When we construct metal encased systems we are required to create a single main earth stud, typically a larger diameter than all the others. To this is tied the incoming mains earth, or in the case of industrial or marine systems a separate earth strap to an earth bar or the hull. All other panels o...

Burnt a new image to the card and everything is back to normal.

Very strange!

Mortimer

Afraid so. I just use it for tinkering. I did at least change the password

I'm just going to burn a new image to the card. I just wanted to try and understand what had happened.

Mortimer

It's a drop down box, and isn't complaining that the password entered is wrong. It just goes back to the login dialogue every time. If I deliberately put the wrong password in, it tells me the password was wrong and asks me to try again.

Mortimer

I hadn't sat at my Pi for a couple of days, so I thought I would do an update. So I did a reboot first. This took longer than usual, and rather than boot to desktop as it usually did, it presented a login box, with a drop down set to "Pi". I put in the password, the screen goes black, the login dial...

As I pointed out years ago children can not use this site. They can not agree to the terms and conditions. That doesn't mean that they don't though, and I recall that we have had people under the age of 14 posting here in the past. That would be like saying building site contractors don't need to w...

Appears to be installed by default too.
I just typed "smartsim" into the command line out of curiosity and SmartSim appeared on the screen.

Mortimer

Is there an answer as to whether or not this affects/breaks the "Report this post" function?

Mortimer

How does that affect the "Report this post" button?
I can't recall if I have ever used it here, but in forums I have moderated in the past, the reporting mechanism used the PM system. Will that at least work between user reporting posts and moderators/admins?

Crikey...
Stick one of these over the 5V GPIO pins, and problem solved...

Can't see your diagram.
Is the link broken?

My first exposure to computing was back in secondary school in the early 80's. I joined a coding club, and the only thing we had access to was a single teletype terminal. At the start of the sessions the ritual was to pick up an old GPO style telephone, dial a number, wait for the screeching at the ...

Probably not that important, but although the section has been removed from the electronic version of the magazine, the contents pages haven't been updated, so this stills shows "Make A Wifi Desk Lamp 50". There are no pages 50 and 51, the numbers go straight from 49 to 52. Surprised not to see a wa...

In my opinion Maplin has been sliding downhill for quite a long time. When I first started using Maplin it was a rather large paper catalogue, which not only listed components and prices but had a lot of information about those components with circuit ideas and interesting diagrams. I used to spend ...

If it helps I got one of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Vention-HDMI-to-VGA-adapter-Digital-to-Analog-Video-Audio-Converter-Cable-1080p-for-Xbox-360/32792577173.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.MEKJvr Works a treat. I got the one with audio and power. It has so far worked fine without the addition...

You have more than one brain! Lucky you!

I would still buzz them out, it is not unknown for wires to be swapped in low cost Chinese sourced components.

There might be a problem using that board with 24V lamps. The board appears to require 12Vdc to drive the output stage and this is coupled with the + output connections. The optoisolator output stage may be tolerant to 24Vdc on the Vpp rail, but I would worry about the mosfet gate voltage being a li...

I use a RPi3 as a VNC client for an ESXi box. It didn't work reliable over wifi, so I through I would try this out. I am now getting "Turn Off Wifi - No APs found - scanning..." constantly in the menu bar. Reverted to the original firmware and that is doing the same. So I might have a different issue.

Mortimer

Now he is a celeb', how long before we see him on 'Strictly'?

Mortimer

Amazing and awesome.

I agree the RPi sound is surprisingly warm.

I would love to see a video about how you did this. What tools and techniques? What software? How long it took? etc...
