Hello All, I'm running a few scripts on the RPI, but suddenly I got an issue. First script creates an interrupt if the doorbell rings and triggers the wireless telephones to ring. (We don't hear the doorbell when outside etc.) Second scripts reads out energy consumption at 21 o'clock, 0 o'clock, and...

This does not work anymore, It works when you change the code, not the timeout value because it is a default value when no argument is given. The real timeout comes from : /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py class WebDriver(RemoteWebDriver): # There is no n...

I was not aware of that functio, will try it but i'm not sure it will work.

Thanks, This is new to me, maybe try this offsets. #define UART0_BASE (piPeriphBase + 0x201000) #define UART1_BASE (piPeriphBase + 0x215000) Not sure if it is using UART0 or UART1. I think we are using PL011. Mini: offset = 0x7E 215000 PL011: 0x7E 20100 , see page 177 Typo in the code or datasheet?

Hello, I have a RPi2 and want to have access to the UART registers. I've made my own PCB with as an interface board suited for my needs. On this board there is a RS485 IC (MAX3485), but this needs an additional output to switch between RX/TX mode (half duplex communication). So I have to check the T...

Hello, I'm running OpenVPN on a RPi in a datacenter, I got 100 mbit up and 100 mbit down, this speed is verified with a speedtest. I'm running OpenVPN for access my shares, browsing the internet. The configuration works as expected. Now... The speed is very slow. I've tried a lot but I can't improve...

honda4life

I agree.

But I am responsible for the data that's being received or sent over the internet.
Setting up a VPN and doing very bad "anonymous" things on the internet... that's a big personal risk.

Okay, hosting the images of the raspberry pi seems one thing as long as I have storage enough.
But what's the benefit, I think there are quite a lot seeds of the images.

The pi isn't very fast, I know, the connectivity is the real deal

Hi, I have a raspberry pi in colocation, so it's always on. Very useful to me, but quite a lot idle time, so that could be better. I'm searching for some suggestions, how to get the most out of it. I was thinking on a bitcoin miner, or something like that, but I guess it's not worth it. Maybe there ...

Hello,

I want to use automated form filling on a webpage with a Pi.
Something like iMacros addon for firefox.
I'm using Python Curl and Beatiful Soup to do the necessary things, but I'm hoping there is a better way.
Any suggestions, because it's very difficult this way.

Thank you!

Hello, I've tried to set up a VPN-server for someone's business trips. Because too much normal things are blocked now. I did a dual config with PPTP and OpenVPN PPTP works very slow on my own computer and his computer. OpenVPN works great on my computer, but there is still a problem on his computer ...

if [ ${#data} -gt 0 ]; then
data="$data\n"
fi
data="$data$sensor,$temp"
done

echo -e $data
data=$(echo -e $data)

works

honda4life

This is where it happens, echo is OK Echo to the data variable is the solution? if [ ${#data} -gt 0 ]; then data="$data\n" fi data="$data$sensor,$temp" done echo -e $data When looking at the data received at xively: 28-000004eef0d4,28.062\n28-000004eec74b,31.062 Maybe it's better...

Think that isn't an issue.

Hello, I can't figure out how to add a \n to the end of a string. The purpose is to build a very simple csv string. I did some research on the net but it isn't clear. I've read some things with 'echo -e' but bash isn't that simple as python etc. If the variable > 0 (has data), add a \n before adding...

I've used this tutorial as a starting point: http://binerry.de/post/25787954149/pcd8544-library-for-raspberry-pi#disqus_thread It works, after some try and error, but I have a strange reset issue. When the reset is connected, the display works very short as is should be, and is blank afterwards. Whe...

Hello. I'm trying to get a ST7920 display (12864ZW) working in serial mode. This is a 128x64 display, so quite a lot of information can be displayed. I'm using serial mode, so number of GPIO's are limited to the minimum. A fist try was with SPI, but that didn't work, so I'm trying to bitbang the ser...

honda4life

Hello, I was wondering what's the best all round GPIO library for C. The basic idea is writing one "background" handler to handle a 128x64 display. with some general information about te pi, and some various program inputs. It's a ST7920 display, not the most easy job to interface, but tha...

Hello, I'm planning to using a 128x64 LCD display, I want to show some data from other programs. I was thinking to run this task in the background with some different screens. For example: Screen 1: CPU load, memory usage, disk usage, network usage. Since this is general information, this is polled ...

The suppliers aren't paying your power bill, so that is of no benefit to the Foundation (at least, not for that reason). This is a small thing you can to to help "saving" the environment just a little bit more without personal drawbacks. Run command: sudo ifdown eth0 Chip is still a bit h...

My Pi was broken, not the whole pi but the ethernet part. It was one of the first pi's, ordered in the UK, shipped to Belgium. I contacted the Belgium distributor, but they said I should contact the UK distributor. Very kind people and quick responses. They sent UPS to pick up my raspberry pi for fr...

Cheap improvements:
- More efficient power regulators, when always on the cost is earned back quite fast.
- Possibility to shut off ethernet.
- RTC

More expensive improvements.
- Wifi / Bluetooth chip

Hello everyone, I'm trying just for fun to reach the write limit of an old SD card (256MB) since it has no longer any use. I can't find a brand on the card, and it's an old card that was used in an old GPS. I hope this wil show that write limit of SD cards aren't the issue. I've made a batch script ...
