Sytra - you're a star !!

I've got the port speed fixed at 100Mbs, but duplex left as auto and it works!
(I did try to set duplex to full - but that broke it, so I took it off again !)

Thanks for your help.

That should tell you it is a problem with the switch configuration. I'd got that far.. but I figured there's more chance of a cisco person here than a PXE Booting Pi person there ! The Pi talks to the network fine (via the 3750) if booted from a card, this is something to do with the PXE element, j...

Hi All, Dragging up an old post - but I too have a cisco 3750 switch - which i'd like to use to connect a PXE boot Pi. The Pi boots fine from a generic unmanaged switch, but plug it into the 3750 and nothing. (non poe switch, with seperate poe injector in both cases) my switch port config: interface...

You sound like you have a fake "genuine" PSU there as the official supply is only sold in 2.5A varieties There used to be--as I recall--2A RPF PSUs, back when the Pi2B was the top of the line. Such as this one: http://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/USBPowerSupplies.html#T...

Understood, might be worth warning people - lots are likely to get the Lightning Bolt issue and be checking their PSU when its nothing to do with it (well it might be, but ...)..

Hi All,

Thanks again - Confirmed - latest stretch lite - and it works fine. Disappointed that i bought the Pi3B+ and NOOBS Card (i just needed another sd card really) from Pimoroni together and they supplied an old os that didnt work with the 3B+...

Apologies chaps, i whizzed through the pages (s) must have skipped the relevant posts !

I'm re-downloading stretch lite and will try again...

Hi All,

My first 3B+ just arrived (to go with countless others) and I was suprised to get the power (lightning bolt) and failing to boot - even though its plugged into a Genuine Pi PSU ? Granted its rated 5v 2A - not 2.5A, but suprised none the less...

If it helps, I had one running in a greenhouse for a couple of years before it gave up.. (was quite rusty looking by then!) it was used to automate the watering of the plants and just had a sheet of plastic between it and the water...

Merry Xmas, Greg

Hi Folks, As geffers has pointed out from a techie 'because I can' aspect its really rewarding to see data coming in from a Pi connected to just an aerial. You can choose to then share that with companies such as FlightRadar24, FlightAware, 360Radar etc. etc. One advantage you have of going DIY is t...

You're lucky you got a box... mine from the PI Hut just came in an anti-static bag...

At the moment I have 4 PI's doing useful things.. 1. DNS, DHCP and file server 2. Weather station in the garden 3. Automated Irrigation & monitoring of our Polytunnel. 4. Data Capture from my Solar Panels (PV) 5. Bird Box Cam for my little lad! Oh, that's 5 now!! :-) I also have a Dev machine in...

The method I use to prep a new card in Windows (which hasn't been mentioned) open a command prompt; Diskpart (return) List Disks (return) From this list note the id of the sd card (based on size of approx 8gb or 8192 mb) Select Disk id (id from above) Clean Exit out This will clear all partitions an...

Can you post your config so we can see where the issue is ?

Thanks, Greg

5Ghz wifi is illegal in the UK That is must certainly incorrect, 5Ghz is a standard wifi frequency range - all new 802.11ac routers use it as standard. Throughput on these is (theoretically) up to 6.7gbit/s - although how you do the backhaul at that speed in a home environment i'm not sure !!! Greg

Gergmchairy

Which partition are you expecting to see the space appear in? If you're expecting it in /boot (which is the only partition Windows can see natively) then you'll be looking for more than 6 hours! To confirm this, fire up the pi, navigate to a command prompt and execute df -h that'll show the free spa...

More as a learning thing (rather than costs) I have a couple of old 250w panels from a well known auction site sat in my veggie patch charging a 100A leisure battery. Running from that, I have an Arduino doing weather monitoring (in the big white box), a PI in the polytunnel - monitoring temp & ...

Kat,
are you 100% certiain its a genuine FTDI USB Module, I may be slightly off-topic regarding the device type but FTDI have hit the media in the last week for bricking fake devices... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/10/23 ... to_bricks/

It's great to see the VIP's at the NATO summit have all been given a Pi as part of their Welsh Goodie packs - wonder how many actually make it out of the box, & how many actually get to see an SD card & power?

Gergmchairy

I had some wifi issues too, this fixed everything for me... http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 28&t=61665

Good luck, Greg.

Gergmchairy

One of mine has, I had the clean the USB port with one of my good lady's emery boards the other day as it had gone green! But then it does live in our polytunnel!

Gergmchairy

Thanks Paul,

I've just ordered a 6" GPIO extension cable so I can then separate the heat source from the sensors!

Cheers!

Hi All, I've got a PI in my garden (in a home-brew stevenson screen) doing some monitoring of weather data, including: RTH03 Humidity Sensor - with temperature (1wire) BMP180 - Pressure Sensor - with temperature (i2c) DS18B20 Temp Sensor (1wire) All of these devices are mounted within 3cm of each ot...
