This worked - just one minor change to the instructions - where it says $HOME/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/panel instead use $HOME/.config/lxpanel/LXDE-pi/panels/panel It depends. I'm running uname -a Linux rpi2 4.1.7+ #817 PREEMPT Sat Sep 19 15:25:36 BST 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux Which is up to date, b...
Do you want to access the folder using commandline, or using the Desktop? For command line you could use a symbolic link to the USB music folder, or even an alias to provide a shortcut to the folder. If it's GUI you could put a shortcut on the Desktop, click on it and the USB music folder would open.
Is there a chance that every given time i need the required space to be available also to my SD? If you're copying the files from the SD card to the drive then the SD would have to have enough space to hold them. But if you are copying from say a USB flashdrive (or another hard drive) to the extern...
If it's a temporary setup I use one of these instead of an enclosure. Mine is a different brand but it's the same thing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=USB%20ide%20adapter&Submit=ENE It has SATA on one side and IDE on the other so it will work with either type drive, and ...
Synergy charges for the download, the software is free. They do offer an older version (for Mac, Linux, Windows) that is still a free download (v1.4), and it works fine with the RPi build in the repository (v1.3). The newer "pay to download" version won't work with the version in the repository anyw...
That will work, at least it does with Wheezy, and the LXDE configuration files seem to be the same. I'm using matchbox-keyboard rather than florence and used that method to add a "toggle" button to the launchbar. Touch it and matchbox-keyboard pops up, touch it again and the keyboard disappears. It ...
Maybe someone could explain it for me in more detail. This would be great :) When you create a mount folder it's just like any other folder. You can read/write to it whether a drive/share is mounted or not. When you mount a drive to that folder it overlays anything that is already there, so existin...
How about if you run them consecutively from the command line using "&&". Does that work? >$ modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ssd1351 buswidth=8 gpios=reset:24,dc:25 sp$ && /usr/local/bin/fbcp ^^^ That's all one line of course. If that doesn't work try adding some delay to see if it's a timing i...
The screenflip.sh ist great if I call it "./screenflip.sh" it do what it should do. Since it works from command line you've obviously made the file executable. What does your autostart file look like? Are you placing it in the global lxsession autostart in "xdg", or the users lxsession autostart in...
When I insert the micro SD card however, the voltage changes to 5.14 volts. If you're inserting and removing the SD card with the RPi powered it has possibly corrupted the files. It's not a hot-pluggable device. Put the card in then power up, and don't remove the card until you've powered down the ...
I skipped the step installing pip 7.2 from source and used the pip 1.1 already installed. sudo pip install --upgrade cython Cython install completed after that, so I installed "pygments" and "docutils" Kivy installed without a problem and I've gone through the examples and demos and it's working gre...
I'm having trouble when I get to this point. I've started over three times from the beginning and it always stops at the same place. sudo pip install cython pygments docutils Collecting cython /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatf...
I'm today got my Pi2 and I want optimize the system. Now I read a book <Raspberry Pi Practical Raspberry Pi>(Writer are Brendan Horan),the book tell me change atime to relatime is better for SD Card,but other Blog tell me use Ramlog can optimize system too(but his install Ramlog on Ubuntu). So,can ...
I had a problem with the 7" display, the glass (lens) on the front was sagging down over time to the point it wasn't usable. And I had given up on the idea of making a new improved case/stand. But I think I solved the problem with the display, so I made a trim plate to go around the USB/Ethernet por...
I think the internal pulldown is 50K, that may be too high a value for your setup. I'd try adding an external 10K pulldown resistor to pin 4 to make sure it stays low until you get the 3.3V input.
The problem with returning it is: 1) The expense of postage to send it back. 2) I don't have the original packaging, I've trimmed the standoffs, and I've pushed the screen around several times to get it back in position. They may look at it and say I've voided the warranty by tampering/modifying it,...
Mine has gotten worse. Mine has now slumped so low that anything displayed in full screen most of the title bar is off the top and out of sight, and of course the touch calibration has shifted along with it. I have to touch well below the location to get what I want. It seems that pushing it back in...
No, sorry I don't have anything specific to recommend, when I need one I look around in my parts boxes until I find one. But they are very reasonably priced. Your biggest decision will probably be the size, 3mm, 5mm, etc. You won't want it a lot larger than the LED you're monitoring, as you will nee...
A phototransistor and a resistor is probably all you'll need, the rest will be done in programming. Watch this video, especially the last third, it will show an example of using a phototransistor to provide a high/low signal to a GPIO pin when it senses light. Your script can monitor that input pin ...
