I just set this up to try and catch someone thats been messing with my kitchen window but it's not detecting motion. I can physically see things moving on the stream, a cat keeps walking past, I've gone outside and walked around in front of the camera but it detects none of it. What am I doing wrong...

I'm trying to follow this guide https://www.bouvet.no/bouvet-deler/utbrudd/building-a-motion-activated-security-camera-with-the-raspberry-pi-zero to set up a security camera but when I get to the "Istalling Motion" section and run this command wget github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/download/...

Thanks, I think that quadcopter battery only lasts for about 10 minutes of flight anyway so 25-30 mins should be fine

I was planning on buying a cheap quadcopter with a camera just to mess around with and someone informed me that the cheapest option is to buy one of these http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_366866.html and attach a small camera to it with a rubber band but then I remembered I had a Raspberry ...

Ah right, thanks. Sounds like it'll probably be easier and generally better to go with the PSP seeing as the screen I already have is one of those 4.3" car monitors and I know it fits perfectly and can be powered from USB. Will this work with the Pi Zero? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-3-4-Wire-Re...

I am planning on putting a Pi Zero in either a PSP or GBA with a battery and touchscreen and whatever else and using it for emulators. I would prefer to use a GBA but I dont want to have to modify anything on the outside of the console, it needs to look exactly like a GBA so my question is: Does any...

How can I go about powering my Pi and a screen like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Camera-Monitor- ... 350&sr=8-1 from the same power source?

Gwyn400

I'm not sure if I'm just missing something completely obvious but the Pi Store seems to be nearly impossible to use with small screens like my 4.3" one which just seems rather odd seeing as small car screens seem to be quite popular with the Raspberry Pi

I bought this USB sound card http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002FI7GWK/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00 And I commented out the "options snd-usb-audio index=-2" in "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" like everywhere says but I'm not getting any sound. When I type "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Cente...

Is that battery going to power a Raspberry Pi and 4.3" screen without any problems and how long is it likely to last?

Gwyn400

So does anyone know if this works with the Pi? http://www.amazon.co.uk/BestDealUK-2-4GHz-Wireless-Keyboard-Android/dp/B009HK0SA6/ref=sr_1_79?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1366743656&sr=1-79&keywords=mini+keyboard It looks like the exact right size to fit under the screen on a case I'm working on but cant ...

I bought that 4.3" one from eBay but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this kind of thing so would someone be able to point out what needs removing and what needs soldering where from this picture? I can get a better/clearer picture if needed http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn181/gwynhelek/IMG...

Gwyn400

Will this also work for a 4.3" monitor such as this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181085381340? ... 1497.l2649

I am planning on turning my Pi into a retro console with various different emulators such as NES, SNES, GBA, PS1 and so on. My question is would it be possible to store the games for these on a CD or DVD and load them from a USB CD or DVD drive? and possibly even use the original PS1 discs like I ca...

Has anyone had any experience with this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPO-Port-USB-2-0-Powered/dp/B003BVDABG/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1344553977&sr=8-22 It's pretty perfect for what I need it for, I'm planning on putting my Pi inside an old Gamecube and replacing the controller ports with USB ports which...

Gwyn400

Thanks but that didnt work for me.
I did solve the problem though, I just changed the resolution height until it was right at the top of the screen and then messed with the right/left/bottom overscan settings. probably should have tried that first

When I try to play a video my screen goes blue and says "no signal". I have a feeling it has something to do with the screen resolution (same thing happened when I tried playing the Python Games with an old screen until I fixed the resolution) but XBMC changes the screen res every time I start it an...

I'm using one of these http://www.gadgetreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/vuzix-av920.jpg When I first used it I had the resolution set to 640x480 which is what the website says the resolution is but the left and bottom were cut off and the right and top had black borders so I messed with the ov...

Gwyn400

Have you tried a different cable? I had a similar problem and it turned out the cable just wasnt working even though it worked fine with everything else before I tried it in my Pi.

Gwyn400

I think I'll probably get a more expensive one just to be safe. thanks anyway.

Gwyn400

I used the video calibration options in XBMC, works great now.

Gwyn400

No matter what resolution I choose in the system settings it always seems to cut off the edges, how do I fix this?
[edit] never mind I fixed it

For anyone interested with a PS2 slim you can use the Joytech 8" PS2 screen and one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0009V9DYO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A2H4DN41XU9AY4 And plug the Pi straight into the back of it, plus it seems like you can power the Pi from the PS2 Slims USB po...

The place I ordered the thing from sent me the wrong thing, I needed something to plug the Pi into the back of the screen as well as the PS2 but they sent something that let me plug it into the front of the screen instead of the PS2. Before I sent it back though I decided to try it out and make sure...

Thank's for the help, I shall order one on thursday.
