Thanks for the help. Because they will only run connected for at most 5 minutes a day I should be fine with the RPI running a little hot for those periods.
power supply is via a step down voltage regulator from pololu rated at 5V 2.5A continuous. Voltage I'm seeing is more like 4.96V which is within the pololu specifications. Its fed from a 12V source, sla battery. USB modem is the Huawei E182E. Specs I can find for it online state: 4.75V-5.25V / 500mA...
I have an application using a 3G USB modem, pi in a small enclosure. I'm currently supplying power to the pi through the two 5V pins on the header using a custom pcb board I built. Measuring the current and voltage using a plug in usb go between voltage/current monitor I can see how the 3G modem, wh...
It seems the issue is with the usb ethernet adapter. If I run: sudo ifdown br0 sudo ifup br0 I get my connection back. The problem with this is I temporarily drop my main ethernet connection which is not ideal. So a better solution is to just remove eth1 from the bridge and then add it back in. Voil...
I'm stumped with an occasional dropout on my bridged ethernet port. My setup is a Pi with two ethernet (one usb ethernet) and a 3G modem (ppp). I'm using a script in /etc/ppp/if-up.d to add a route (sudo route add default dev ppp0). This seems to work fine most of the time (almost all the time). How...
It seems the init-bottom-overlay script's use of ${rootmnt} was causing me some problems. On boot up I was seeing the following error: /scripts/init-bottom/init-bottom-overlay: 69: /scripts/init-bottom/init-bottom-overlay: cannot create /root/etc/fstab.org : Directory nonexistent /scripts/init-botto...
I tried an UPD stream of a .mp4 file from a computer with VLC. How can I do the same but with a RTSP stream? It could improve the quality up to my needs. I'm streaming from a dedicated ip camera. It sounds like you are trying to connect to another PC with VLC streaming out. I haven't tried this but...
Funny I thought VLC had HW acceleration as of Jessie. I just loaded Jessie this morning and tried streaming an RTSP and it worked marvellously . It would freeze before on Wheezy but now its only suffering a small lag. How would one check if it has HW acceleration built in? Ok - forget what I said. I...
Wow gotta love late nighters. I have it working and working really well. I can connect via wifi and gain access to my Pi and everything on the Pi's eth0 connection. As a bonus, I can still plug an ethernet connection from my network onto the Pi without any changes and connect to the internet. Hope t...
I just don't get it. I have a wlan0 hotspot on the Pi 2 up and running which I can connect to from my Mac/PC. Using DHCP Server and hostapd on my wireless clients I receive IP addresses in the range from 192.168.42.10 - 192.168.42.50. This works well and I can ssh into my Pi over wifi. I then set et...
