Re: Raspberry pi system ready LED

GPIOs 14 and 15 are by default setup to be used as the UART pins, but they can also just be used as ordinary GPIO pins.
Each GPIO pin can be configured as an input, as an output, or as one of (up to) 6 ALT functions :geek:

Re: Interfacing a Video Decoder with CSI-2 Ouput

The problem with the Foundation camera is not with image quality but the casing. Designing a camera head that works in all weather conditions is not an easy task. You have to use a proper lens, seal the camera unit, put a heater for fog elimination, use an IP67 case, etc. There is no need to reinve...

Re: Don't know whats partition expand in Gparted

Looking at your image, you've actually used NOOBS to install 3 separate operating systems onto your SD card. So it's not surprising that you've run out of space! You'll need to press SHIFT at power-on to access NOOBS's recovery menu, and then install *just* the OS you want to use. But doing so will ...

Re: Pi NoIR camera as a V4L module?

As far as the software on the Pi is concerned, there's absolutely no difference between the 'regular' Raspberry Pi camera and the NoIR Raspberry Pi camera (the Pi can't even tell the difference!). So all the tutorials about using V4L with the regular Pi camera will work just as well with the Pi NoIR...

Re: HDMI & /boot/config.txt problem

Odd. Perhaps it's your monitor that is getting "confused" though and not your Raspberry Pi? (I guess you could try unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable in both the "correct" and "wrong" display situations and see if that makes any difference?) Why do you need to set such a strange resolution? Ma...

Re: What OS I should use for my application

IMHO if you're "new on Raspeberry Pi world" you'll find things much easier if you start out with Raspbian, as there's much more help / instructions / tutorials available for it. Have a go at developing your project with it, and you can always then migrate it to ArchLinux later if you need a bit of a...

Re: help to speedup code 'read csv to png'

Any reason to use pg.ptime.time() rather than the more commonly used time.time() ? I guess you could have 'import time' as the first line of your program, and then (using time.time) you'd be able to time how long it takes to do the other imports? And as well as timing the individual sections, it's p...
