Latest raspbian (Sep 2017) is Chromium set to Duck Duck Go, with h264ify and uBlock Origin extensions installed.

Probably the best thing everyone can do, is contribute well written guides on how to easily configure and install their software of choice, and keep them up to date. Also, upstreaming changes and maintaining packages. Installing should be as simple as sudo apt-get install fancy-new-package . If not,...

Hi Lucy, when you say the new book will be available shortly, do you have a rough idea when that might be? Like in days, weeks, or a month? Thanks!

SD corruptions seems likely.

Are you overclocked on processor, or SD reading? If so, unoverclock, or even underclock, see if it boots.

Try another Raspberry Pi in case it's a hardware fault.

If you can fsck the SD card, that might find and finx any errors.

Did you use the provided sd image (if so which one?), or did you install everything over an existing installation (if so which one?)?

The "tape" I've seen used is a kind of light blue, more like semi-solid. It's expensive, but it's the correct "tape" to use. It looks like two-side tape, thinner, but it's more like a gunky thick foam. Do not use regular tape that is not made for thermal applications such as applying a heat sink.

That is wild. Great job.

I've been pondering the idea of getting a cheap MIDI keyboard and using a Teensy (microcontroller board) to make a digital software synth with its analog outputs. Some day...

No idea, but I would try to break the problem down. Can you pair the speaker to another source (e.g. a phone or automobile) and play for minutes? Find some simple command line utilities which play sound. Ensure they work through the speaker for minutes, then try bluetooth. Try to turn on logs for th...

Cool, here's a bit of systemd-analzye blame for my RPi 3 booting. Latest raspbian, overclocked, Samsung Evo Plus card. It's pretty quick to boot. 4.557s hciuart.service 2.734s raspi-config.service 2.208s networking.service 1.879s dphys-swapfile.service 1.791s dev-mmcblk0p2.device 723ms keyboard-setu...

This will be difficult to do with good results. How would input work? Also, if you are in VR, you probably don't want to just view your desktop as it is shown on the monitor, but rather a new VR desktop that is more spatial in nature. Probably you want a new VR window manager. I would probably start...

Another option might be to use a camera looking down on the chess board, and use computer vision (e.g. OpenCV library) to detect when the pieces are in the correct configuration.

My original Pi sits in a simple LEGO case which has access to the GPIO pins.
Currently it just runs OctoPi though (for 3D printing).

mlepage

Presumably you could also develop it as a web app, running locally in a browser.

Yes I was simplifying. Arduino is a development board which has a microcontroller chip (ATmega328P or similar) on it, plus a bunch of other stuff, like power regulator, USB interface, and so on. In a similar way, the Raspberry Pi is a board with an SoC (the ARM cores and so on), plus extra stuff (RA...

Microcontroller is, for example, an Arduino. Which looks similar to a Raspberry Pi, and can do some of the same things (e.g. GPIO), but is actually a much simpler thing. A Raspberry Pi is comparable to what's inside a smartphone or tablet. An Arduino is comparable to what's inside a 3D printer, cont...

If you also purchase the Sense Hat, you'll have a temperature sensor (and others), and an 8x8 LED display which you can easily use.

Search for and download something called Kiss FFT. It is a small set of C files. With it, you can feed in audio samples and process them to get the frequencies. It's possible somebody made a Python binding, but if not, the C is just a few lines. Suppose you have data at 44100 Hz, that's the sampling...

I think it's awesome that Frank did eventually build this.

mlepage

could you be a bit more specific re If you look at their contents (e.g. voice-recognizer.service), you'll see it's still expecting (what I presume is) the old path, and the old file name. So in your AIY projects library demo src folder, symlink the new py file to main.py (so the old file name works...

Does anyone know what the roadmap for AIY voice kit and Google Home integration might be?

I also have a Google Home and an AIY, and am curious how to make them work best together. I'm sorta just playing with home automation so far, but it might be time to start getting serious.

mlepage

Could be hardware failure?

If you have a multimeter, check connectivity of each wire in the 5-wire cable (maybe one is broken).

If you have access to another AIY, swap the cable and/or daughterboard and see if you can get yours working or the other failing, to isolate the issue.

mlepage

Hi everyone. Late to the party, I only just built my AIY yesterday (I already have a Google Home, but it's time for a friend) and hit upon this issue as well. (Wish I'd thought to check this forum.) I managed to get this Sep 11 image working, after some hackery. [UPDATE BELOW WITH MORE SPECIFIC STEP...

Yes that is what I experience as well: it just disappears, no crash dialog or anything.

Two pi is an option I guess.

So no way to do it with one pi?

mlepage

I'm interested in connecting two or more cameras and wondering if this is possible. I'm guessing no, I can't connect two camera modules simultaneously in the CSI slot. But is there some way maybe to connect two cameras and switch between them serially, so I can take a shot from one then a shot from ...
