Having this issue now, Sadly the Pi i decided to plug into is a 256. So memory seems to be an issue here too.
Looking forward to trying to get motion working.

Re: Brand new rPi + bad F3 polyfuse
if your poly return to less resistance you will most likely want todo something about it. On my rev1 Pi, I bridged both sides of the poly with small piece of wire :shock: . Surely NOT advised :lol: but I have been running that rpi every second since and had no issues (with a tested power supply). So...

Re: Dropping Pings
swapped out the pi today with a model B.
Much better now

Re: Dropping Pings
Looks like it could be related to power issues on the other Pi (known blown poly).
Finally a good test on the new setup.

well, totally different pi/sdcard/cable/network/psu/fresh install. I still seeing .1 percent. However this is my first test here with this setup could be a random loss of a single ping. I will try a few more tests. Loss Count 0.1% 7836 1.1 0.9 0.9 18.7 0.2 From what I have seen a slight bit of load ...

Re: Dropping Pings
I figured I would bump this thread.
I am having ping drop issue about .2 - .4 % packet loss. Most recent Arch as of 2 days ago. Hardwired. Confirmed switch and network equipment is 200% percent. No tx/rx errors at either side, etc.
Anyone else experiencing issues?

Re: MAX31855 Thermocouple driver
I dont know why you can't go over 1000C, It really depends on the thermocouple. K types go into the 1000C range http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple

@Beantown_Brewer: You need have the SPI driver installed, it comes with the most recent builds (pretty sure) Not sure if both are required but the first one is, I know some other SPI things I have played with in the past required spidev so i am not sure. modprobe spi_bcm2708 modprobe spidev Then onc...

Thanks BlueBill, I know there was something I was missing on that circuit, I was unsure of switching 24vac, only thing that really made me know it was safe was looking at what other thermostats were using.

Re: Thermostat314 - rPi/python powered Thermostat
Yeah, I considered the radio thermostat options, seems REALLY straight forward.
I am really interested in other temperature control applications, Like kilns. I figured this would be a fun start to get the brain flowing.

So what were trying to say here is, the pi is going to outlast you, and that's what everyone wants isn't it ?Jessie wrote:How long does the Pi last? Extra long since it has been taking herbal male enhancements for men.

(ps, I run my pi very hard, no doubt they will outlast us all)

In a nutshell, and this is as detailed as I can get , you need to do the following: setup a static ip on your rpi setup a compatable static ip on your laptop use a crossover cable to connect the two together directly SSH from your laptop to your rpi using the static ip address you setup in step 1. ...

Actually I tried all 3 transistors. I also have tried using two transistors as that seemed like a logical move when I saw I was seeing half the current draw then what was needed.... But it didn't do the trick and quickly made question my understanding.

One of which was a brand new 8GB class 10, Once I pass 900/2overvolt setting I get dramatically slower sc card speeds with a DD test. (read and write slower) I tested 2...
