What are the inexpensive adapters need for, please?

Thanks

Could someone tell me if there is a Spotify music app for RPI?

I know there is one for Linux Mint because I use it on my desktop.

Thanks.

Re. USB drive - not so sure about that as an improvement. The nastiness with a DAW is you have a very large number of widely-scattered read points and write points to the filing system, in my current case 8 or 16 write points and up to 96 read points (tracks), so depending on how the file system is...

I have a DAW engine Ive written that can sustain well over 72 tracks of playback. RAM isn't the limit here, SD read/write speed is. So their quoted 32 is a bit lower than expected but still enough for somebody to make the equivalent of Sgt Pepper, Who's Next or Led Zep IV!! Very excited about this....

Announcement at NAMM 2017 that Tracktion will be creating interface hardware and making their DAW available on Pi 3 - http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2017/01/20/namm-2017-tracktions-raspberry-pi-based-audio-apps/ Thanks for posting. I saw this on kvraudio yesterday. 32 tracks! :o I'm very interested...

What is the Max Power Consumption of your SSD which presumably is using a USB-SATA Adaptor ? Hmm Good question. Max Power Consumption is not listed on the device and I couldn't find it on the Kingston web site. UPDATE: I tried plugging directly into the official power supply from RPI and used an ex...

please no personal attacks, posts -will- be deleted to keep the peace! When really necessary people will receive a temp-ban. :evil: Thanks, Mahjongg. For those that really want to help, I am using this powered hub: https://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/accessories/usb-hubs/10-port-usb-hub-5v-4a/?lim...

Please clarify, you are powering the RPi 3B from a USB Hub ?

Yes I am powering the RPi 3B from a USB Hub.

I'm trying to setup a boot from a usb drive. I am using RPI 3, and a Kingston 120GB SSD external drive; both from a powered usb hub. I am also following the article: "How to boot from a USB Mass Storage Device on a Raspberry Pi 3" located here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/rasp...

Could someone point me towards some System Temperature monitoring software?

Thanks

Vertical lines are usually an indication of video data not being transferred to the monitor properly - if it's hdmi then the data corruption is likely before the connector - my best guess is a fried video processor - I don't know too much about the particulars of Pi video chip yet but I would say i...

>Is this on the LCD display, or the HDMI output? I tried it on the official 7" display and my 22" LG monitor for hdmi using the same Pi3 board. >Have you attached anything else to your Pi?

Anybody?

I plugged in my Pi3 this morning and got a screen that I have never seen before. Instead of the normal full screen Rainbow start up, I got multi-coloured vertical pinstripes with a white background! Boot up would not go any farther. This happened with both the official rpi power supply and with a Ra...

All this stuff sounds like more trouble than it's worth (at least for me.) I'm not looking for a 2 year project, just an add on to the rpi 3.

Ah well, forget it, I guess.

Thanks. Is this board ready to use as a GPS? I'm not a programmer, I just want to add a GPS to my RPI3.

Thanks

Is there such a thing as a GPS Hat for RPI 3B? Thanks Doug USA. https://www.adafruit.com/product/2324 UK. https://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/breakout-boards/hab-supplies/raspberry-pi-gps-hat Thanks, I knew I'd seen one somewhere. EDIT: Adafruit's web site says that it doesn't work with RPI 3 yet....

Hi, When I try to start gufw (Firewall ) from the command line, it won't start. here is the text that prints out: $ sudo gufw ** (gufw.py:1097): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service f...

An SSD--or even an HDD--is marginally faster than the SD card. You can get transfer rates around 35MB/s with a USB attached SSD on a Pi3B. If--some day--there is a Pi with USB3, that will jump to about 80MB/s for an HDD and about 125MB/s for s SATA-III SSD. Thanks for those figures, that was what I...

Which is faster-SD Card or SSD Drive running Raspian?

Are there any speed utils to measure drive speed for RPi?

I'm running a Pi 3 board booting from an SD card with the bulk of Raspian on a Kingston 128 Gb SSD drive.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, 6x9, that link is quite useful. Now that I think of it, I **DID** do a rpi-update on Raspian full version. I didn't know that it wasn't recommended. BTW-the lightning bolt went away after 2-3 reboots. I was also using a RAV Power Pack battery: https://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/accessories...

Has anyone succeeded in getting RPi 3 and HiFi Berry DAC + working together? I've been trying for two weeks now with no success. (See my thread on the HiFiBerry forum :

a solution that would just be a simple Raspberry Pi 3 with a battery pack in a self-contained case. Not a laptop, but it IS a portable: For a case: http://smarticase.com/ For a battery, here's a Power Bank: https://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/accessories/power-supplies/power-bank-16000mah-5v-2a-us...

I have an official RPI 7" Touch screen.

Does anyone know where I can get a Touch Gesture Reference Guide. I'd like to get the most out of the Touch features.

Thanks in advance.
