I have recently bought a 7" color tft display. I have Retro Pi 2.3 on my Pi. The resolution is horrible on the display (480x234) So if someone could please tell me how to set my Pi to this resolution and maybe set the size of the text on the command line I would be very happy! :lol: P.S. I have...

It is the new layout (Sorry if this was already figured out) I don't like it but it looks pretty cool I guess.

Good luck!

a raspberry pi that plugs into a pci slot like a video card that assist your cpu or that you could send it task to complete so it dosent slow down your main cpu kinda of like with multicpu supercomputers don't really think that a bus on the pi would be fast enough to do this. Also you wouldn't get ...

Can this be done on raspian though? I like raspBMC but it is a little slow.

Well according to https://www.diamondmm.com/tvw600usb-ati-amd-tv-wonder-hd-600.html there are drivers for Windows 7 unless you're using 64bit version. I also understand that Windows 7 does provide some level of backwards compatibility for Vista drivers so in failing that try the Vista 64bit ones. A...

So I have this USB ATI TV Wonder 600 series (I think this is the name) It's usless to me on my pc because the drivers are no longer made for windows 7 ( They never were) So I wan't to know what I will need. Will I need to get drivers, what software is needed to view the tv? Thanks!! :D Edit* I'm pre...

Current must be measured in series with the intended load connected.

Yes I know. I blew the fuse unintentionally from a few months ago and forgot :p

I am using a old 350 watt I got from a discarded windows vista computer. My multimeter broke (blew the fuse) so I couldn't check the amperage from the PSU

Well I am already using the supply in the project I just wanted to take advantage of it.

Many people use the 5V standby power line from an ATX power supply instead of the main 5V. The standby line has enough power to supply the RPi and it is always on even with the main power supply switch is turned OFF. No fans blowing and no worry about a minimum load to start it up. If you use the m...

Hi, I always supply it via a power connector. The reason is that when you feed the RasPi via this USB power connector, its protection is in place (over-voltage, over-current). When feeding the RasPi elsewhere (GPIO or USB ports), this protection is bypassed... Best wishes, Ivan Zilic. Ah ok thank y...

frolen13

Also can I feed the 5v directly down the GPIO?

frolen13

Can I power the pi with the supply the 5 volts coming from the supply is at 22.0 amps how will the pi like that? It SHOULD say "Thanks, may I have more?"... Unless something is really unusual, the Pi will take what it needs and leave the rest for your external peripherals... Thanks bro!

frolen13

Ok so I am working on a project that involves a computer power supply. Can I power the pi with the supply the 5 volts coming from the supply is at 22.0 amps how will the pi like that? Will it fry it lol thx

Code: Select all

You can use direct URLs with youtube-dl , but perhaps yt only understands
search queries (the things you usually type into the search box at youtube.com)

Thanks man I'll be sure to try this soon!
