Re: Self soldered pi zero w AIY audio kit

I see. Do you think I should just buy another pi, use my other raspberry pi zero with a wifi dongle or clean it up?

Hello! I'm back to my vision kit and I soldered my pi zero w header on now. It is probably incorrectly soldered.

Any ideas for Eee PC running Raspberry Pi Desktop?

I have newly found an old Eeebook by ASUS lying around, it has 1 GB of RAM :shock: and a low-end Intel Core chip, so I guess it wouldn't perform well on the limited Windows Starter 7. So I turned the OS into Rasbian Desktop ;) by the CD I got from the MagPi a few months ago. But now I have no clue w...

Isn't there an option in the raspi-config utility to enable pigpiod? I have looked for it but I didn't find anything relevant. What version of Raspbian are you running? Has it been updated with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade? If it's not Raspbian Stretch then start with a new S...

Never mind my example of the start variable. that was a bad example. If you look at the source code, you will find a stop button in the GUI. def stop_stopmotion(): camera.stop_preview() system('avconv -r ' + str(FPS_number.get()) + ' -i /Desktop/StopMotion/ ' + folder_name.get() + '/frame%03d.jpg -q...

But how would I exit that loop by pressing the "Stop StopMotion" button? Or would I have to place a variable in the loop, like so: def start_stopmotion(): camera.start_preview(alpha=192) frame = 1 start = True while start == True: button.wait_for_press() camera.capture("/home/pi/Desktop/StopMotion/"...
