Re: Ultrasonic distance measurement+ voice warning

Another duplicate post, and another question that it is impossible to answer because you have failed to format the code so that we can see the indentation which is part of the syntax of a python script. (Use the grey [

Re: What's a good X window client for Mac and PC

If my Pi doesn't have a monitor attach to it and I am using a Mac system to view it. What's good X window Client software for Mac so I can view the contents of the Pi? You don't need "X window Client software", you need an X Windows SERVER. I am not a Mac user, but I was under the impression that a...

Re: Local Images??

However, the full NOOBS installer DOES contain a compressed image of the Raspbian OS, so that th...

It won't help if you've already caused damage to either or both the RPi or the PiGlow, but the Raspberry Pi Foundation have their own tutorial for using a PiGlow addon, here.

Re: Noobs multi os query

I think I am right in saying that it uses what you might think of as 'policies' that are defined in the partitions.json file in the directory for each installed OS. This is mentioned in the documentation for installing a custom OS, here.

Re: SSH Connection refused

If the GUI on the host says the service is running but an nmap scan does not find it then I would suspect one of the following possibilities: . you have scanned the wrong host (Have you checked the network mac address associated with that IP address?) . the service on the RPi has become hung/wedged/...

Re: Formatting Settings Partition

A couple of thoughts. One is that not all SD cards are made equal, and some rogue ones simply don't work properly. Hopefully school has bought from a reputable source so that won't be the case. The second is that you need to follow the instruction to 'safely eject' the SD card after using the SD_For...

Re: Installing Pushover

At a quick glance, Pushover seems to be a web service. Are you sure you need to install anything on your RPi?

If you are sure, and the instructions use pip for the install, why not do that?

Links to the documentation/tutorials you are following might help unravel this.

Re: School Science Experiment

"School" and "grade8" may have different meanings in different parts of the world. It might be helpful to spell out the age and type of institution involved.

It would also be useful to know if this is being asked by a teacher or a pupil.
