If the leakage reaches the GPIO, and drives it over 4 volt, this can potentially damage your PI! But perhaps I'm overreacting. I believe, based on his description, that the leakage is on the pins that drive a motor and should never be hooked up to a Pi. Morecambre: What I do not see most how-to dia...

I recall from when I worked on telephony stuff, Japan has some strict regulatory issues. With that in mind I decided to google a bit. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2015/03/07/digital/using-imported-mobile-devices-may-illegal/ "All wireless devices sold in Japan must have a technical conformity ce...

I suspect that the USB is tied to USB processing hardware. USB has some timing constraints which is why you dont see GPIO usb adapters. DisplayLink is a way of adding a monitor over USB. You may want to look at that instead. http://www.displaylink.com/products/usb-monitors There are many monitors wi...

The package should still be updated to prevent others from having the same issue. Not sure who the package maintainers are.

I have tried connecting the USB on the Pi Zero to my MacBook but nothing appeared in MacOS in either DMESG or System Profiler. I will try it again with Linux as soon as I get my hands on a spare USB to boot a live distro on. Did you try without an SD card at all and USB in the USB not power jack? Y...

These guys used 2 steppers and can be adapted using smaller DC or stepper motors as long as there is sufficient torque.

A proper thrust bearing might also help.

1. How to remove the pi user two options, replace "pi" in /etc/passwd and /etc/group and /etc/sudoers (if its there and not group based) to something else (they have to know both the username and password to log in, having a stock username gives them part of the info needed). You may also sudo addu...

There will never be a turnkey system for real security, there will just be a "club" like device. The automotive anti-theft device "the club" works on the premise that its easier to steal someone elses car than yours. It is not hard to remove (most steering wheels are plastic and easily cut) but it t...

I think you've missed his point Wayne, He's asking whether you can produce stand alone executable binaries with wolfram (is it a compiled language?) or whether wolfram is in fact a scripting language that needs a specific application to be useful (wolfram-engine runs the script?). I thought I cover...

If that is the only error I made in that list then I am not doing too bad

Thanks

Added more code. It is still not fully functional, but its getting there. I am just going page by page in the data sheet adding functionality. The test.py program is similarly being updated to show how to use the new features.

Pull requests welcome.

Unfortunately I don't have much programming experience. Maybe some C while programning PIC microcontrollers, but at a very basic level. I was hoping that by doing the communication manually, at a start, it would make life easier when moving over and make it with code instead. But I'm probably wrong...

But those just amplify government frequencies. They want you to wear one.

I both agree and disagree. For products that need the additional I/O, and don't need the connectors, and have sufficient margins to absorb the CM's significantly higher cost, yes, the CM's are perfect. There is also the form factor. I am working with the local e-nable chapter to do an electronic pr...

One way to look at it is that variables have two properties. Their name and their contents. Is the '$' symbol only used in comparison? Cant seem to find the answer i need in google :P $ is a way to reference the contents. Without it you are referencing the variable. basket = apples; aka The basket c...

gregric thanks for the forum post that talks about this and gives the same instructions the github repo contains. No worries wayne. It's been a day or so, and none of the mob that defamed you have been back here to apologise - sad. I didnt think they would. A block worked anyway, it was not just th...

This radio is a bit more complex and a simple terminal probably wont work the way you want it to. Just initializing the radio to get it to go into Tx or Rx mode requires quite a few steps. Setting the frequency requires 3 writes after doing some math. An interface library is the way to go for this b...

@wayne.dolesman: Sorry for being unclear. I want to send a series of bits, 8-512. Ok, well the console terminal app is actually fairly easy and generic. That I have below. The spi specifics I didnt do yet because I wasnt sure how it was going to be done. I have attached the app - although for sendi...

There are probably a couple ways. The least accurate is to find an NTP server for android. This should not be terribly difficult. The phones clock drift would potentially cause issues if accuracy is your desire. The more accurate way would be to use the phones GPS if it has one as a clock source. Th...

When you say you want to send 1-64 byte what exactly do you mean?

A series of bits 1-64 bytes long? (eg 8-512 bits)
The byte value 1-64? (eg 0x01 - 0x40)
Something else?

I could do a simple SPI console app in python but I would need to know exactly what is being sent.

The Device Boot section on that first link is an empty holding page, but there's more info on device/slave boot at the end of https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot and gsh mentions it here too: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=171975&p=1101183&hilit=rpiboot#p1101595 Not for ...

OK, for the benefit of the community, please give step by step instructions how to boot a Zero (or any Pi (except the 3b) for that matter) without a SD Card? Don't hold your breath waiting. Wayne, the deployer of mis-information, doesn't have a good record of posting anything that might actually wo...

wayne.dolesman

Wayne is correct, it wasn't inaccurate: that's the message the bcm2835 gives during the first stage of its USB slave boot. Indeed it can boot linux that way, no SD card at all, but requiring a computer on the other end of the cable, not mass storage. But that's not what the OP is after here I suspe...

I understand your comment. As a scientific calculator, this is awesome. So I am having trouble finding out how to make a stand alone application, that I can distribute to people who do not have Wolfram installed on their computer. Where can I find information to make an .exe application? This seems...
