See Andyroo's answer when I asked the same question ( https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=246667#p1506293 ). The added requirement for headless setup in Buster is that the default screen size has to be set for (at least) VNC to work. Both OS versions will autodetect most HDMI...

Who actually reads documentation? I generally do that only once I discover my initial assumptions were false! ;) I always read through the entire documentation of a hardware device or software package once. I then generally reread the section(s) on whatever I actually plan to use. I find that enoug...

No, it is used on Windows, but I want to verify its functionality also on Linux. Therefore I have installed the dev stuff on the RPi4 and will transfer thw sources via SVN to it and then build and test the project there. Audio controls are part of the editor too. But it is not a full video editor, ...

I'd say it was a regular case. Just a very well designed one. Looking at the one I have here, the LCD cable and camera cables have exits, and there is an available slot to get a GPIO ribbon cable out should you so wish. Indeed, there is a slot provided for a GPIO ribbon cable, but do you know of a ...

You might want to just look into a Flirc case ($20 with shipping). The top half is all aluminium and acts as a big heat sink(no fan and none needed). For anything pre Pi4 they are more than enough case to keep it cool. For the Pi4 they are right on the edge, for moderate use they are fine. I endors...

What about something like this https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity-AMP/3-87456-5?qs=sGAEpiMZZMs%252BGHln7q6pm7F1NlCFAzwfeva7z7Ehuec%3D Found by googling "2x20 2.54 female" You'd have to attach your own wires, but the connection itself is very slim. That looks like a gange...

There's a FAQ on the Flirc RPi 4 case page where question 9 specifically adresses the gpio ribbon cable issue: I'm having trouble fitting a standard IO Cable for the Connectors, do you have a recommendation? Yes, this one works perfectly fine: https://octopart.com/search?q=IDSD-20-D-06.00 I haven't...

So to cut a long story short, if your Pi 4 hangs on boot when 2 displays are connected, try a different micro SD card. The cards are different brands, the cheaper of the two is the one that allows the dual displays to work. It seems highly improbable (but not impossible, I grant) that the make or s...

I confirm this on the RPi3B+ version of the FLIRC case (just took mine from storage to verify pfletch101's concern) in my measurement, the 40-pin ribbon connector's length is about 55.5mm (correct me on this), while the pillar to pillar widest distance is 53mm so definitely a 40-pin ribbon connecto...

Not wanting to derail the discussion but this article maybe of interest even just to prove it is possible in some cases just to use the beat rate https://techlector.com/apple-watch-detects-heart-attack/ Maybe start with green led heartbeat sensors (search photoplethysmography) and go from there - a...

Just as a matter of interest, while being tested for other things, I was asked to wear a 24-hour monitoring device. It appeared to record ... something ... during that 24 hours, from a couple of electrodes taped to my chest. Quite what they thought about my heart stopping for a couple of hours I do...

pfletch101

or sit down and get ready. Though if you could do it through a small compact smart device people may wear... Probably not. For any degree of reliability in analyzing ECGs for ischemia, you need at least a limited array of electrodes across the chest - not just something worn or attached to a single...

pfletch101

I wonder if there is possible to predict the heart attack a few seconds or maybe minutes in advance? There are reasonably specific ECG changes that indicate myocardial ischemia (marginal oxygen supply to the heart), which can be the forerunner of a 'heart attack' (usually caused by inadequate oxyge...

I bought a RPi4 on it's release day, I've performed all the updates and even the rpi-update to get the latest firmware release. I've been struggling with connectivity issues since day one and it's getting progressively worse. I edited the .conf file that switches the power management off for wlan0,...

Not without additional hardware. Additional hardware would be fine, I have plenty of room for additional hardware. I just need to be able to power it off and on with computer since the monitor will be enclosed in a case where I won't generally have access to the power button without opening up the ...

I have my Pi 4b-4 in a Flirc Case, which solves the heating issue which the Pi 4 otherwise suffers from. However, at some time in the future, I will probably want access to the board's GPIO connections, and this is proving a bit challenging. The Flirc case has a narrow cutout in its base positioned ...

Actually, there IS a reason to expect all HVAC systems to be wired the same since it's an industry standard. And the skills required to wire up a thermostat IS considered to be part of a mere mortal's tool kit. Again, that may be a reasonable assumption in the USA. It is certainly NOT reasonable in...

Newark is Farnell who are one of the main manufacturers for RPi boards. Good luck removing preferred vendor status from them. If they are manufacturing them, you would think that they might have a better idea of when they would have them in stock! I cancelled my order (from June 29) a week or so ag...

I remember there were some plans to reduce (idle) power consumption with software changes to the DRAM controller or the graphics driver. Are we going to see anything in this regard any time soon? And what happened to the VLI firmware update, are there any further updates coming out? If you have any...

If not, I normally put commands at the end of the file with one or more comment lines giving the reason why I have added the line(s). You may think you will remember what the line does BUT I do not and find comments handy (it’s a age thing :roll: ) I vote for the end (and for the comments :) ), too...

Hello , I have notice this problem on my pi: the pi is connected to a router and working when I reboot the pi - everything is ok , the connection return after the boot . when I reboot the router - I lose connection to the pi and I have to do a hard reset \ local reboot why is this ? how can I fix t...

https://i.postimg.cc/qMVvYJc0/pitemps-final.jpg I didn't realize that the FLIRC case was going to beat open air (no case) so soundly. That's great. Guess I'll be overclocking it. I have now (finally!) received my Pi 4 and have it installed in a Flirc case, and my limited testing confirms what you h...

I may eventually be able to tell you, but my Flirc case is currently even further back-ordered than my Pi 4.4! :) Pimoroni has the Pi4 4GB in stock (actually they have all 3 flavors in stock at the time of this post). https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-4?variant=29157087445075 Okdo has...
