Hello, I have been running debian with armel on my raspberry pi for 1 year, since I got my raspi. I decided to upgrade my rpi server to raspbian so I have a lot of old settings and user data that I will be carrying over (no big deal). I want to do a headless install, only installing the bare minimum...

Follow the instructions at http://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/07/16x2-lcd-module-control-using-python/ and you'll not go far wrong. What ever you do, make absolutely sure that the r/w pin is tied to ground and never try to read from the LCD module. If you do, it is quite possible that the data l...

The LCD backlight can be connected to 5V via a 330 ohm resistor.

I'm pretty sure the first pin in the top row of the GPIO is 5v.. it's the bottom one that is 3.3v... or am I wrong?

I'm following this http://elinux.org/Rpi_Low-level_peripherals

Hi guys, a few weeks ago I bought an LCD screen thinking to connect it to my raspberry pi as a small project for fun. Here are the schematics of such screen. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at designing circuits and all that stuff and I'm afraid to overvolt my board (I'm no EE, I'm a CS student) an...

Hey guys :) I've been running my raspberry pi for a while now, I have a very minimal debian image I built myself (customized all the programs and packages, built some custom scripts and got some stuff here and there from raspbian to make into my own) running on my raspberry pi. I read on the news po...

http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/mcu/015/index.html These 8bit parallel screens are pretty much everywhere, look on sparkfun, adafruit etc. you'll probably find code examples, schematics etc. Arduino have some fairly mature libraries these days that can show you how to use the least amount o...

It's doable, but I would have thought that not only will it be electrically complicated, it will be quite a challenge to write the code too. Wouldn't something like THIS be easier to work with: http://uk.farnell.com/productimages/farnell/standard/2063208-40.jpg Datasheets : HERE and HERE Would appe...

Hello everyone, I bought this small screen http://it.rs-online.com/web/p/products/532-6414/ (it's in italian but it's pretty clear) a few days ago and it's going to arrive tomorrow. My plan is to connect it to my raspberry pi and then send data from a program that parses common system utilities (lik...

I have successfully powered an Arduino via USB from a RPi. There was no circuit connected to the Arduino at the time though. I just tested serial communication on USB and that works. By the way the 'arduino' Debian package supports the Uno in Wheezy but not Squeeze. Great info, thanks! :) I already...

Hello everyone. I have a question, I don't know if this is the right section so feel free to move it. Anyhow, I currently have both a pi and an arduino UNO. Is the pi enough to support powering the arduino through standard usb port using the standard power supply (5~V)? What would be a better soluti...

Okay, giving myself a bump with an update. I went out and bought a nice 8GB SD card, figured that the old SD+USB couple was too slow and prone to problems. With the new card everything works fine.... but not always. I updated kernels and firmware using rpi-update, however after a while (I spent 3 ho...

I was looking for a pre-compiled raspberry kernel because the default one from the debian image doesn't work (it has some problems finding the usb flash drive), I remember someone posted a patched kernel specifically for this on these forums but I couldn't find it so I tried a few kernels and the fe...

Hello everyone. I'm currently running my raspberry pi headless, no screen, using ssh. It works fine for a while, but when I try doing something a bit more "intensive" (even a simple apt-get update/apt-get upgrade) it takes a looong time to complete and more often than not it would just hang and I'd ...

Yes, it has to be fat32, and it has to be the first partition on the SD card. It's where the embedded-in-GPU firmware looks for bootcode.bin http://raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=6685 If you're wanting to use your own kernel, you might want to check out https://github.com/raspberrypi/l...

If you take one of the standard distros then you can put the main system partition on the USB device and only have the files from the FAT32 partition on the SD card. You then need to edit the cmdline.txt file to say that the rootfs is on /dev/sda1. Then when you have finished booting the SD card is...

So... my raspi arrived in my mail this morning and I started playing with it a bit. I was a bit disappointed (and confused) by the lack of grub on arm... anyhow this is my problem: I built/setup my debian distro using qemu-system-arm using standard debian stable packages (nothing specific to the ras...
