Hello Whilst I have been successful in removing a header connector from the Humble Pi board (via the destructive approach), I now have solder collected in the holes of the board. I can't get close enough with a solder pump to remove them to allow a new extra tall pin header to be inserted prior to s...

Yes. I would say you have all the elements of what you would need already there. Now it is just thinking about the structure of the code as the previous post says and reuse.

Looks like a nice project.

To have this run automatically on boot: sudo nano /etc/rc.local I have the motion detect python script in a "scripts" folder within the user space. So I would add the following before the last line (the exit 0): sudo python /home/pi/scripts/motiondetect.py I don't think you need "sudo...

Looks like it's solved. For some reason my second RPi is slightly quicker to boot and therefore attempts to execute the script before the WiFi adapter has obtained an IP address, thus no internet socket yet exists.This is probably because this is a fresh install and I haven't added any services like...

Hello I have two RPi's. On the first I have a startup mailer written in Python which is called via rc.local. This works well. I've copied the rc.local and the python script from the first RPi to the second. I've set the execution bit for the rc.local file. If I do the following once I've logged in I...

Thanks for this. The camera LED flashed (this is progress), but I've moved on to the next problem (sorry about this) Now I get the following error: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/run/shm/img.jpg' Indeed no file has been created in that location. I get the feeling this is all about p...

I followed the following excellent article on getting lighttpd to call raspistill via a python script and display the results on a webpage: http://raspberrypi.werquin.com/post/51885842425/intermezzo-raspcam However, I'm using Apache2. I installed mod_python and can get a simple "Hello World&quo...

This works great at 30fps, but not at all at 10fps! Can't understand that. Anyway, I don't need the high fps, so I was wondering if anyone can describe how I might use raspistill to output a file which could then be picked up and served by Apache. The problem I have is that because the raspistill fi...

Hi Folks I'm a stickler for order. I have a few Pi's, one of which I'm using as a linux headless file server. That entails (in my situation) the RPi, a Logitech powered USB hub (with its beastly 5V 2A supply terminating in a nasty non-USB style connector) and a naff looking Toshiba 2.5" USB dri...

A good tutorial on running scripts on startup:

And, from the same author, how to get the RPi to boot into timelapse mode:

Thanks for all you comments and advice, folks. I have a few suggestions of possible workarounds. I note how this thread is morphing into something a little different. I do appreciate that raspistill is a demo, but I have not, and do not intend to become, and application developer. I just want to Was...

I'm curious what kind of framerate you get from the camera, just local, not over the network. I'm thinking of using the camera for a line-following robot, and I'm wondering if the USB solution will work. I haven't tried anything greater than 1 fps at 640x480, but I'm running headless so it does rel...

Please fix the LED off option (or provide an alternative). Also, an option to output a fully completed frame in timelapse mode (not sure if the problem exists in normal operation). At present the output file (if we assume a static filename) is formed in a scan-line type way, i.e. can be partially c...

I've made reference to a static file created via raspistill in timelapse mode. However, the static jpg is formed in realtime in a scan line approach (i.e. the file is in various stages of completion). Is there anyway, either through a bash script or the HTML code, of only displaying a completed imag...

chorlton2080

Hello folks I've been using the raspistill command to do timelapse: very good it is too. I just wish I could switch the LED off on the most recent package version. That is not the purpose of my post, however. I've almost reached the end of my patience with trying to get a stream which will show on v...

With the limitations of the CSI module becoming quickly apparent for my needs, I'm back to using my Logitech USB webcams with the "motion" daemon. I can stream to VLC, most browsers (except IE) and view using Android's IPCam Viewer with almost no configuration. This is incredible versatile...

Hi and thanks for your reply. Yes, I thought after I posted that I should have included the following: To run from a SSH session I'm typing "sudo motion"; it needs sudo because of the motion.conf file located in /etc/motion. It works. My assumption is that the RPi should simply be able to ...

For someone who grew up with MS-DOS (I had no choice), I'm am asking myself why I should find myself pulling out my hair with the most modest and humdrum of requirements. I need to start a program automatically on boot. That program is Motion. I can start this program by typing it into a SSH session...

If you are receiving the error connected with absence of "var/motion/motion.pid" when running in daemon mode, this is likely attributed to permissions. I changed the entry in "etc/motion/motion.conf" from "var/motion/motion/pid" to "home/pi/motion.pid" and it ...

I answered my own question: I needed to choose port 5901.

How should I have realised this? Please assist a Linux noobie!

Hi folks Can anyone offer help with the settings on the Android version of Wyse's PocketCloud VNC app in order for it to work with TightVNC on my RPi? I can VNC from my Windows box and have no problem with SSH-ing a console on the Android tablet. There appear only two connection types: Windows and M...

I also thought this was an issue initially, but despite having my RPi hooked up to a HDMI screen I almost never use it - I simply remote in using SSH or VNC. I've used my wireless keyboard only once!

Folks The code on the Adafruit GIT download source appears to have been modified as per the earlier trials on timing - I had no need to change anything and it works well on a DHT11 - well, it reads and logs on GDocs, I have some suspicion about the humidity readings though from this rather cheap sen...

Steven, Peter

You were both completely correct! It now works. I hadn't appreciated the significance of the Rev 1 and 2 boards. Thank you very much and a Merry Christmas: this RPi is a refreshing challenging
