If your RPi is for standalone/isolated use so that security is not a concern, and you have a mature application so that you don't need to do any development, and performance is not an issue - why not revert to the version of the system that has apparently served you well for years? I am seriously c...

So I have been running Pi for a camera to monitor for deliveries for years (drivers dont brave our Corgis). I recently upgraded the Pi I am using for this purpose to the latest version of Raspbian. It was a huge mistake for my use. The current version of raspbian is very stubborn about dropping to e...

I see there has been at least one other thread on this but I would like to ask a few questions. Are the Pi camera lenses glass or plastic? Do they have any UV protection? One of my Pi's primary duties is so I can see in front of my home while I am working to watch for deliveries and to make sure nob...

Two changes in latest version. Web interface now puts up a confirm box when Reset settings is pressed. A uconfig.bak file is created from current one before it is cleared. Thank you for this! Sorry my first chance to get back to this thread since I posted. Also when I have motion setting set for Ex...

Been using this software a long time now and I just have to say the Reset Settings button, I hate it with a passion. Several times I have wiped my settings on accident when trying to reboot from the button next to it. Any chance you could change it to back the settings up before it wipes?

[quote="W. H. Heydt"] With Adafruit, did you scroll down to the end of the listing of shipping options? As I recall, USPS is at the bottom of the list and is the cheapest option. Unless Adafruit is treating Georgia like a third world country with a dodgy postal system... [quote] http://imgur.com/a/d...

Say, what? Where did you get the idea that the Pi Zero isn't made on the same line as other Pis? That they *are* made on the same line as other Pis is part of the problem. Ahh I see clarification here. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=138564 So the majority of the PI are buil...

rahlquist

Thanks everyone. I guess the bottom line is the Pi Zero is an anomaly they threw us as a bone. The sad part is the goal of the Pi foundation could be so much better met by making more product available in this case. I understand there are logistics and production issues as its not made on the same p...

Well it's 2 per day if you order from both http://thepihut.com and http://pimoroni.com Note that Western Digital now has a supply of pizero which it's selling with a HDD and interface - the Node Zero: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=171736 Kinda part of my point.

So the last big thread I saw on this was locked down in August. So I again through out the question; Any chance of the order limits being lifted soon? Anyone have any insight? I see it looks like Adafruit is OOS again. I'm not looking for commercial purchase quantities but to be able to buy 5-10 wou...

Finally made the 82 mile trip to Microcenter to get a Pi Zero for my collection (anyone know if the qty limit will ever get lifted?). Looking at the Redbear PHat for it and was wondering if anyone could share how it works for them?

DougieLawson, your opinion would be appreciated

Gotta say this is one of those incredibly frustrating things. I tried to get some discussion going on this, and my post was moved to that locked and horribly broken Android area (admins if you don't see the android forum as broken try logging in as a regular non admin user). I understand why up til ...

The infamous XBOX "red ring of death" was allegedly caused because the company that made them used lead free solder without knowing how to handle it, and handled it as if they were using leaded solder. In the industry lead free solder is now widely accepted, so get used to it staying around, ROHS w...

I've been enjoying playing with the PI for several years now and have 3 generations of the main board on hand and 2 Pi foundation cameras and 1 3rd party camera and I have a request for any future design of the PI camera module. Please consider making the changes needed to the PI cam PCB to allow fo...

It is not necessary for you to buy a IR filter to add,it just can buy a LENS with IR filter,normally there are 650nm 850nm 940nm ir filter. Recently I found a store with so many lenes,I found one for my gopro.also it has good price. http://www.cctvopticallens.com/Board-Lenses.html Thanks for the st...

I have tried M12 lenses from wide to telephoto, f=2.5 mm up to f=22mm and they all work, some are more blurry than others; none of them are as crisp as the factory-stock lens. Almost all the lenses I have tried are relatively fast (f/1.4 up to f/2.2) and inexpensive (< $12). I am sure you can get b...

jbeale,

Which M12 lenses have you tried? Are any as good and as wide angle as the OEM? I just ordered the M12 IR Swtiched filter.

Thanks!

Hello, Recently I decided to throw a DH11 on my older Pi B. The problem is I get lots of errors no matter whose code I use or how much of a delay I implement between readings. While not earth shattering its annoying. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why something like this would happen? For refer...

Thanks guys. I'll stick with usb but will replace the cable with 20awg or better. I was going to buy a few of these https://www.adafruit.com/products/2789 but the cheapest shipping option was $9+ and they can cram that. Priority mail is cheap and easy but they don't even go there. So I orderd 5 from...

Hello, So I have been playing with the Pi for quite a bit, both the Model B and now the Pi 2. Since the Pi 2 came out I had fed it with a 12v 2A power supply dropped through a module very much like this one ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/5V-USB-Converter-DC-7V-24V-to-5V-3A-Step-Down-Buck-KIS3R33S-Module-...

In the upgraded version there is now the facility to keep the capture as a local operation and then box the file to its final destination. This can help a lot with remote mounts. There is also the facility to run job macros at the end of raw capture and at the end of boxing operations so that proce...
