Re: Pi Zero / OTG

Ok lets try this then (give it an address - which shouldnt be required but meh) ifconfig usb0:0 123.45.67.89 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifconfig -a then see if it appears. if it does then the error is caused by it not being managed by the ifup set. that can be resolved differently. If it does not appe...

Re: Pi Zero / OTG

I'm using a Pi Zero in OTG mode, on a ClusterHAT (it allow to plug 4 pi Zeros on a pi2/3). The pi zero generate the usb0, and on the pi2 I got the eth from the pi zero. USB Gadget Mode: Ethernet and Serial Console. So we have established that you are not using OTG but gadget/peripheral. This is imp...

Re: Pi Zero / OTG

What device are you using in OTG mode? It may be that devices driver does not support virtual interfaces (although it should).

If you are directly connecting to your PC you are in peripheral mode not OTG mode.

Re: What is this soldering aid called?

EDIT: I will leave this here, but I see now that it was a heatsink that was being asked about. This is what I used when I worked at a company doing this type of stuff. We called them circuit board clamps and google found this image based on that so apparently others do too. https://images-na.ssl-ima...

Re: Real beginner help needed starting programming

This is going to be a completely noob question so please help out a beginner here. I’m new to the Pi and my only programming experience is with visual basic. I’ve looked at the Education section here and the Programming section but I can’t figure out where to start. In addition to the things posted...

Re: pull up and pull down resistors, cant configure properly

If you are going to hook up drone motors I would strongly suggest using a L293D or ULN2803. If you are using a servo you might be able to do control via the pi but power should be external. Anything with any appreciable current draw should probably not be directly powered off the GPIO pins. See the ...

Re: USB OTG: Pi not being detected on USB bus

Did you ever get this resolved?. Yep. It is solved. I meant the OP who had what appears to be a growing problem where the USB port does not work - not the SSH problem you appear to have had. There is pinout on 49 sec. https://youtu.be/Kbv5mqv32tc?t=49 . 5V and GND are the same for both micro usb po...

Re: Is there a Pi battery?

There is no official one that I am aware of however there are some that work. Like this https://www.adafruit.com/products/1565 There are also some lipo packs but be careful with those make sure you know exactly what you are getting. I would figure out what your current draw is, all peripherals, etc ...

Camera + facial recognition. That way if the mobile is forgotten or lost it still works.

Re: USB OTG: Pi not being detected on USB bus

Did you ever get this resolved? The difference between OTG and regular is pin 4 of the usb connector (OTG ID). If pin 4 is tied to ground (often pin 5 in the cable) then it is an OTG cable. If pin 4 is disconnected (no connect/floating) it is not an OTG cable. This is why the micro-usb connector is ...

Re: bedroom automation

I'm not sure the Bluetooth idea is difficult, especially as it would only be necessary to check for the presence of the phone, not actually pair with it. I'll try it myself next week and report back how it goes. detection with 'hcitool scan' (cli command) is trivial. Detecting when it is in the roo...

Pi Zero test points

I have tried to find a listing of the Pi Zero test points. I found threads like this https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=874481#p874481 which talked about the B but the B test points do not entirely match the Zero (eg PP22, PP23, PP35, PP36, PP37, PP38, PP39, PP40). So I did what I co...
