Im working on a project where space is a little tight. Im using a Sainsmart 7" touch TFT which is connected via HDMI. Quite a few of the connections between the Pi and the TFT are unused, im looking to make up a cable which has just the bare minimum of connections between the Pi and the TFT, does an...

Well a few days later and im no further forward, im hitting errors even at the first stage of the link on the page from mitchtech, im getting the error "couldnt find any package by reglex 'gcc-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi' Reading down that page, i read its something to do with updating to 12.04lts and her...

Hello Dirk, Its not so much the error messages, its the actual install instructions ive found on many sites and many posts. Most ive read, 'assume' you know something, so they miss the very basics out. Unfortunately for me, that just adds to the confusion. Im just hoping that somewhere there may be ...

Can someone help me before this problem drives me insane? I am pretty new to Linux, and Raspbian generally. Ive purchased the Sainsmart 7" TFT with the D-WAV Scientific eGalax touch panel. The instructions that came with it, dont make a lot of sense and ive spent some 2 days now Googling and trying ...

The monitor i have with the Pi is actually just a simple video monitor and is connected to the Pi via the HDMI interface, the touch screen module comes with a USB interface and drivers. My experience in C is virtually zero, I have a lot of experience in BBC basic and Sinclair basic, but thats about ...

Hello Gordon, Your reply certainly gave me food for thought, and i downloaded the manual for further reading. What im trying to do, hardware wise, is the following...Read the touch screen panel on a 7" TFT, directly control a serial 1.8" TFT display, control 4 electronic variable resistors via I2C o...

Thank you for the reply B.Goode, i didnt realise straight away that the Pi didnt natively support analog. Some of the functions needed will use analog, such as radio signal strength, or varying a voltage level. I wondered if it would be easier all around if i used theArduino flavoured Teensey 3 simp...

Sorry for the delay in responding. I found the Arduino setup a total illogical confusion, just when you thought you have mastered things, then the goalposts moved. Im working on a project which is Amateur Radio orientated. The project itself isnt really processor intensive, im simply adding a 'flash...

After many months of wasting my time with Arduino's and coming to the conclusion that they are just a pain, i threw the towel in and bought a RaspberryPi. I liked the choice of languages, and must admit, i cut my teeth with basic, especially Sinclair basic, basic is something i understand. Now im a ...
