Thanks for the replies but I'm asking about how to use a multimeter to test a cable(usb in this case). Words like impedance, resistance and ohms are mentioned in articles but not explained in layman's terms. Easiest way is to grab an old cable with a matching plug/socket and chop it in half. Strip s...

Hello could you please help. I have a multimeter but don't know how to use it properly. The sort of answers I'm looking for when searching google are. 1- does the cable have a partial break in it. 2- is the cable fit for what I'm using it for. To be clear e.g. a usb cable has four wires in it and ea...

It always helps to say what you mean.

Yep it does but sometimes with computers 2+2=5
Thanks anyway for your help

@DougieLawson
Thanks, will try it out later on today.

Works like a charm.

Which files need configuring so I can ssh directly from my laptop(linux os) into a raspberry pi(rasbian os) using a ethernet cable.
Thanks

@algorithm
Thanks that worked

fig

Thanks for the reply
~/.bashrc was the first thing I tried

fig

Made a /root/bash_aliases file and rebooted but command not found
e.g
alias heat='/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp'

me@here ~ $ heat
-bash: heat: command not found

Thanks

I think a jumper will do for my needs.
Thanks again for all your help

fig

Thanks for the information and link, very helpful. Seems that a jumper is what I need to do but I'm a little confused. When I jumper the PowerOn(pin 16 green) to Ground(black) with an ordinary piece of cable/wire I get 5v and 12v current but not with the Sense(pin 13 brown) to Ground(black) so shoul...

Hello I'm fig
I've been using linux as my main OS for a few years, built a couple of pc's in the past and just bought my first multimeter and raspberry pi recently.
Happy days

Thanks for the reply I've managed to get just the raspberry pi running of the standby wire and now I need to supply power for the peripherals. The video(linked by waygood post #4) mentions that I need a 'NPN Transistor' but which one should I buy, I have a choice of three. Low Power LF NPN Transisto...

I'll be connecting parts from a desktop pc to the raspberry pi which is why I've decided to use a ATX power supply unit. I found this thread which offers a few suggestions http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=43000&p=391540 And the post by 'waygood' seems to be what I need to do bu...
