Re: Backup SD card to .IMG file
Concerning the target for the img file: I have failed to use an NTFS hard drive directly connected by USB as the target for the output img file. :cry: But I have succeeded in using an SDcard in an USB carrier directly inserted into the RPi after reformatting it as ext4. Now I am facing a problem wh...

Re: WashbearyPi - Controlling a washing machine with a Pi
Well I'm not an expert but clearance is 0.086 you think that is not enough? I've added buttons and made display work so the project is now almost 100% finished, the machine is back in the original place and doing all wash independent! I've create a github repository with all source files in case any...

Backup SD card to .IMG file
With the piclone program that comes with the standard installation of the Raspberry Pi OS you can create a backup of your SD card to a second SD card while it's active. Now I've modified this program a little bit so it will create backups to an image (.img) file on an external USB drive or shared ne...

Re: WashbearyPi - Controlling a washing machine with a Pi
So far i've made a new PCB for the washing machine with the same dimensions and reused some of the components
And assembled:
Ordered from https://www.nextpcb.com/, was very cheap and fast delivery (1 week production + delivery).

Re: WashbearyPi - Controlling a washing machine with a Pi
Made some changes to the circuit for speed detection, used an opamp because it is more sensitive at low speed (20rpm). Could not find datasheet of the NTC so I've pored some water in and turned on the heating then measured water temperature and compared with the ADC value. until the water level sens...

Re: WashbearyPi - Controlling a washing machine with a Pi
Here are my schematics of what I have so far, yesterday did a first wash :D but still full of bugs and a lot of coding to do. Washberry.zip I've used a Microchip PIC18F2550 for controlling the triac because it has to be done with perfect timing. Maybe it's better to choose for PWM and a mosfet? The ...

Re: WashbearyPi - Controlling a washing machine with a Pi
Yes searched the number and it is a triac. It is on the AC side (before the rectifier).

Re: WashbearyPi - Controlling a washing machine with a Pi
I'm working on similar project now
. When I take a look at the controller PCB in the washing machine I see Samsung has put a rectifier bridge after the triac. Don't know why but I guess they want to make the motor act as a resistive load by feeding DC to it?

GPU accelerated FFT (hello_fft.c)
Hi, I've been playing around with the hello_fft.c GPU accelerated FFT example but I have some questions about the results. For example a sine wave of 20Hz in 1024 samples as input signal: input.png This gives the following result: a peak of 511 at sample 40. I'd rather expect 2 peaks of 1.0 at 492 a...
