Hi All, I'm converting some software over from pc to raspberry pi. I've managed to get the code up and running using SDL2 to draw and open windows. However it's very slow, 1 FPS. I've found examples of how to compile SDL2 so it uses graphics acceleration, however when I try it doesn't work. I've spo...

Hi I came to make almost exactly this post. What I'm doing is porting code to pi. It uses opengl and sdl2. I installed all the sdl2 stuff with apt-get. When I compiled my code it ran painfully slow, 1-2 frames a second. After some searching I found I need to go into raspi-config and set the G1 GL ( ...

Hi All, I'm converting some fully working pc code over to the rasp pi, this compiles fine, thought taking a long time :s. However when I run the code, using sdl2 and assimp model importer the screen draw area is tiny, by this I mean in full screen on my 19" monitor the screen appears to be about the...

That should be permanent password not email :S

Hi Thanks, didn't realise I'd had replies, as didn't get email :s. I will contact you. Tried above and get access forbidden? Not sure what to do? I have restarted multiple times, with multiple pass words give out, no joy. I tried setting a permanent email, still no joy. Any advise I would be thankfu...

Hi All, I've used teamview quite a bit over the years so was excited to see it on raspberry pi at last. However try as I might I can't get it to accept a password. I get a connection it asks for a password, I enter it, then says "the password you have used is invalid... try again" I'm a bit confused...

Hi All,
can any of the IO pins be set to use as usb?
Thanks

knobby67

Thanks,
that was one of my thoughts, but wasn't sure if I could pass SPI through a chip.
But that seems a great idea.

Long story, I need top connect 5 SPI devices, however these devices,( LCD's ) have no select lines. So I need a way of having multiple SPI out, I thought about big banging, but seems to use a lot of IO. Then checked out nxp i2c to spi ic's, but need to buy in large numbers. Does anyone else have sol...

Hi All, I'm trying to use Eagle to design a PCB based on a project I've been working on. My project work on a bread board ( lots of wires :D ) so I'm going to try and make a PCB. I have no experience of this and have hit a roadblock at a power plug. I need 5v and 12v so I thought I'd use a standard ...

Hi
I'm using SSL/SSH VNC viwer. It jas buttons cert, ssl, ssh, ssl+ssh, none.
If I connect using ssl button my passwork doesn't work. I also can see anyway of using +x switch with it?

Hi All I'm running ssh viewer on a ubuntu machine to communicate with my raspberry pi. I'm trying to debug on the raspberry pi, I installed ddd on the raspberry pi and tried to run it. however when I type ddd test, it shows an error "client is not authorized to connect to server error: cant open dis...

Hi All, I've been looking at i2c circuits. Sometimes for the same ic they add extenders and/or buffers. I can imagine why you use extenders, but can anyone explain why and when you'd use a buffer? Is the good participate or do you use if you have lots of i2c ics on the same bus. Thanks eg these sort...

Thanks any advise welcome. I've bough a soldering iron and some wire to solder with. Next I need to find out and buy some flux. Another trip to RS

knobby67

Yes. Ahh. I can't even get the legs on the adapter to solder. The legs on the ic are like the width of a hair!

knobby67

I all,
I bough some i2c ics to use. On getting them I found they were tiny. So I bought some DIL adapters to use them on a breadboard. I can see "footprint" to drop them onto on the adapter. But how do I get then to stick on the adapter? Sorry I'm clueless on hardware

knobby67

Thanks for the advise. Some of this is a little hard to work out

Hi All, I'm learning electronics via raspberry pi. At present I'm about to start on i2c. What I'm going to do is use a NXP stepper driver ( PCA9629 ) to run a group of small bipolar stepper motors ( 12v ). I've check the I2C chips documents and read how everything works. The hardware “driver” part h...

Hi yes that's the one, however I read yesterday that this script doesnt work any more, while someone else claimed one is auto detected. So I came here hoping to clear it up

Hi All, I'd need to use a raspberry 2 to capture data remotely. I thought the best way to do this would be to use a USB cell dongle ( I'm in UK ) with a dropbox script to send the data. I've looked up info on cell dongle data and there's quite a bit, however much of it seems for rap1 and for US netw...

<t>As someone who is an opengl programmer my only real worry is running hi res with 256MB of ram, I think that will be a challenge when you start to use fairly complex models and textures. Can any one tell me who has a pi are people running opengl graphics on SDL or using something like o...

knobby67

I've had SDL running many times on ARMs with no x running. I've never used opengl as none of them had the performance, but I would assume it would run as SDL make the "screen/surface" for you.
