yes i did mean iw From linux wiki: About iw: iw is a new nl80211 based CLI configuration utility for wireless devices. It supports all new drivers that have been added to the kernel recently. The old tool iwconfig, which uses Wireless Extensions interface, is deprecated and it's strongly recommende...

Borked comes from the Swedish Chef on the Muppet Show and a typographical error from "borken", so it's a word of American origin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Chef http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=borked ~cool, you know, I haven't thought about that character for a long while....

You may not be doing anything wrong.

If the build process need 4.7, and the latest repo has 4.6, I'm not sure what you do... wait till 4.7 is available!

Maybe you could build it on a PC (cross compile and move it over?)

Mine is showing g++ 4.6.3-14

Actually , people have completely borked their Pi1 systems because of this after innocently adding debian.org to their sources.list and doing an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ... :lol: Thanks ghans, I needed that this morning. I usually say, "bonked," but 'borked' gets the point across... and t...

The RTL8188cus is a RealTek device... your dmesg and lsusb are reporting the same device correctly. I don't think you mean iw command; maybe you mean the iwconfig command?

What does your iwconfig command show?

What do you guys recommend me to use for this projects? Raspberry pi or just a simple microcontroller like a pic microcontroller or others? Check out the pyboard and micro python: https://micropython.org/ The pyboard has enough power to do many things native (all by itself) and it does have adc and...

I might try to use the task manager just in case you can change the priority like I usually do on my linux laptop. If there is a way . . . sudo apt-get install htop Your can change the (NI) niceness of the process with htop: use f8+ and f7- To use f7- you will have to run htop with sudo. From htop ...

What errors do you get on step three (3) ?

If you want to use a touch screen with the Raspberry PI there are several options... google is our friend.

On page 10 of the datasheet for the tmp102 (the sparkfun sen-11931 uses) you will find the address scheme: Up to four of these devices may be connected on the i2c bus... if you connect the A0 pin to one of the following you will get the associated address: 1001000 gound 1001001 V+ 1001010 SDA 100101...

No.

I have no trouble in NOOBS/Raspbian. Any thoughts? You're going to hate this answer... use NOOBS/Raspbian... in fact, just use Raspbian; stop bonking around with the other OS(s) until such time as you can setup a modern hdmi display. If you can get Raspbian to work with vga, why fight the problem?

MarkHaysHarris777

Ah, error messages are helpful. Is it possible you missed a step in the instructions, possibly sudo apt-get install vlc Nope had done that. Did it again just in case, same error. If the error is that the module vlc is not found, and you are sure that you installed it, then the problem is your pytho...

What does ifconfig show?

sudo ifconfig

?

Your errors are classic C compile time errors when the compiler finds missing semi colons ;

Your code has several obvious missing semi colons ;

The structure (style) you have chosen is difficult to read, and has probably led to coding errors and logic errors.

The cookbook approach to projects is usually not a good idea, unless you already know what you're doing. This is just a general statement that I find to be true. The answer is start debugging. What happens instead-- any error messages? ... any misbehaviors? Have you been able to code gpio control (b...

how can i have a raspberry pi read a hobbyking recierver, i know this involves reading the pwm and how would i do that You must measure the time difference between the rising and falling edges of the pwm signal. An alternative would be to average the signal and read it with an Analog to Digital Con...

Hi everybody, I have a strange problem when I use the GUI when starting the X server. I added a new user and added it in sudour, then started startX and now my top menu bar is flashing white every second with no buttons appearing, it does work however in the pi account though. I don't know what wen...

I copied some of the old 'interfaces' parameters like address, netmask, and gateway. It seems to work, but hostname -I says I have two IPs. I only have a ethernet connected. No wifi. What's the proper configuration for static IP for just eth0 now? I'm not sure what you're asking. Normally, you will...

Please let me know what you use this for, and if you think there are any features you think it might be interesting or useful to add to a simple Basic interpreter for the Pi. hi Ron, for many years I have used Chipmunk BASIC as an educational tool in the same spirit of the original authors (Kemeny ...

I've been looking around and haven't been able to find any terminal emulator software for my Raspberry Pi 2. If you are talking about finding an ssh terminal emulator to use on Windows to talk to your RPi, then yes, Putty is the solution almost everyone uses. If you are talking about a terminal emu...

I have a RPi B version 2 . . . Is it recommended to [put] heatsink(s) on various ICs? No. All of my PI(s) are encased; I use the translucent case from Element14 for my PI(b+)s and my PI(2B)s. They are 'ON' 24x7x365 most headless just silently clicking away (all passive cooling) and they barely get ...

hi, since getting the font problem straightened out on my PI(b+) also, I decided to run sierpinski.bas on both PI(b+) and PI(2B) for a comparison because sierpinski ties up one core, and also ties up the gpu: each machine is plotting 77,000 random points to the BASIC X graphics canvas: PI(b+) : 73 s...
