If all of the inputs are to support -5 V to 12 V DC range, you can use a simple resistor divider and a single sided converter. A 10-bit converter would give approximately 0.02 V DC single bit resolution if used with a divider providing a 20 VDC range. An 8-bit converter would give approximately 0.1 ...

And yes, you must run the application as root for the GPIO access.

Gordon's WiringPi has a Python interface and supports the hardware PWM. I use it with my LCD backlight to control the brightness. Code snippet for LED control: #!/usr/bin/python import wiringpi LED = 1 # gpio pin 12 = wiringpi no. 1 (BCM 18) # Initialize PWM output for LED wiringpi.wiringPiSetup() ...

By default the i2c and spi modules are not loaded. This avoids a conflict for those who want to have maximum available GPIO pins. To have the i2c and spi modules load at boot, you need to remove them from the boot blacklist. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf and add a '#' character in front ...

Good catch. That would definitely cause the error.

First, you should update your Raspbian installation by running the following commands on your Raspberry Pi: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y upgrade This should solve your import problem. Until that is corrected, the program can not work. Second. What editor did you use to create 'email_startup.p...

This indicates that you may have an installation problem. If you are not running the most recent Raspbian image, I would recommend you update your installation and try your script again.

First thing. What Linux distribution are you using? Doing a quick review of the code, I see a syntax error here: ... smtpserver.ehlo() smtpserver.starttls() smtpserver.ehlo ... The third line above should be: smtpserver.ehlo() The missing '()' will result in an error. With the correction, your scrip...

It is not specific to the LCD code, so you can use it any time you want to reset the SPI configuration. This is why I posted separately, grouped the code at the top of the file. It can be called any time before or after opening the spidev channel. I placed it after the open in the nokiaSPI code beca...

I am assuming your indentation is correct... The way your while is written, it will always evaluate as true. It evaluates the comparison "askanything1 == 'How are you?'". If that is not ture, then it evaluates "'how are you'". Since that is a defined string, it always evaluates as true. With an 'or'...

OK. Here is a Python solution without calling external applications to reload the driver. It basically tests that the SPI GPIO pins are configured for the proper operation. If not, it prints a warning and updates the configuration. SPI configuration test/update: # For SPI configuration test import o...

The 'subprocess' solution works, but is not elegant.

I am working on a Python solution now. It is working for me, but I want to do some more testing before I post the code.

One thing I,ve noticed is that my 'old' code, one that uses the right wiring for SPI, but that does not use the spidev routines will upset subsequent use of the the spidev versions of the code. The spidev code will run without errors, but you'll get a blank screen. If the Pi is rebooted, and the sp...

The initialization sequence to put the display in 4-bit mode is incorrect. From the data sheet and AdaFruit code, it should be: writeBytes(&header, 0x33, 0); //Initialization sequence ... writeBytes(&header, 0x32, 0); //... for 4-bit mode interface writeBytes(&header, 0x28, 0); //... 2 line mode wri...

bgreat

With the AdaFruit code, you can use any pins you choose, but you must update the source for the pins you are using or pass the pins in the arguments when creating your class instance. The pins used by default have no special significance.

I don't "do" github currently. I have attached the sources I used for testing to this message as nokimagpi.tar.gz.

To tzj:

I downloaded and tried the MagPi image. Other than being upside down, it displays correctly. If you are still having problems, maybe try reducing the speed setting when initializing the class.

Le code fonctionne avec le Rev 1 et Rev 2 du Modèle B Raspberry Pi. Il convient également de travailler avec l'Un modèle quand il est disponible. Entre le Rev 1 et Rev 2 planches, la plus grande préoccupation est le GPIO 21/27 et le changement de l'interface I2C canal 0 sur le canal 1. Je n'utilise ...
