspberryPi, there has to be a reason for that... Some device may be compatible with USB3.0, but may not provide the full speed of USB3.0. That beeing sa...

Re: Combining 2 tutorials

You can store the result of gettemp() in a variable in order to use it later:

Code: Select all

# As an integer
tempDS18B20 = gettemp(id)/float(1000)
# As a String
tempDS18B20 = '{:.3f}'.format(gettemp(id)/float(1000))

From what I can see, you have merged 2 python scripts into a single one. Now, you'll have to rearrange some things in order to make it work the way you want. First you can remove the line #!/usr/bin/python (on line 39), because it is already specified on line 1. Then, what happens when you execute y...

You can start as much webservers as you want (as long as there are enough ressources to make them run), BUT, they cannot run on the same port. In your case, you can start the first one on the port 8080, and the second one on the port 8081, for example. I don't know any thing about the 2 applications...

Re: Raspberry Pi CPU seems to Hang when running soffice.bin

soffice.bin seems to be related to OpenOffice, and not to Owncloud...
I searched for "soffice.bin" in google and found a lot of entries about soffice.bin eating all the CPU and RAM.

Are you using OpenOffice on your pi?
