It should work by just plugging it in. I used it while i was waiting for my ethernet cable to ship and just plugged it in and it worked fine (Windows 8.1 64bit). You're talking about the one called the "Wi-Pi" correct?

That post is looking for something under $10, i'm looking for something a bit better than the solutions provided.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a housing unit for my raspberry pi. The project is a security system so the housing unit must look like a camera and be able to fit - 1 Raspberry Pi - 1 Wi-Pi (4cm, shorter when plugged in) - 1 Raspberry Pi Camera - Have space for power cord The camera must ...

Wait, has it been added to NOOBS or not? Not sure what you meant.

wanwari

. . . this is the first time using the ARM version and haven't had a config that allowed X to start, so no option to 'go back'. I would like to recommend Raspbian, unless there is a specific reason you want Arch and i3? If you want Arch, load from a default Arch image and get it working with the de...

Is it possible that using a HDMI to VGA converter for my screen could of caused an issue? Sure. But, it could be a host of other issues too. Should I upload the whole file? You need to look through the log file... and understand it. You are running into the issue everyone hates (with video) and tha...

... looks like your X server is not starting (no X server, no window manager). What does your Xorg log file have in it? Usually will give you way more info about why the X server did not load, or crashed, whatever. It did mention Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. no screens fou...

So I'm trying to setup i3wm on a fresh install of Arch using the RPI 2. So the first thing I did was download the img from https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=754332#p754332 and then when written to my sd card I started up Arch with no problem. I then updated the system pacman -Syu Th...

The official download requires a Linux Machine, the Arch developers decided last June to stop offering images: Raspberry Pi ARMv6 http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi Raspberry Pi 2 B ARMv7 http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/broadcom/raspberry-pi-2 ..which makes it harder than ...

I'm using a normal HDMI (Male) to VGA (Female) converter and it works fine. The one I'm using is this:

So the issue probably isn't that you need a powered converter.

Just a suggestion for the forum to make browsing experience easier for users. The suggestion is to change this http://puu.sh/hIun0/01b7af099e.png to this http://puu.sh/hIuHL/92357c52c7.png This will just make browsing the forum easier, especially if you are browsing unread posts / new posts and want...

Looks like this is another issue that can't be solved. Getting another replacement.

wanwari

MCM saw this post and said they'd send me a replacement. If this one also has an issue then it could be the Pi as Dougie suggested. The cameras are static sensitive - any chance it has had a jolt? It was kept in the anti static bag when not in use. And rarely touched. Has anyone suggested trying the...

I updated the firmware, sudo apt-get update/upgrade, camera is enabled, and it's a fresh install of NOOBs that I downloaded from the site yesterday. just a shot in the dark (I initially made that mistake): Camera Survival test #1 Using DSI instead of CSI(PASS) All I am saying is: Doing a search on ...

yes. its fragile so it may have defect/cuts which cannot be seen easily. Hmm, if the worst comes to the worst I'll buy one. But I'm hoping it's not an issue with the hardware. I'll wait to see if anyone else has some issues. EDIT: I used the ribbon cable from the other camera and still get the same...

wanwari

That should be ok, assuming it works as stated. I still feel there's some either problem - either the camera module itself or the cable. The way to eliminate the second is to buy another cable and test it. Can you do that? They sell 2 short cables for ~$5 on amazon/ebay. Do you mean the ribbon cable?

what's the power supply current rating? First One (Came with the Pi): Model: MWS158-0502200UC Input: 100-240V AC 47~63Hz 0.35A Output: 5V 2200mA Second One: Input: 100-240V AC~250 mA 50-60 Hz Output: 5.0 V DC == 1 500 mA I also have the WiPi, keyboard, and HDMI (it's a converter for my VGA screen) ...

check the power supply again. remove and re-insert the camera cable at both ends. also try a different cable if you have one. Tried a different power supply, and re-inserted the camera. It seemed like it was a little to one side but now it's in the center but still the same issue. I can upload pict...

So I have a Raspberry Pi 2 from MCM electronics and I also purchased a camera module. That camera wasn't working (link here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=103572). Nobody knew what was wrong, nor did the company so they sent me a replacement. By accident they sent me the NoIR but...

I was wondering what method this actually used to stream the video. For example I've seen it being done with VLC, obviously that is not the case here. The main page is a simulated stream. raspimjpeg continuously produces medium resolution jpegs in a ram folder /run/shm/mjpeg/cam.jpg. The main Index...

Check out this thread http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 43&t=63276. It's a web interface for the RPi Camera that allows you to view and record. It also has motion detection.

So I want to ssh to my pi over wifi. If all I have connected to my pi is a wifi dongle (no screen) how can I figure out the ip? Can I set the ip on the pi somehow? I've tries using the app "Fing" on my tablet to find my pi but there are too many ips listed. How do I know which is my pi's? Have you ...

Order from mcm electronics if you live in the United States, they are the sister company of element14 who, if Im not mistaken are an official reseller. I ordered one from them and it took 4 days to ship (to Canada), their support is great, and they are cheaper than most places. And the ones they sel...
