Which usb adaptor integrates easily to RPi ?

Anyone got one working ?

The Kingston 16GB car was even worse that the ones I normally use.

So shrinking the partition is needed. If only 'Partition Magic' still existed and could cope with Linux Partitions ! *LOL*

I'm confused (normal state *LOL*) as the 64bit Vista laptop will be NTFS and the Win32DiscImager software writes a 56Mb partition ? then presumably an ext3 section courtesy of bit copying, why does it give up so comprehensively when writing a 16GB image file to a 32GB Sd card ? Probably a duff 32GB ...

Brill ! That is the fix ! I hunt it out tomorrow.

When reading Bash Script programs the difference of some letters become very important One ___________ 1 lower case L _____ l upper case i_____ I can all look about the same ! :? Does anyone know of a font (in LibreOffice for example) that has different looking symbols so mistakes are less likely ? ...

Maybe the total answer lives here:- Quote from the article:- "Equally, whether on Linux or Windows, if you are using the 32-bit version then once again a file size limitation will be encountered. The maximum size for a single file on a 32-bit operating system is 4Gb. If your backup file is larger th...

I decided to try this:-

16GB KINGSTON SD SDHC MEMORY CARD CLASS 4 FOR DIGITAL CAMERA

Will take a week to arrive. (?)

Lets see if it works !

Both my Win 7 Pro box and the Vista laptop can use Win32 Imager fine to make a 16GB Sd card from the original downloaded master of Raspbian. With the 32GB SD card it lays in the 56Mb partition ok, then rejects the SD card from being recognised by the PC and offers error 2 ! Not sure what to do now, ...

Every School Science dept should have a teacher who knows how to drive a RPi !

Hi thsBavR10 Many many thanks ! As I'm terrified of nuking my Mrs's Laptop with a DD command, I'll wait until I get my own gash PC to try the CLI on a Windows box ! Looks very neat solution though. The FAT portable hard drive services a neat Video recorder as an external drive and I'm not sure if it...

Tried a different one from the same shipment. Tried to re-create the img file and got Error 2 on my Win 7 Pro box. Tried to move the img file from the Vista laptop onto a WD 320GB portable drive (3 years old +) and it moaned with 'file too big'. Anyone got one of these 'no power supply' type portabl...

I used identical SD cards :-

Elite Pro 16GB class 10.

So which SD card manufacturers do work with the Win32DiscImager software, without this joke ?

I used an aged Laptop running Vista. By unfortunate chance. My main PC is a 6 core 8GB ram and about a year old which may be a tad faster. Broadband went down and repairman cometh Feb 7th Grrrr.... so sorting out a Dongle on Linux (non trivial) and used anything that had a second dongle for the task...

Brilliant Guide, thank you. After 6 1/2 hours the 16GB SD was imaged ok ! So I poped and blank in and attempted to write the img to it....... Message came back:- Needed 32,433,360 sectors Available 31,537,152 sectors Hmmmm.... ordering a 32 GB SD card... Anybody any ideas ? A puzzled, :cry: :cry: :c...

Win32diskimage sounds the best bet for me.

Many many thanks everyone for all the tips ! Very greatly appreciated!

I will report back my results.

I've been developing some bash scripts plus a lot else, and don't want to lose the OS which now has lots of extras. The OS's available is Mint 14 Linux also Windows Pro as well as the June 2013 (or a month or two earlier) version of Raspberry. I'm very nervous as its easy to clone a blank SD card on...

Following connecting it all up to the RPi is now works with a Bash Script I've called control_003 for those of you who are interested , here are the circuit diagrams. The Supplier of most of the parts was Rapid Electronics. http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n62/timmoore46/SolarInputCrtRev001b.jpg h...

The second R 1 is really Relay 1

Hope I got the jpg thing right !

Tim

Any thoughts on improvements re welcome. Always happy to learn.

This is from the RPi GPIO to a big Relay to switch a 2.7Kw Immersion heater.

Tim

PS Ah ! What the best / easiest way to add a photo ?

timmoore46

The Output board design is now complete and I have a working version. I would like to share the circuit diagram which is in jpg format. That will follow on the next post. If there is any interest I could turn it into a pcb and offer that to anyone who wants one. The key design features are that it h...

BASH has yielded all the major problems nicely, thanks to the patience and skill of the other forum members.

The RPi seems rock solid and doing what BASH tells it to ! (eventually)

So its now 95% hardware and waiting on the postman.

Many thanks Pluggy, I was totally unaware of such a device. I have used relays often and trust them. but fully aware the back emf of a large traditional relay can slay a lot of kit ! *LOL*, so your solution is elegant ! I've ordered one ! I'm switching 2.7kW immersion heater element with it. I'm opt...
