Here's an interesting post about a current bug in USB core of linux. I'm not entirely sure if this would apply to any of the problems regarding USB on the RPi.

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about embedding a Raspberry Pi in an automotive project. I expect lots of vibration, and abrupt loss of power every time the ignition gets turned off. Question 1: do you think that the vibration would cause issues with the SD card coming loose? What would be a good way to ...

Maxion

No I don't think it's possible, the Pi is too slow.

The 31855 is similar to the 31865 but it is for thermocouples. There are quite a few tutorials and example scripts available for it for the Pi. IT also uses the SPI interface.

It won't work. The computer expects to talk to one camera and not with two. If you did this and tried to take a photograph I suspect the program would hang at best.

The CSI interface is not a bus. You can't connect multiple devices to it.

Now this is an interesting idea! You note that the FoV is quite low, however this was a bug in the camera software and has now been fixed. If you run apt-get upgrade and rpi-update it should be fixed. This'll most likely massively improve your capture speed. The photos were taken yesterday running ...

Thank you very much for your help.... Last thing...do you know where can I find a tutorial for dismantle the dongle and solder it via wires to the pads of the USB connector? thank you. The dongle is connected via USB, you'll just have to solder the USB leads together. Check out the USB specificatio...

Might have found the error: Hyphens are used to define ranges. For example, 2000-2010 would indicate every year between 2000 and 2010 AC inclusive Inclusive might be tha magic word..... */2 10-11 * * 2,3,4,5 /home/pi/./blink.py Is NOT between 10 and 11 o'clock, but between 11 and 12. Will test it n...

That's quite expensive for a 4-channel relay.

You can find other 4-channel relay boards that use the same 5v relays. Just use a darlington array to control them; uln2803. There are a few guides online to using the RPi and the uln2803 to control relays & steppermotors.

Wouldn't running it as a cron job with @boot or @reboot work?

Maxion

Wind direction & speed is the hardest. You can create DIY sensors of that type but it's a bit hard. For the other; you should find a myriad of sensors by googling. I like the DS18B20's for temperature. All sensors you'll have to connect via the GPIO pins though, some sensors like the DS18B20 you can...

Maxion

You could put it in a cron job as @reboot. That would run the script as soon as the computer has rebooted.

What does ifconfig wlan0 show?? Is your wifi IP address static or dynamic?? If it happens again try dhclient wlan0 you could be suffering from an IP lease problem. Richard S. IP adress is static in the sense that I assign the Pi an IP based on its MAC adress from the router. The pi uses DHCP. ifcon...

Hey guys! I've got an intermin solution where I've got a nano wifi dongle connected right to the Pi.. It's using the RTL8188 chipset by ralink and works quite well. I use wicd to manage the connection However, every couple of hours it suddenly drops SSH connections and stops responding to ping. I ca...

Is there only sky in your shot? Or is there something else as well?

Ref: Modes. What will happen is that there will be a new binned mode that will use the full frame (2x2 binned = throw away every other pixel), this will be used as a preview AND when cropped to the right aspect, probably the source for the video record as well. This does mean that 1080p will actual...

FINALLY got mine today from RS.

Packaged in a bubble wrap envelope, inside a flimsy cardboard box. Cable is kinked but otherwise the camera seems OK.

I just tried re-installing a new image of raspbian on a spare SD card, and still no-go. The same error.

I'm trying to get SPI to work on my Pi. I've got a script to test SPI by reading a voltage divider. However it fails on the line spi = spidev.SpiDev(0, spi_channel) with the error Attribute error: 'module' object has no attribute 'SpiDev'. I'm running the latest BerryBoot Raspbian kernel, I've run r...

Code: Select all

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

Change the above line to this:

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
hdmi_force_hotplug=1

The Pi got me interested in electronics as well. I've got a bit of background on 12V systems so I just started reading tutorials and creating stuff.

I started by playing with some DS18B20 temperature sensors, very easy to set-up and very little soldering. Perfect for noobs like me!

Maxion

If you can, use a Model A. Not only cheaper but it uses about 1/3 the power => generates correspondingly less heat. If you need the Model B, consider a heatsink kit to mount to the SoC and USB/LAN chip, they are not too expensive. Or make your own. http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Heatsink-set-Raspbe...

Maxion

Why not use something based on the LM2596 ? Input up to around 36V and output selectable from 1V to 33V. Rated output at 2A. 90%+ effective, doesn't really produce any heat.

There are many boards using it that can be had for around 10 €.
