I wonder why you didn't opt for the 22 pin connector thats on the Pi Zero as the connector on the camera? That connector has pins for the two additional MIPI lanes and would still be compatible to current Raspberry Pis using the same adapter cable, and allow future Raspberry Pis (or other boards) to...

I'd love to see whether you can actually capture stars with the Pi Camera, since they are quite a lot darker than planets like Saturn or the moon. Maybe you can next time the weather allows :) 2nd magnitude stars should be very possible, with a 6 inch or bigger telescope possibly quite some magnitud...

Looking absolutely great!
You're saying you want to also control your telescope with a web-interface. I'm looking forward to pretty much the same thing, maybe I can find some time to extend it's functionality.

I'm wondering whether you are getting frame drops or errors with such a long cable.. USB always has some problems with such long cables and they aren't that high speed, are they?

Oh thank you for that stellarium telescope server idea! I was thinking about automating my C8 telescope with a raspberry pi and a camera, but I didn't know how to get it well remote controlled without meters of RS232 cable in my garden (and not having to boot windows everytime since stellarium seria...

Use some old firmware from an old OS? I'm not sure to what extent you can mix firmwares and OS files. Firmware that old is unlikely to support 512MB memory and several other improvements that have been made since. I don't think that any mention has been made of supporting MMC cards has been made on...

I use a 16MB SD card with no problems on the latest firmware. Are you using an SD card or a MMC card. I believe support for MMC cards have been dropped from the startup code, as SD cards are recommended. When I tried using an MMC card I got the same symptoms. Yep, it's a MMC card from some old Cano...

Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to get my Raspberry Pi boot off a 16MB card, which only holds a kernel and the Pi's firmware + config, to mount the root filesystem from a NFS export. Problem is: When I insert the Card and plug in power, the green LED is blinking three times, stops a little while, ...

I'd like to put temps, frequencies and voltages in my monitoring system. Markus If you are going to release your software could you also include support for an I2C connected 'Case' temperature sensor please? Well, it's not my software, its just a Zabbix instance running on my server. But I plan to ...

It gets even weirder: My raspberry pi is now located under my bed (for reasons!) and the camera shows correct colors, I can't explain why at all... It sometimes gives a black image (at least fswebcam does), but the colors are fine. I haven't got a hub/keyboard/monitor attached now, maybe thats the r...

What is required to access the temps, frequencies etc.? I've got a user named "zabbix" (only in group "zabbix") that can't read the values pi@raspberrypi:~$ ls -l /dev/vchiq crw-rw---T 1 root video 252, 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/vchiq pi@raspberrypi:~$ groups pi adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev g...

What is required to access the temps, frequencies etc.? I've got a user named "zabbix" (only in group "zabbix") that can't read the values, it just says "VCHI initialization failed" while another normal user can read them without sudo.. # sudo -u zabbix /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp VCHI initial...

I wrote a small programm to swap channels, but neither U and V nor R and B are swapped. I also tried to swap some other channels, or negate some: No success yet. When I plug the camera into my Mac without having a special driver installed it outputs a correct image, and I believe I plugged it into a...

Hm, no idea anyone?
I also tried with streamer and mencoder, they all give those strange colors

Hi everyone, I tried out my old Microsoft VX-5500 Webcam the last days with my Raspberry Pi, and after some research I got it streaming via a ffserver and ffmpeg to some desktop computer (or via vpn to the world :)). Well, my only problem is, that all the colors are totally mixed up, looks like some...

Also ich komme aus der nähe von Hamburg, genauer: Henstedt-Ulzburg (werden wohl die wenigsten kennen...)

Hi,

My Raspberry Pi box (w/o the white bag) weights 93 gramms with a Pi in it, security seals not broken.

I ordered mine from RS last week (29.05.12) too, shipping to germany. It says it despatches within 6 weeks, I hope it delivers later or much earlier, as I'm on holiday in 4 weeks.
Does anyone know whether this time is approx. correct or just a if-everything-runs-wrong date?

markus3141

I got my invitation to order on 29.05.12, ordered the same day and got Order no. 535xx. Despatch within 6 weeks (to germany): Too bad, I'm on holiday in 4 weeks for 2 weeks.

Should I write an email to RS, they don't need to try to deliver within the time I'm on holiday?
