Raspberry Pi Forums

FWIW: I've been investigating a number of "low-cost" hubs that can be powered but may not be supplied with a PSU, mainly because some supplied PSU's are of poor quality (this, as also noted in the wiki, seems to be often the case for generic 7-port hubs). The details can be found at http://www.cpmsp...

I would love a metal SD card holder! I mainly created this thread to see what people's thoughts were on a new revision of a Pi, and it's sparked some interesting conversation. I would agree. A higher quality SD card holder would be great. I have a number of SD cards which are now unusable as they h...

NOOBS does do RISCOS does it not? http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/4100 Yes, but AFAIK if you switch the operating system all data from the previous one is deleted. So e.g. if you switch between RISC OS and XBCM you will loose all installed plug-ins etc. Or do I see that wrong? That may be the c...

FWIW here is an example of a USB-Serial device connecting a Pi to an old RS232 printer/terminal (back in Nov. 2012): http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virgin ... apter.html

Hi Pierre, Given that my Pi's get their IP addresses (statically) assigned by dhcp from my router I may be wrong (if so, someone will correct me, no doubt) but comparing one of my /etc/network/interfaces files (automatically generated for me) with yours I can see an extra line: "auto eth0" which is ...

Whilst several possibilities come to mind, to help "rule out" common issues could you post info. w.r.t. your PSU (eg. was it rated 5V 1000mA or better) SD card and O.S. Also did you write the O.S. image yourself (how?) or was it "pre-installed". What peripherals, if any, have you "plugged in" etc. A...

I've got my raspberry pi almost ready to implement my internet controlled garage door opener but I have a problem. I can't putty or ping my pi hardwired to my desktop through my router. ... Am I interpreting the above correctly to mean that the Pi is (physically) connected to your desktop via (one ...

I have been looking up tutorials and various solutions for this but none of them seem to work, I keep getting the error: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.8 port 22: No route to host (RPI IP is 192.168.1.8) ... This suggests that your network connection is failing. Like texy I've had no problems in ss...

Update: I've now found a more reliable (so far), USB 2.0 compliant USB - LAN dongle, based upon a different chipset and driver - see this thread (http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 28&t=45718) for more info. (I'll be updating my own webpages later this week).

I just got Raspberry Pi B model, and i desperately want to work now! I have a 5.0V charger and i have a 2GB SD card. When I'm connecting to TV via HDMI cable i get absolutely no response. I have followed this to install a OS: http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup#Using_Linux_.28including_on_a_Pi...

Update: I've now received and tried out a new dongle, a Pluscom U2E-ADM8515 which is based upon a different chipset and uses the "pegasus" driver. Like the old Pluscom DM9000E-based device this, so far, appears to be working fine :D and is a USB 2.0 device. It's downside is a higher current (224mA) ...

I want to disable I2C on my Raspberry Pi so that I can use the SCL and SDA pins (GPIO0 and GPIO1 pins) as general purpose IO pins. If I edit /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf and remove the # from in front of i2c-bcm2708 , will this disable I2C so I can use its pins as GPIO's ? As I understand i...

Could be "marginal" PSU issues, esp. if it's similar to this Samsung charger I've looked at: http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/OtherTestedPSUs.html#Samsung_TC_E250 I've not had any problems with my (now "ancient", but still working) BJC250 via a USB to Para...

Hi, How can I check to see if my hdmi cable was shorted? I am pretty sure my pi D1 is kaput (it looks more like an LED than a schottky!). Also, does anyone know what I need to order to replace the diode? This thread may be of some help: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9819 ma...

Have you confirmed that the "nano edit" did result in a changed file (eg. via "more /etc/network/interfaces" {you may need the "sudo" prefix too})? More detail about your router(s) (make, model), if known, may be helpful too - someone here may know how to activate your new router's dhcp server (if i...

... It does not respond to SSH attemps at root@192.168.1.7, and all pings to that address time out. ... Having only "dabbled briefly" with arch I can't help much but, on the basis of comments on SSH elsewhere in the forum, is it possible that, although arch has SSH enabled, it's configured to block...

ghans, thanks for your reply .... I hope that is not the correct answer! All the 'missing programs' are accessible via the menuing system, but what is the point of a GUI if I don't have the icons. I was hoping that there is some kind of 'standard set' of applications that should always appear for e...

Whilst you should be able to use "sudo nano" to edit config.txt (you have to write out the file before eXiting, otherwise, IIRC, it may get saved to a temporary copy eg. config.tmp or similar) the better approach is to use "raspi-config" (assuming your O.S. is "Wheezy Raspbian". NB. an new image was...

Hi folks, Having had problems with basic USB LAN dongles** using the DM9601 driver (see this thread: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=45718), including a variant combined with a 3-port hub, I'm now awaiting delivery of another device based upon the ADM8515 chipset and also cons...

FWIW, as a quick visual check (given that all four boards are cased) my the header page for my "Raspberry Pi notes section" (http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm) show 3 Pi models: raspiblack: "B1 256 Mb" topside, raspiblue: "B2 512 Mb" topside, raspired: "B2 51...

Duncan, Before committing to a purchase of one of the more complex (pre-built) expansion boards with most of the "bells and whistles" your project needs, it might be more worthwhile to "have a go" with something "cheap & cheerful" such as the "Slice of PI/O" board. For me, >15 years since I'd last d...

FWIW, this variant (http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/7PortHub.html - bought via Amazon UK) had poor internal decoupling and a poor quality PSU (measured loading behaviour here: http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virginmedia.com/raspberry_pi/MoinMoinExport/Po...

The board inside mine appears to be identical to the one labelled KY-RS9600 in your pictures, although it is labelled as SR9600 NO: 030818 MADE IN CHINA. The USB ident is "Kontron (Industrial Computer Source / ICS Advent) DM9601 Fast Ethernet Adapter". I have one in black plastic and one in blue. I...

Yes, the DM9601 devices do cause an oops when under any significant loading. I have a couple of them for my model A's. It is annoying :( It may be something to do with the fact that the interfaces I've got are only USB 1.1 (they say they are compatible with USB 2.0 and they are because 2.0 can hand...

Update: Some more info. (that may hold a clue?) Fairly confident that I've ruled out power issues - usb-devices output suggested that the problem device(s) should require less current (120mA cf. 144mA). Checks on the Pi's supply voltage confirm this: 4.9V cf. 4.8V (problem cf. working) - measured du...
