Try this, read example. #!/usr/bin/env python import serial from time import sleep ser = serial.Serial( port='/dev/ttyAMA0', baudrate = 9600, timeout = 2 ) # Connect to serial port sleep( 2 ) # Give a little time for serial port to be opened. Not really needed but helps for debugging val = '<1234567...

global arrow and run few independend programm on pythin and each programm can read or write date on this array

why not use pickle?

TillM

It might help if you show us your code?

I had no problem getting mine in Australia.

Hi JF002. Yeah I found those settings while trying to figure out how the calibration tool works and what it supposed to do. I set my deactivate_slack to 6, default was 4 and it seems to have made the screen a little more smoother. Other settings didn't seem to do anything, even when sending stupid v...

Ordered the 10" kit as well, planning to embed it in a brewing control panel. Beer? I just finished running off 180 liters of wort through my 2 inch boka :) I have an arduino connected to it to monitor the temps and have a raspi taking to it via rs485 and updating several computers on my home netwo...

Do you know if the driver is based on a proprietary firmware or if we all all the necessary source to fix it? Having read through most of the stuff on the ubuntu forums, I came to the conclusion it has been reverse engineered from windows firmware. I could be wrong though. Thanks for the link to th...

TillM

I think the driver for this is already in the linux kernel. What does lsusb typed into a terminal give you when you plug the touchscreen in?

TillM

This should work and get you started.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

movie_path = '/path/to/your/file.mpg'

from subprocess import Popen

omxp = Popen(['omxplayer',movie_path])

But as long as we're having usb failures we will have to wait for a stable platform. At the moment all sorts of bad things can happen when the pointer goes awol and kicks off 10+ touch events per second. I've had files deleted and all sorts of weird issues due to this. I have a feeling this has to ...

which adapter is it?

I have a ftdi usb to serial talking to an 75176b rs485 transceiver which talks to an arduino via python. It's been running for 4 days straight now. Seems pretty stable.

TillM

Beware though, if you plug a mouse or keyboard in with the touchscreen it can and often does screw things up unfortunately. The usb on the raspi still needs a lot of tender loving care, although I've noticed it's getting better somehow. One day perhaps?

Hi wizard. I don't know if your still following this post or working with your lg 10inch touchscreen. But I thought I'd share some developments with you. I managed to get mine to work really smooth on my raspi by setting some settings in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. In this directory you'll find a fi...

Ah ok. Sounds like another corrupt raspi sd card issue. I hope it doesn't reflect badly on linux, it's a lot better than that

Anyway http://forums.debian.net/ are full of good linux and debian tips and the users aren't too bad either

TillM

Change your script to include the python interpreter command at the top like so #!/usr/bin/env python # Python program to monitor status of R-Pi GPIO #18 (R-Pi GPIO connector pin #12) from __future__ import print_function import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time, sys # print('day,start,end') print('# PIR...

You shouldn't edit system wide files, this is not windows! Unless you know what you're doing and you want all user accounts to behave the same way. Stick to your own profile settings and you won't stuff up your system. You should put this at the bottom of your .bashrc file or better yet in your .xin...

TillM

The file is different because you're logged in as the root user and not your normal user account. Each user on a linux system has their own .profile file. You'll find the one you're looking for in /home/YOURUSERNAME/ that you normally log in with. You're probably looking at roots .profile not your o...

TillM

Well it works fine for me with all the latest updates. perhaps your sd card is suffering from corruption? A common occurrence on the raspi. Do you have another sd card you can load a fresh copy of raspbian on?

TillM

clear your ssh keys which are generated whenever you first ssh into another machine. In linux they're found in your home director/.ssh in windose I have no idea.

TillM

watch the youtube vid and see how CPU hungry their drivers are. That really put me off their product. This is complete FUD! No I don't work for them or have any association with them, but I do have two of their touchscreens for the raspi that are working quite well for me. The makers explained why ...

TillM

How did you install it? What commands did you use?

TillM

I'm not familiar with lxde. does it have a configuration file in /etc which you can edit to prevent it from auto logging in.

Or type man lxde-settings-daemon in a terminal screen and see if that gives you any tips.

TillM

Just out of curiosity, I set things up to automatically boot to desktop -- so it is skipping the login manager. Any way to change this behavior?

How do you mean? Do you not want to auto login?
If so how did you set it up to skip the login manager and which one?
Can't you just reverse what you did?

TillM

create you own .xinitrc file and add your window manager startup to it. mine looks like this #!/bin/sh # # ~/.xinitrc # # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here) xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources # update x resources db xbindkeys & # Launch xbindkeys hotkey mapper jwm & wmpid=$! # And finally...
