So when i start scanning for Bluetooth devices like: and I get a bunch of MAC addresses. I realize these are all Bluetooth devices "nearby" but what am I actually seeing?

Is it only showing devices that are in "discovery" mode?

So, I am running Jessie (still). And it looks like 8.11 was the last stable version.
I did the apt-get update/upgrade followed by the dist-upgrade.

lsb_release says I am running 8.0

That doesn't seem like the latest version of Jessie.

What am I missing?

So, I am building a camera app. Basically want the camera to display the image on the PI screen until I press a button. I am using raspistill to accomplish this: raspistill -w 1024 -h 768 -o image.jpg -t 9999 -tl 0 However what it is doing is jumping between preview mode and displaying the image it ...

So, I've updated my Pi3 and am looking for proper instructions for getting OpenCV installed and running on it. So far I've gone through three different (though similar) set of instructions, both failed in slightly different ways. Anyone have anything that they know works with current Jessie? Thanks ...

Yea, that would be the easy path. I just have a lot of stuff on it already, don't want to have to start from scratch.

I'll try other suggestion here and see how that goes.

I am running (I think) Raspian Lite (no desktop). I figured the path to Pixel was to install LXDE and then do upgrade. That didn't seem to work.

What's the path for me to go from my Raspian Lite -> Pixel exactly?

Sure, totally understand.

I was able to get the package via wget from a different machine, and I pushed it to my Pi^2.

I assume I can just do a dpkg -i <file> and install it that way for now?

Sort of. Not getting server error 500 anymore but it seems like the connection timesout and I see repeated gets: The following packages will be upgraded: wolfram-engine 1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Thanks, please let me know when I should try again. Should I try to wget and install manually? Or just sit tight?

Just now, been trying for maybe an hour? Here's what I see: 500 Internal Server Error [IP: 93.93.128.230 80] E: Failed to fetch http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/w/wolfram-engine/wolfram-engine_10.3.1+2016012407_armhf.deb 500 Internal Server Error [IP: 93.93.128.230 80] E: Unable to fe...

I am in the process of doing a dist-upgrade. Looks like everything downloaded OK with the exception of the wolfram-engine

I keep getting server error 500 or really slow response which just stops after a number of retries.

Should I just keep trying? Or is there some other fix for this?
