Re: Unable to connect to Raspberry Pi Zero through usb using default username and password

Maybe you are running Manjaro on your PC (with a GeForce 1050 graphics card)? And then trying to connect to pi zero.

Re: Rasp Pi Dashboard / Personal Calendar / etc?

I use infrared from a pi to control my TV, sound bar and satellite tuner, and openhab2 on a pi3 to control smart lights via mqtt commands (and Alexa) so you could do that and open a web page you create containing google calendar, news etc. Openhab2 can know what time sunrise is in your location.

Re: Beginner's Project - already ran into trouble

Ok MySQL has (sort of) been replaced with mariadb as that is open source (good). It is almost identical. Let me check commands later.
Forget about pihole for now.

Re: Beginner's Project - already ran into trouble

Login as pi

Code: Select all

cd /var/www/html
Then use nano editor (or other) to create index.php as per the tutorial
You should then have just index.php in that directory.

Re: Help in Building a new OS for car infotainment system

I would go with a prototype using the standard RaspiOS, add a few media player icons (e.g. VLC for videos etc.) and figure out how to power it down correctly when turning off the ignition.

Re: Connecting Pi 4 to Laptop?

Laptop USB port might not be enough to power the pi4, so yes, get an official pi power supply.

Re: I want to create a cycle timer when a pressing a single button, can this be done?

Yes you can do that. E.g. a python script that detects the button press and remembers the number of presses so far. Press 1 gives 30 min, then off, next press is press 2 so that is 1 hour on then off, etc.

Re: How to set speakers on raspberry

If you have a spare microSD card, put Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) with desktop (Buster) on it using Raspberry Pi Imager, then right mouse click on the speaker icon at the top right of the menu bar and select "AV Jack" (not HDMI). Let us know if that works.

Re: Linux WIFI Not Supported by Spectrum/Charter?

Their site says you can use your own router, so maybe place theirs in a cupboard and connect your own (another one) which works with your WiFi setup e.g. you can have WPA or none security? Or plug another router into a LAN port on their router and configure it as an Access Point (i.e. Using DD-WRT) ...
