Hi guys, Thank you so much for the help but I found a company that supplies exactly what I need: http://www.deweerd-emst.nl/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=43253 (dutch website) I am situated in the Netherlands and was shocked that this company was so close to me. Thanks again for the help. At...

VAT or sales tax varies by location - so why state many different prices, and of course schools can reclaim the vat portion, so do in fact get them for $25. Pi has always been primarily targetted at education after all. Indeed. When saying "You can't get it for $25" I thought about kids, parents, t...

looking for omething that will do as follows apply power ..... after 20 mins turn on stay on for 1 min turn off then after 20 mins turn on stay on for 1 min turn off and so on i *THINK** this might be suitable but instructions are flaky http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/24V-12V-5V-Relay-Module-Cycle-Timer-...

Looking at the specs, it does clearly state '3.5 V-12V to TTL control signal'. Expecting it to switch reliably at 3.3V is expecting it to reliably work out of spec if I'm interpreting the data correctly. It's often difficult to interpret specs when they're not written in correct English. Hi Actuall...

Hello, What is the most simple way to make Relay Module KY-019 5V work with GPIO? http://okystar.en.alibaba.com/product/1498514200-220205206/1_channel_Relay_Module_KY_019_5V_Relay_for_Arduino.html This relay is working fine while it is operating in room temperature, but if I put it in sealed box to...

Hi

You may already know this

SuSE has/had a programmer who used a braille display, and if you power up a Pi with the OpenSuSE distro you might notice the 'searching for a braille display' early on in the boot process.

Can anyone think of a failure cause which would kill the gpios on P1 but leave the ones on P5 OK?

Hi

Not really.

Putting into SAFE_MODE by shorting pins 5 & 6 is a possible cause,
IE: a short from the 5 volt pin to the gpio.

Hi

If you list your hardware and OS etc.

Then tell us what you have tried and it's outcome.

Nowhere in the posts are you positive about any action.

Hi Well I suggest the Finder Series 46 with a series 97 base. 46.52 Choose 230/240v AC coil voltage. • 2 Pole CO, 8 A • Plug-in/Solder terminals 46.52 Choose 12v DC coil voltage. • 2 Pole CO, 8 A • Plug-in/Solder terminals 2 Bases, they should have a din rail capability and screw mount also. 97-02 #...

I had that error message, with a keyboard connected and without.

Its still Debians Wiki and I doubt the Pi will ever meet the criteria for openness that a Debian hard-liner demands whilst its got a Broadcom Chip in it.

A voltage divider Thank you. I didn't realise I knew what a voltage divider circuit was. My base is a single bar electric fire (now obsolete) 250 volts 4 amps 1000 watts 62.5 ohms. (As a check to remember how to use ohms law). The thing is linear so the voltage drop etc easy to understand. Now look...

Ah sorry I changed name half way through, I'll correct it :oops: The powerbank is a battery, but it's a pre-made unit that handles charging and has a power button rather than just a battery which needs to be disconnected. I have a physical switch, if there is power (the Pi is on) I would like the r...

I have an idea on how I can use some money to buy some pi's but just need a project. Each year we are meant to buy in CPD and do a two day project with new y5+6 as a sales event for the school.

Sorry if this is the wrong place but it seems like the most hardware oriented section :) I'm trying to make a Pi power on and off using one momentary switch and a powerbank which has a momentary on/off button. What I need to achieve is very simple in words but I'm not entirely sure what component(s...

Hi

I don't think it a practicable proposition.

£100 for a home made 3d printer?

An RS version is RM2800.00 (£530.00) from Singapore, the disparity makes me think to buy and "copy" the RepRapPro, then sell it on to recover as much money as possible, or use to generate some income.

Hi, we’re a team of engineering undergrads hoping to redesign the soldering iron. Specifically, we’re looking at making it safer and more usable by younger teens and children. Hi Well how about "asbestos" gloves? Leave the iron alone and make using it different. Gloves, large heat-sink. Retractable...

I can't picture what you mean. Could you post a photo of your set-up? Hiya His problem is wiring directly to the end device. A connector that could join common wires together would solve the problem. Reconfiguring a GPIO to be a GND is also a possibility. Breadboard. A lack of experience and parts ...
