Are you working on some kind of multifunctional? Where on one occasion you would send raw print data to the printer for printing, and on another you'd be trying to retrieve a network scan? I went through a similar process while reverse engineering drivers for Xerox multifunctionals a couple of years...

UDP is very similar to TCP but there are some fundamental mechanics differences.. For UDP server: Create a socket Bind !! Note: Do not listen() as you would in TCP Receive (loop) For UDP Client: Create a socket !! Note: Do not connect() as you would in TCP Send packet Server Code: int ListenPort=888...

How are you compiling this? Did you link to ncurses in your compile command? You need to add -lncurses so that the compiler knows to link against ncurses.. gcc -o test -lncurses test.c or use a Makefile. Here's a recent Makefile for a simple (C++) curses app: CC = g++ LIBS = -lcurses CFLAGS = -fperm...

Does anyone have this working on /dev/fb1? (fbtft, any other dtoverlay or anything else at all) The following works; it launches the application and displays the gui on the SDL surface on fb1.. Albeit awkwardly on the 320x240 TFT. However, it seems to freeze entirely when actually launching the emul...

I couldn't find an arm package for vuurmuur firewall, or any posts at all, so here's a step by step guide to building it from source. One of the better linux firewalls out there, certainly recommended! The source is for 0.8rc1, this is unchanged since 2013 but you can substitute if a newer version g...

Hence my backing towards your crontab post

wrt cooling.. There should not be any need..Now that pi is quadcore, everything is slacktastic. If you want do dig into C++ then by all means yes get a pi and hack away! If you're worried about heat and/or stressing cores then look into threading whatever you're doing or moving to event based progra...

tbh openelec still owns all at this point in time. Straightforward question, straightforward answer!

DaveDriesen

The crontab thing.

In addition, you can use /etc/rc.local to run stuff at startup.

Motion can be pretty CPU intensive though.. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome stuff, but in simple implementations it consumes, like, nearly a full CPU core per camera. It does in software what your camera couldawouldashoulda done in hardware. So considering the pi only has one core, for pi purposes ...

Even a car battery will only power your pi for a few days. Remember in a car it's mostly the alternator that provides the power. The size of the battery will influence its durability but however big it is, it won't last for ages. A week? TBH I see no easy wins here... Dave Driesen Linux Dev and Olds...

From recent memory.. Obviously you just need to update config.txt. Key values are: sdtv_mode=2 hdmi_force_hotplug=0 sdtv_mode=2 sets PAL mode for your TV-out. Setting hdmi_force_hotplug=0 makes sure HDMI doesn't end up overriding your RCA. Or whatever it'll be. If you are using NOOBS then you may ne...

OK so I just bought my Mathematics dictionary after starting to learn numbers. My thoughts where that if we can store lists then we can atleast store usefull numbers. Maybe you can also find a use for a normal dictionary seeing as you lost me at "usefull".. :O Dave Driesen Linux Dev and Oldskool El...

One thing way better than VNC is NX. You should definitely look into this for the simple reason that VNC is insecure. You don't want some numbnuts bruteforcing your VNC while you eat your fries and pentest :P But sadly I think in your scenario NX will suffer the same fate, i.e. you will still lose y...

That all looks awesome. In fact if your electronics skills are this high, you probably won't even need the powered USB hub (which by the way is indeed good and the dc converter also). But if you do get the hub, then yep you'll be converting 12V to 5V to power it. You can also branch off an existing ...

DaveDriesen

I don't think you can achieve this using your current setup seeing as your IP link will be broken when you switch WiFi networks.. Having trouble contemplating further because you mentioned McD and my brain is now spamming quarter pounder. With cheese. What's that? Yea supersize it. Definitely -- tha...

DaveDriesen

First things first, get yourself a powered USB hub and a DC-DC converter that can provide the DC volts the hub needs. Some adapters you can regulate with a dial, so if your hub needs 5V, you just turn the dial to 5V and Bob's your uncle. Cheap to get. Then hook everything up to that USB hub, includi...

Curses for text-mode UI
Framebuffer SDL for graphical UI (obviously more complicated)

I'm looking to partner with Pi owners in other countries to form international 2-way SMS gateway, currently we offer service to UK numbers, but if more people got on board then this could be the start of something very useful :) All thats needed is an unlimited SMS plan, a dongle, and an internet c...

Hi -- this seems so strange that I wonder if there are any other devices in the network? When you turn off the switches and then power off your pi, the switches stay off -- right? Zwave devices "talk" to eachother when configured as such. Sensors can turn on switches etc. Also, keep an eye on your w...

The package doesn't contain the data files though -- well mine doesn't for sure, it is strictly an ARM compiled package of the dunelegacy source code. Users must obtain their own data files and place them in ~/.config/dunelegacy/data (But I see what you mean) Dave Driesen Linux dev and oldskool elite

DaveDriesen

Wow this is pretty neat, your post doesn't do it justice :) You could do all manner of things with this, basically it's an advanced selective tunneling system. Do you have some real-world implementations in mind? Also, from looking at the project, I think it could also be extended or enhanced to inc...

Myeah looks like some people have some growing up to do..

On the other hand it's not really worth QQ'ing over. There will always be haters in games based on rivalry or PvP.

Way of the world I guess. Ditch those zeroes and go hang with some heroes.

The graphics are actually pretty ok once you start playing. You'll acclimatize in no time.

The screenshot above just doesn't look like much due to the fog-of-war.

P.S. yes, C&C would be >> Dune

Updated so that the default settings do not use double buffering on the pi. This setting was hardcoded so there is a minor change in the source code compared to the base source. I've rebuilt the raspbian package: dunelegacy_0.96.3_armhf.deb Note that I'm only building the package, all the credit for...
