I'm using a sensor on my Pi Zero W to measure temperature, pressure and humidity. Installation of the sensor required enabling the I2C interface and connecting to GPIO pins 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 (the bottom left row). I've now connected a breadboard with LEDs to other GPIO pins to turn the LEDs on-off us...

Is it still preset at 950MHz (it's not a normal preset).

Yes.

Code: Select all

 vcgencmd measure_clock arm
frequency(48)=950000000

Is it running fine at 1GHz?

Yes, I've not noticed any other problem. Seems odd, though, that the clock speed now exceeds the value it's set for.

MacsandaPi

My Rpi 1B+ was using the overclock pre-set of 950MHz, but after installing the latest kernel (5.4.72+ #1356), the clock speed is now 1000MHz. Is this a bug?

MacsandaPi

Hoping someone can advise if TRIM can be enabled on the RPi 1B+ with the above SSD and adapter cable. The posts I've seen refer to newer Pi 4. Thanks.

MacsandaPi

I have a 1B+ Pi with a Silicon-Power 2.5" SSD attached with a Eluteng adapter cable. I use the bootcode.bin method to boot to the SSD. The Pi is used headless, running a BOINC project. Is TRIM recommended or not needed with this setup? If recommended, how to enable? ~ $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 004...

rm-hull ( https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.led_matrix/issues/225 ) said: The problem is actually occurring in a library called spidev. The exact problem looks to be some low level issue with C interfacing that Spidev does with the kernel. What version of spidev do you have installed. Try: pip3 list |...

MacsandaPi

Thank you for your continuing assistance. I tried the force-reinstall commands you suggested and rebooted, but the output gives the same system error I've been getting. I looked at the luma.led_matrix github site today and see that two issues relating to this problem have been posted (one by you); b...

MacsandaPi

I ran rpi-update and rebooted. Unfortunately, my time/date code returns the same error as reported above. FWIW, the ZeroSeg code library (Python2) runs with no errors.

MacsandaPi

According to page 30 of the ZeroSeg User Guide https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0176/ ... de_1.2.pdf, CS uses Pin 24/GPIO8. I don't know how to move that to pin#26/GPIO7.

MacsandaPi

Thanks for your reply. I've reinstalled from https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.led_matrix so I assume I've got the latest versions, but I still get the same error when I try to run the time/date code or the sevensegment_demo in the examples directory. The SDCard has the RaspiOS with desktop and recomm...

Today I ran apt update/full-upgrade which installed a new kernel (5.4.51+) on my Pi B1+. Now the Pi's attached ZeroSeg 7-segment time/date display fails to run and returns the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "luma7datetime.py", line 58, in <module> main() File "luma7dat...

While a 64-bit mode may be required for the Microbiome project, it isn't needed for the COVID-19 program (OpenPandemics). I have OpenPandemics running on a RPi 1 B+ and two Pi Zeros. I've overclocked the 1B+ to 950MHz, but that may not be necessary.

MacsandaPi

Yes, 10 seconds is the duration for the time display.

I added main() in the button section in an attempt to get the time to display again after the text had completed. Without main() at that location, the text just stays on the screen.

MacsandaPi

My RPi 1B+ has a ZeroSeg 7-segment display ( https://thepihut.com/products/zeroseg ). My objective is to have the display begin with current time and date, show text when a button is pushed, and then return to the time and date in a "while True" loop, i.e., continuously showing time/date u...

I'm using Silicon Power 128GB (model A55) SSDs with my old (first generation) B+ and a Pi 2B (version 1.1). Both are set up to boot to the SSDs from their microSD cards which contain only the bootcode.bin file.

To follow up on my use of the Screen tool, it's working perfectly for my simple[minded] purpose. I'm indeed grateful to HawaiianPi for bringing it to my attention. I'd never heard of it before. The only problem I foresee is remembering the few commands and their sequence to access the active screen ...

MacsandaPi

I've installed screen and am still trying to learn how to use it, but these early explorations make me think this is what I'm looking for to enable me to work directly with the python script while it's running. Many thanks, HawaiianPi for that suggestion. My thanks, too, to DougieLawson and Andyroo ...

I use the screen command to interact with my headless Minecraft multiplayer servers.

"screen" must not be installed by default (I have the latest version of Raspbian); I get "No manual entry for screen" when I enter

I would have thought it was unlikely a click program would have any files open though. Do you have a link to the source? Handling kill commands (from Ctrl-c or the command line / system) can be added to most programs easily though. I don't know what a "click program" is. Ctrl-C works fine...

MacsandaPi

I'd considered using

Code: Select all

top

to identify the PID process and then kill that, but was reluctant to try, not knowing if that would produce a "clean" quit and exit.

Would your suggested termination likely result in possible file corruption?

MacsandaPi

My Pi is used as a clock. It's set up headlessly with a 7-segment display add-on and runs a Python script to show the time. When I SSH into the Pi, how do I access that active program to stop it and then exit the program cleanly (like using Ctrl-C)? Do I simply launch the Python script again from th...

MacsandaPi

Thanks, rhubarbdog, for your suggestion. I've used that "while True/except KeyboardInterrupt:" combination with the RPI.GPIO library before, but haven't been able to get it to work yet with the gpiozero library. I'll keep trying.

MacsandaPi

I think you link is a bit odd Hi Andyroo--Thanks for pointing out that malformed link; I've corrected it in my original post. Have you seen the documents for the commands at all https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api_boards.html I did look at that site before I posted my question. The inform...

Thank you for the helpful information, epoch1970. The installed OS seems to be running without problem. I was just curious about the apparent discrepancy between the firmware number in the release notes and what is in my Pi.
