Folks…I’m doing something wrong, I think. I would like to have two USB memory sticks mounted at bootup on my Pi 3B running OSMC (Open Source Media Canter) . If I’m not mistaken the underlying OS is Stretch? The new USB 3 stick is 32 GB formatted vFAT. The old/current is USB 3 16 GB formatted vFat. B...
I have a Raspberry Pi Model B Plus Rev 1.2 Buster which does not always start up cleanly. If I do a sudo shutdown -h now it shuts down normally but, when I power cycle it to restart, it seems to hang with the power and CPU LED's on solid. If I power off and remove and reinstall the SD card, then it ...
Problem solved. I replaced all of the wiring between the Pi and the Nextion display and all of the issues disappeared. Thanks for your ideas and patiences...RDK
My main network is 10.0.1.0 which is firewalled from my ISP Internet connection by Router/Firewall "A". On that 10.0.1.0 network I have a WiFi router, "B", using the subnet 192.168.1.0. I already have working port forwarding which allows me to access the Pi's via SSH (port 22) from the 10.0.1.0 netw...
The Nextion support has gotten back to me and have suggested that the 5v power from the Pi is not sufficient/stable enough for the display unit. They suggest powering it from a separate 5v 2.5A wall wart. That is not a problem as I have a tester plug which will separately power the display unit. One...
I have a remote Pi 3 B (Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2, Buster) monitoring some equipment at a remote location which is not accessible to me right now. There was a lightning strike in that area which caused the Pi to need to be restarted (which it did ok) but the interface to the equipment did not return to n...
Trevor....Thanks for the clarification and the link. Right now the Nextion display is working correctly with "Pi a" after the last cold boot came up normally. Historically it runs for several days before becoming unresponsive (ie it stops listening to the serial traffic). When that happens I will re...
Trevor....OK, I'll admit it I'm new to all of this. The USB-to-Serial adapter is plugged into the Pi b and I did not think I should also have it powered from "Pi a" . Should it also be connected to the 3.3V and ground on "Pi a"?
Hippy...I will look into your ideas tomorrow.....RDK
I have putty on another Pi (AKA Pi b ) so I tried the following experiment: 1. I attached the above USB Serial adapter to Pi b and found it in the /dev/tty as ttyUSB0 2. I ran raspi-config on Pi b and enabled both serial options 3. From the " Pi a " which was controlling the Nextion (that display no...
Thanks again. Excuse me for being a bit of a novice on this but, that is just what I am!!! I have another Pi on which I can install the SIGROT software. I assume I have to modify the raspi-config setting on that Pi so it can read the serial traffic from the USB-serial device? Life is an experiment a...
Thanks for the idea. I have this serial to USB adapter (DSD TECH USB to TTL Serial Adapter with FTDI FT232RL Chip) which I think is what you were suggesting. The problem is that I'm not sure what/how to use it to debug this situation. Do I need another Pi to listen to this one during boot-up or is t...
A week or so I posted a request for members that are using a Nextion HMI display with a Pi (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=272166). I got no responses from that posting. I have furthered my experiments. The Nextion unit is a display unit which receives its instructions via a...
Dougie...Thanks, but I know what the options are. What I want is a listing/table of the current settings for those options. For example, Serial Port, time zone, over-clocking, etc....RDK
I'm looking for folks who are using the Nextion HMI displays. I'm running Buster on a Raspberry Pi B which I'm using to control a Nextion 7" HMI (P series) display. For the most part it is working but... 1. when I do a cold boot up, the display turns on when it get power from the Pi's 5v GPIO pin, t...
The usb stick is "permanently" attached to the Pi. It is a newer 16GB stick. I have this line in the /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive vfat defaults,dmask=000,fmask=111 0 3 . autofs is installed I boot to the command line. lsusb Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0781:5575 SanDisk Corp.

I have installed Buster on an older Raspberry Pi B+. It seems to be working ok, but when I look at the log (cat /var/log/syslog |grep failed) I see these "failed" messages: Mar 29 09:21:15 PiBBuster automount[418]: mount_autofs_indirect: failed to read map for /media/ Mar 29 09:21:15 PiBBuster autom...
