Have been using a 3-port USB hub/1-port NIC connected to a Pi Zero, to provide a cabled ethernet port. All was well when only one of these hubs was active on my internal network. However, when a second Pi Zero + hub was added, there were strange problems on my network, with periods of either one or ...
I've been running two Pi Zeroes for around nine months to remotely read my electricity and gas meters. I'm using motioneyeos with a Blinkt module attached to the GPIO pins. I use crontab to switch the Blinkt on 10 seconds before each hour, shoot a still picture, then switch off Blinkt 10 seconds aft...
Been experimenting with a remote utility meter reading application for a while, using: Pi Zero Pi camera V1.3 Blinkt LED module from Pimoroni motionEysOS configured to take a still image every hour crontab configured to run python scripts to switch on Blinkt illumination just before exposure, and of...
Hi Rob, The replacement Edimax EW7811UTC adaptor is holding up extremely well, with no WiFi problems since I last posted. The adaptor is accessing a 5GHz wifi channel on my router, and is using a static IP-address. Meanwhile, after many weeks I have not seen a single wifi problem with my RPi running...
Hi Rob, Have you seen details of the /etc/modprobe.d fix in a recent post on this subject on raspihub.com here: http://www.raspihub.com/go/cb378f9e3be8620bf3597d2f1db844ca60cfff8907babe9e88bcfc0aa106f12e I've also been experiencing this problem over many months with the Edimax EW-7811Un. One strange...
After a long absence in posting on this topic earlier in the year, I'm able to report success in running several Raspberry Pi-s with either Edimax EW7811Un or Farnell WiPi wifi dongles. I'm using the 2014-09-09 version of Raspbian Debian Wheezy, no additions to modprobe.d, no need for crontab keep-a...
Downloaded ccrisan's latest 23 November MotionPie image and now have two model A+ boards successfully running with the Pi CSI camera. Haven't tried the embedded software upgrade option though. One strange observation which I don't yet have an explanation for: ccrisan's instructions state: As soon as...
Dave, I posted the item on github highlighting the problem of not being to run motionPie with a Pi CSI camera on a Pi model A+ https://github.com/ccrisan/motionPie/issues/30 Over the weekend of 22-23rd November I've spent many hours further researching this, but I'm no further forward in finding the...
A word of warning to users of the new RPi A+ of a potential problem with the USB port when used with certain USB plugs. During the setup of my first A+ two days ago, I plugged an Edimax WiFi dongle into the USB port, and found it would not mate correctly. On removing the Edimax I found that all four...
Many other RPi users (including myself) have been experiencing similar difficulties in getting WiFi dongles to work reliably on RPi. I added a post recently to the forum: "Frustrating internet unreliability from my Raspberry Pi". I have been testing several different Raspberry Pi(e)s and three diffe...
Like others posting to this forum, I’ve also experienced problems while trying to get WiFi to work reliably with the Raspberry Pi. I’ve tried many of the solutions proposed on the raspberrypi.org forums and also on many other internet forums. For example: - using the 5.2v/1.1amp port on a PiHub to s...
