Re: 7" screen with raspbian wheezy

For anyone wondering, i've just tried it with the latest wheezy build from the website and it works after you run the update and upgrade commans and restart the PI

7" screen with raspbian wheezy

Has anyone gotten the screen working with raspbian wheezy? im trying to use a raspberry pi + repetier server. i can't seem to get the repetier server installed with the jessie build of raspbian, is it hard to get the screen working with wheezy and is it even possible?

Re: Sampling High Frequency

Do keep in mind that in theory you only need 2x the highest frequency you want to measure in your signal, so that would be 100kSam/s. But in practice its always a good idea to have 3-4x the highest frequency as your sample frequency. This is because when you get close to the nyquist frecuency your s...

Re: robot to reach (x,y) point on a board

you can manage to do both of them, one will be more efficient then the other. This is really something you wanna figure out on your own. Easy way to do it would be forward 1000, turn then forward 500. harder way to do it is to calculate the angle the robot has to turn and drive straight to the place...

Re: Autonomous vehicle project

You should be just fine controlling 2 motor's and various other sensors simultaniously on the pi. If you're looking to go with the ultrasonic sensors take a look at the HC-SR04. It's a very cheap, widely used ultrasonic sensor and also well suited for your application. as for the motor part. you're ...

Re: Is a transistor sufficient to switch this DC fan with PW

Don't have the schematics handy anymore but it isnt a very hard circuit to make ;-) all you need is a capacitor and a resistor. Determining what values you need for both can be done with some handy tools on the internet or values you can find on google when you search for e.g. "pwm to analog rc filt...

Re: Is a transistor sufficient to switch this DC fan with PW

you're probably better off using a mosfet instead of the transistor but i guess the diode will work fine aswell. When i used PWM to regulate the speed of a fan we also used an RC-Filter so its a steady current instead of pulse's which worked out better for us.
