Wireless Network Woes

Hi, Raspberry pi B+, latest Raspbian installed from Noobs. Updated with apt-get. Wireless network card = micro USB Realtek RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN adaptor. Power supply is stock Pi supply (?) (white with Pi logo) - Stontronics rated 2A @ 5V. I'm using PuTTY to SSH into the Pi, all works fine for a w...

Re: My firrst RPI project

Most of the stuff I've posted about high rates of SPI sampling acknowledge the pointlessness of sampling faster than the data can be processed. In OPs project he may be able to acquire the samples, do the maths on them, move the camera accordingly and then acquire (next set of) samples etc., etc., ...

Eli the computer guy is also very good but he's a bit more "wordy" than the others - but just as helpful.

Re: My first RPI project

I'm just guessing now... but if you wanted to find the direction of something suddenly very loud and sporadic (like a gunshot) then you could do that particular part in hardware - two microphones - to two threshold detectors - each of which output a logic 1 to a processor. The time difference betwe...

Im trying to find the direction of arrival of sound by using the GCC - Phase transform and steer a camera mounted on a bracket controlled by two servo motors based on the obtaind direction. Sorry, I've no idea what the 'GCC - Phase transform' program/project is ? Can you post a link to what you mea...

Re: My firrst RPI project

I'm aware of Nyquist criterion, the maximum frequency is about 4 kHz so 8kHz should be adequate. I don't know if RPI will tolerate more than 8kHz. Nope! 8Khz is the minimum sampling frequency in theory for a 4khz waveform so that aliasing does not occur. mikronauts is quite right in saying that in ...

Re: My first RPI project

My feeling is you should look at something with a bit more "grunt" as you say you need in real time, to acquire data from 6 A/Ds and then run FFT algorithms of some description on that data... ? If that's so, then I'd point you towards dev kits such as these - http://www.ti.com/tool/ek-tm4c123gxl or...

Re: Mounting USB flash drive

Many thanks for your detailed reply. I did say I was a complete Linux beginner :) I looked up editing fstab and found this: http://pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html I've now corrected my fstab entry to read: /dev/sda1 /home/pi/flash vfat defaults 0 0 This now mounts my flash drive into my ...

Re: My firrst RPI project

Having done a lot of embedded stuff with microchip pics, I think you will struggle getting the pi to do all of what you describe unless you're prepared to write the code in C or even assembler. That the pi doesn't have any analogue i.o is going to be a problem for you in terms of overhead. Personall...

Re: Mounting USB flash drive

Ok I did it. :D (sorry Trev, I just couldn't get your method to work) Here's what I did. 1). My flash card appears as "sda1" in folder /dev 2). pull up /etc/fstab in an editor (I used sudo nano /etc/fstab) 3). I added this line to fstab: /dev/sda1 / vfat defaults 0 3 (I chose 3 as the other devices ...

Thanks Trev, That all very looks promising. I shall read and digest!

Mounting USB flash drive

Hi all, OS is Raspbian. Pi B+ I've just started learning Linux and I'd like to mount a USB flash drive using the command line interface. Can any helpful person point me towards a suitable tutorial or at least explain the commands and the process that I will need to use? I've looked in /dev (ls /dev)...
