Could you suggest where I could purchase one in the UK.?

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to get WiFi on the Zero Pi by USB or otherwise. If so can they explain How.? I know that there are WiFi Usb dongles on the market but most seem to need to run a a program on a supplied CD and which are aimed at Windows laptop users.

I have been using Sonic Pi successfully until yesterday. I have purchased a PHat Dac board and yesterday installed it on my Pi3, after which Sonic Pi no longer runs. It load the Title page and just sits there for some time and then clears itself from the screen. No matter what I click nothing happen...

I have just installed a PHatDac board on to Pi3 and now Sonic Pi will not run. The Titlle page for Sonic Pi appears but then sticks and after waiting a while it disappears without running. Can anyone suggest a way of retreiving it so itruns properly again. ?

Sorry JVR about the private message. I am pretty new to this so so please excuse my ignorance. Many thanks for the URL to your site , it looks very interesting an informative. I will explore it more tomorrow when I have more time.

Thank you Jamesh and Heater for your helpful replies. I will download what you have suggested and try them out. I will let you know my findings and results of my investigtions with them in due course.

First of all thanks to everyone who has contributed to my original post. But I am afraid none of the answers actually answers my requirements. My position is this :- I have written several sketches in C++ for the Arduino and have found them easy to implement on the Arduino Uno. Now that I have just ...

Thanks everyone for those replies. To B.Goode if the compilers are already there, how does one access them and run the compiled code.? Forgive my ignorance but I am fairly new user of the Pi3 and am still finding my way around it. I have plenty of experience of programming in several languages but n...

RasperryPi seems to be setup for easy programming development in Python, but other programming languages seem to be have little or no facilities for easy program development. Are there any provisions for C++ or Java program development.?

fotoartist78

Many thanks Joan for that info and links. I will look into those and see if they fit my needs. I will let you know in due course if I have any success.

Does anyone know of available IR decoding software for using a !R Receiver 1838 module on a Pi 3. Also which GPIO pins on the Pi 3 that could be capable of decoding the IR received signal.? I have used this module with success on an Arduino Uno and wish to try it on the Pi 3.

fotoartist78

On the Pi3 can sound be output via a USB port to Usb speakers. Is any software required. ?

fotoartist78

Okay, you want to read an IR remote control signal. Most people would install the LIRC package (sudo apt-get install lirc). If you want a light weight solution you could try my IR Receiver Python module. . I have downloaded the 'lirc' module as you suggested but I cannot see how to use it as there ...

Can anyone tell me where I can find detailed reference info on what the purpose is for all the GPIO pins. ?

Many thanks 'buja' for reply and info. I did not realise that it was already part of Raspbian although not immediately visbible.

Can anyone tell me where I can obtain the APP the Gimp for use on Raspberry Pi. I believe it is available but I do not know where to obtain it. ?

fotoartist78

Many thanks Joan and B.Goode for replies. In reply to Joan :- I have an IR detector with 3 legs which I have used previously on the Arduino with a numeric handheld push button control which when a button is pressed sends a code to the IR detector. This is then decoded in program on the Arduino Uno i...

Does anyone know if there is an IR detector and code libraries for us on Pi 3? If so can they please tell me where I can obtain it. ?

fotoartist78

Where can I find a list of terminal commands. ?

fotoartist78

I have an old USB Drive for the old small floppy discs and I am able to see folders on it on Pi 3. Could I format these discs for Pi via the USB port.? If this is the case then what commands should I enter on the Terminal ?

fotoartist78

Thanks rpdom. That is exactly what I was hoping and you have confirmed my thoughts.

fotoartist78

Thanks Mahjong for reply. If that is the case could I use a USB Wifi to drive the Wifi keyboard and mouse and if so would the operating system automatically detect them or would they need to be setup in software.?

fotoartist78

I have just purchased a Pi3 and as I understand it has Wifi built in. Can a Wifi keyboard and Wifi mouse be used with this and if so do they need to be setup in the operating system. ?
