Pi presents. Unless you want to code yourself.

See sig.

greedy :) stereo vision for your self-driving car controlled by a raspi? No actually one is for my parents and one is for my own general usage / learning testing etc. Happy to take advice on this. My parents live on a farm in Cornwall and in their front garden they've quite a nice bird table that g...

I have many buttons on my test box for Pi Presents and all have a 330 ohm resistor wired in series with the button (to stop me blowing up the PI should an input be accidentally programmed as an output). I would have thought that you should have no problems with the thinnest of cable for your applica...

KenT

Have you tried heating it up and banging it on the desk. Also de-solder wick. Use a very fine bladed watchmakers screwdriver as a drill.

KenT

Don't need Piface, just connect the inputs to 0 volts via your buttons. Cost tuppence, not twenty pounds.

Best to add a series resistor for safety.

Have a look at the wiki http://elinux.org/Category:RaspberryPi

I used the editor to make a new profile and this placed them in root/pp_home, yet these work. According to everything ive read so far the profiles should be in /home/pi/pp_home Am i doing something wrong??? use the options menu item in the editor to change the location of the pp_home directory and ...

My problem with no case is that the sharp bits underneath the board scratch the wooden desk.

KenT

Hi, Im just trying out this software but cant get it to run properly. I get the black screen popping up and the welcome message but I also get an error message that says; "The commandline options specified a profile that does not exist" Ive installed the examples, but still no luck. However, Ive no...

Ive just installed PiPresents on a raspi that's been packed a way for a while. I tried accessing some web based apps already installed on the box, but instead of getting them Im getting a page from thttpd, which appears to be a web server. Is this installed as part of the Pi Present installation? I...

KenT

Hi Ken, Awesome program and coding, right now I'm trying to find out if it's possible to play and pause a video with a PIR sensor, since PiPresents came up on google I thought I'd ask. I looked through the code and saw the button states and am asking if it's possible to change the play/pause from t...

KenT

It should work. Do you read data from a file? if you do you need to make sure that the file paths are tolerant of starting from a directory other than the one in which the code is stored, also using sudo alters the user to 'root' and therefore the home directory. With Pi Presents I found it necessar...

Could you raise a bug report here,

https://github.com/asb/spindle/issues?page=1&state=open

either Alex as keeper of the raspberry pi images or myself as keeper of the python games source code will sort it out. I agree Python Games should work out of the box and has done in previous releases

KenT

Ken, yes we also use PIL for working with the image info but to actually render the image to the screen do you use tk? Also, did you get anywhere with your idea to integrate pi3d rendering into pipresents? I must admit that I still haven't cloned your github onto my pi yet. Yes I use Tk to actually...

Hi Ken, thank you for your answer. I have a tv with hdmi conected to raspberry and this raspberry conected to ethernet in a room, I try to use via vnc the raspberry with my pc in another room. I understand that i have to use Pi Presents directly with a usb keyboard connected to the raspberry, doesn...

Hello Ken! I have recently install Pi presents and I try to run the example with sarename.gif name 1. in a hdmi tv I can see the video but I can´t see the text and picture. 2. In PC I can see picture and text and i listen the audio of the video but i can see it (in my pc I don´t have hdmi) Basicall...

I use the Python Imaging Library.

KenT

So, thanks to your help, I've gotten a video to play, pause, and loop. I've got a photo slideshow that loops through some images, and can be paused. My next attempt was to make a multimedia presentation. Here's how I envisioned it in my head: Presentation starts on an image. Pressing next plays a s...

2. It appears that the wonderful Dom has just taken over the official version

KenT

Hi Ken, The instructions contained in the manual in section 5.4 and 5.5 worked fine. Thank you. What I'm actually after is for the video to run in a seamless loop. There seems to be a 25 second delay between the loop. any clues as to how to avoid this? Section 10.1.2 of the manual says to set repea...

KenT

G'day Ken, I've been playing with your pipresents software for a week or so now and love it! Many thanks for building and sharing it with the world. I am doing some work with a local artist who presents video work here in Adelaide Australia and just need a way to loop a single or multiple video tra...

KenT

I'm currently working on an extension to my Pi Presents (see sig) which will allow just this ( assuming the keypad looks like a keyboard and gives alphanumeric character codes. If you want to write your own than pyomxplayer is a good way to go. Note however that pyomxplayer will not work with the cu...

KenT

The format of the messages from omxplayer has been changed in the past few months so pyomxplayer will not work. The change has just found its way into the main Raspbian distribution. You need to remove the bit that makes the dictionary. Look at https://github.com/KenT2/tboplayer/blob/master/tboplaye...

KenT

I think James is thinking of my 'Pi Presents' (see sig for details) or Screenly.

If you could output your slideshow as jpegs Pi presents could play them. No special effects though as rendering is by the Python Imaging library.

KenT

Try my Pi Presents. See signature for details. Its aimed at Linux newbies

KenT

Another package - maybe my Pi presents. See signature for details. For powerpoints I output the slides as .jepgs. Libreoffice might do the same.
