Re: Interface problem between Arduino and RPI, through pin 7 arduino. and pin 7 RPI
You initially said that when you read the input from you Arduino it was all over the place. Connecting an LED will not tell you if it is a steady state or oscillating if the line is switching often enough. Please consider the initial steps I suggested and perhaps share a drawing of what is connected...

Re: Interface problem between Arduino and RPI, through pin 7 arduino. and pin 7 RPI
Hi there First lets find out if your problem is on the Arduino or RPi... i.e. is the problem writing data out or reading it in? Instead of connecting your Arduino to pin 7 of your Pi attach Pin 7 of your Pi to 0V. (1) When you try and read the pin does it always show 0? (2) now connect pin 7 of your...

Re: issues with GPIO/button push
hi there Switches are just bits of metal that you join together or pull apart when you close or open them. During the transition from open to closed the switch contacts will often bounce a few times before coming to rest in their new closed state. This may take a few microseconds (millionths of a se...

Re: Reading LM75X, i.e. LM75A product id?
just to be clear
#1 can you read any other registers correctly?
#1.1 perhaps only the reading of temperature register works? in which case you are probably not selecting the register mapping correctly (temperature is the default register map)

Re: EMC Certificate for DSI1 on CM3+
Displays are notoriously bad when it comes to EMC. I found that the most important issues tend to be a simple low pass filter and PCB layout. A simple LRC low pass filter set to Fclk x 1.5 on ALL lines to the display at the domain boundary is essential, much, much better than ferrite beads. Paying c...

Re: 1pps generation from raspberry Pi
Short answer: No. There will always be jitter caused by the OS performing context switches for other tasks (and the operation of the OS itself) Now that jitter may be small enough that you don't notice it but your gpio edges will not not be always exactly 1 second apart long answer: Before Python 3....

The tee command will only allow you to log what is sent to stdout (i..e what you see on your screen) unless you are see the sort of information you are wanting to capture going by onscreen then tee isn't the command you are looking for - sorry

Have you confirmed that you can read from the sensor at all? For now I would ignore your motor control and just write a bit of code to show you that the sensor is working as you would expect. I would also use a multimeter to check if the line does go to a logic 1 (in this case 3.3V) and then go to l...
