Hi, in my long quest (search the forum) to connect a low power display to the Raspberry I am moving from a 3 bit SPI display (which in the end worked) to something more colorful, i.e. an Ortustech Blanview 18 bit (3 x 6 bit) parallel display which I hope to drive via DPI. If you are interested, data...

Back on track after two years.. I've finally bought a couple of Ortustech Blanview displays (COM27H2P37ULC , https://www.distec.de/fileadmin/pdf/produkte/TFT-Displays/Ortustech/COM27H2P37ULC_Datasheet.pdf ). This should be a DPI display (should.. I'm not 100 % sure). To connect it to a Raspberry I'v...

Hello, I have a wearable project in mind using a raspberryPiZero, a battery (2400mAh at the moment), the camera and a small ultra low power display, as well as a few components and a custom built PCB. Last year I've built a working prototype using a JDisplay MPI SPI display, that is RGB with 1-bit d...

Hi, I use a LPM027M128B (with or without backlight from 4 leds, ) and also the LPM044M141A. I've written the driver myself, and I've written a 7bit font (only capital letters..) but unfortunately I couldn't manage to fit it right in a header file, so it's a header + c file. Basically it's a matrix 8...

Well, yes the script has an amerpsand at the end.. but I wonder why a crash in my application crashes all the system.

Besides, I know it's maybe dirty to have the service in rc.local, I should put it in init.d or something more modern, but the issue still remains.
Thanks anyway

Ok.. I've browsed through my log files.. please notice that I launch my "server" via rc.local. Inside rc.local I call a shell script that does an endless "while" loop, calling my program, and then if the program exits, recalling it again.. in daemon.log I've found Sep 17 21:17:15...

OK.. sorry .. silly me.. NOOBS is like the boot loader? Or something like that. On top I've Raspbian, but.. the problem is my file system gets corrupted somehow and putting it in my Mac restores it. But nothing else (rebooting does not fix it..) Why? I'm thinking about mounting the SD in read only m...

zontar

Hi.. I have Raspbian, not Noobs, and regarding my expensive Apple machine :) the problem it's not that it cannot see partitions.. the problem is my Raspberry that crashes and cannot restart until something (my Mac?) sets something on the MBR (or whatever is on the SD nowadays).. I'll try looking in ...

Hello, I've developed a simple program that runs endlessly on a piZero, reads from the camera and writes to a LCD panel via SPI. Everything works fine, but sometimes my program crashes (i think so, I'm not sure.. read more) and with it the RaspberryPiZero shuts down (or hangs, or whatever). From the...

Hello, there are two ways that I am aware of: 1) buy a connector extension as this one https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/camera-cable-joiner-extender-for-raspberry-pi and some cables (they are simple flat cables..). http://www.ebay.it/itm/Hearty-CSI-Flat-Ribbon-Cable-for-the-Raspberry-Pi-Camera-fro...

Hi @ aBUGSworstnightmare, thanks for answering. But first of all, didn't you manage to have a DSI display connected to a Rasp with your breakout board (as per post linked?). Back to your post, you told me to look at another Ortustech module. As far as I can tell it's another Blanview as the one link...

Hi, I'm a newbie when it comes to external displays. I'm working on a project where I need to connect a very low power, sunlight readable display to a Raspberry Pi Zero. So far I've managed to connect some SPI displays from J-Display and everything works more than fine (i've even tripled the specifi...

Hi all. I've bypassed the constants in bcm3250 and set (as per piras77 suggestion) a divider of 50.. buff.. magic.. from 5fps I've gained 1.2 fps. Testing I can get to 6.6 FPS with a divider of 46. Not bad at the moment. Before optimizing I was down at 3.0 fps. One thing though: if I send static buf...

Hello, I currently have a SPI display attached via a custom-made board to my PiZero GPIO Header. Everything works as expected. I am able to play a video or image sequences on my display at 5FPS. Now I'd like to achieve 10 or 12 fps. I seem to have found that the maixmum SPI speed I have is around 5M...

zontar

ah ok. Thanks.

zontar

Thanks. Wrote to them, now waiting for an answer.

Anyone tried PCBTrain?

Thanks

Hello, I've developed an early prototype of a board that works for a small multimedia project. Now I'd like to print a real board with some SMD components and connectors to test it on the go. Has anybody got any idea of a one-stop-shop in Europe that prints boards and assemble also SMD components? T...

In the end it was a timing problem. so we wrote this script #!/bin/sh while true; do IP_ETH0=`ifconfig eth0 2>/dev/null|awk '/inet addr:/ {print $2}'|sed 's/addr://'` IP_USB0=`ifconfig usb0 2>/dev/null|awk '/inet addr:/ {print $2}'|sed 's/addr://'` if [ "$IP_ETH0" = "" ]; then su...

zontar

Ok, this last post was wrong: my fault. If I do

Code: Select all

sudo ifup eth0

the interface is brought up correctly. The problem remains as to why sometimes it is down.. we will put a watchodg to bring up the relevant interface if it is down.

zontar

By logging via a USB keyboard+HDMI on the master raspberry I noticed that, when I plug in the USB cable to te PiZero, the raspberry brings down the interface eth0. If I start it again sudo ifconfig eth0 up it goes up but without an IPv4. It has only an IPv6. Now, since sometimes it works, I know tha...

zontar

Yes.
As I wrote, sometimes it works. And sometimes it doesn't. Without touching any configuration file, just by chnaging physical connections or timing of startup.

Hi, we aim to achieve this setup: one raspberryPi3B acting as a "master" and a raspberryZero acting as a "slave", connected via USB cable. Moreover we need to work on these two machines, via SSH, so the master has an ethernet attached to my MacBookPro. First of all, let me say th...

Hi everybody, I'm at the prototype stage of a project with a pizero, a camera and a small 3 bit display. At the moment everything kinda work, albeit with scotch tape, lot of cardboard, duct tape and some components dangling.. But before designing a custom PCB and case, I was wondering.. is it allowe...

zontar

Yes the installations were the same (apart from the fact I suspect Jesse on Zero is the "lite" version).

We have indeed bought usb adapter explicitly marked as OTG.. gonna try as soon as they arrive.
Thanks

Oh, and how is this accomplished? Since I also need to be able to SSH into it from an Android (or at least communcate via TCP/IP). I'm totally confused. This page https://gist.github.com/gbaman/975e2db164b3ca2b51ae11e45e8fd40a was suggested as the steps needed to put the Pi in slave mode. But these ...
