Hi there, I have just created a new image 4.4.38 and for the life of me I cannot make my RasClock V5 module work, I've followed the instructions here https://afterthoughtsoftware.com/products/rasclock but I cannot make it retain the time when powered down. Replacement battery, replacement module - n...

Hi Dougie, that's all great thank you for that, some very interesting and clever stuff.

I am still keen to work out why I can't make the listener.deactivate function work properly if anyone has any pointers.

Cheers

Hi there I'm trying to make this little python script run a little museum installation. Premise being you Pi boots and sets the experience, press the buttons the lights change audio plays and video media player is triggered. Once presentation complete Pi returns to standby state. I can make the even...

Thanks to the code here https://github.com/ibanezmatt13/NORB i've got it all working I had to take the TX from the Pi to the RX of the GPS. All i need now is a clear day to send it all to space.

Thanks for that I already had the gpsd bit working. But don't know how to write the GPS info to a file then shut down gpsd to use the port to transmitt the data with tty.

Is the ambient noise around the breakfast bar too loud for your hearing impaired user to distinguish the conversation by using the microphones within the hearing aids?

Smart really smart!

Hi Dan, thanks for that I'm fairly sure SQL will just melt my head right now but thanks for te input I'll check it out.

So in order to transmit the GPS data I'm assuming I'll need to; get GPS NMEA data write it to a file read file transmit to ttyAMA0 I'm trying to use the Following taken from http://www.danmandle.com/blog/getting-gpsd-to-work-with-python/ to print the gps data to a text file. import os from gps impor...

Here's a quick one would it be possible to send the contents of a text file to the serial port with this code?

Brew

Excellent thank you for that it's a triumph. now I just need to work out how to parse the gps data. I believe I need to get the lat and long from the GPS NMEA data from the RX side of the port at 9600kps parse it some how to the radio transmitter running at 50kps Any top tips greatly appreciated. Ch...

Thanks rurwin,

I have pySerial installed but can't work out the command to use and I can't find echo or ttyAMA0 on the pySerial wiki.

It is just because I am new.

Hi there I'm trying to send information to a radio transmitter I have connected to the serial port of my pi.

From the prompt I can use;
"echo hello world > /dev/ttyAMA0"

How do I achieve the same thing from within a python script?

Cheers

This loops indefinitely. import os from time import sleep while(True): import time import datetime date = datetime.datetime.f...

Hi there in a ideal world your RPi will need to be physically connected to a network with internet access in order for it to be able to connect to the internet and the apt-get function to work. It is possible at the moment you are operating two networks one in which your laptop is wireless connected...

Thanks kaos for that info so what I have now is import time import datetime import os image_num = 1 date = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.time()).strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S") strImage = str(image_num) os.system("raspistill -o image" + strImage + ".jpg") print date How do i get the date and ti...

Hi there, I have a project I'd like to do where I take time lapse for a period of time then switch to video then back to time lapse. There are a fair few tutorials on scripting for X time take Y pictures. Here's a great example from Andrew Mulholland https://github.com/gbaman/RaspberryPi-Camera/blob...
