That was my gut feel. The issue I was reporting is that I suspect that some change has been made since the image was release which significantly improves stability. If you only have a zero and an Ethernet adapter you simply can't get to that update. It's a bit like a situation I had years ago when I...

I don't know when the next Raspbian Image is going to be made available, but thought I'd better report this. I got my first Pi Zero today. Wrote the image to card, attached hub with Ethernet adapter in it. All booted fine and could ssh in OK and startx etc - but any ime I tried to "sudo apt-get upda...

Yup. My new cables will go straight into one of my overflowing cable boxes...

Ah well. I've given up waiting for the £4 availabilty. £10.50 it is for one with cables I don't need or want.

Hmmm - I don't want to wait: /etc/rc.local : sudo mount -a - no, doesn't work. /etc/network/interfaces : post-up script - no doesn't work Ok - one more try - a service: sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/mountit.service [Unit] Description=Mount disks [Service] ExecStart=/home/pi/mountit.py [Install] Wanted...

Just had another chance to try things out. PWM pin's fine for setting an ordinary LED blinking. import RPi.GPIO as GPIO GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT) pwm = GPIO.PWM(20, 10) pwm.start(6) while True: continue ...so it's not the hardware. I still can't get anything out of the WS2812B'...

Has anyone else had problems getting these working on a Pi B2? Can anyone point me to a library that works with a Pi B2? I've got a panel of these ready to go into my raspberry pi internet radio ..... I've tried various libraries including: https://github.com/jazzycamel/ws28128-rpi and https://githu...

It's very very easy.

When I saw the question I thought you were asking whether it would be hard for you to switch between two languages. When I do this I keep trying to put semicolons at the end of lines of Python....

See thread "OV5647 Discontinued"

Another questions is around supply of components. While I don't expect the Pi itself to be a problem, there has been some question of the continued availability of the current camera sensor. Having read between the lines of what has been said on this forum I have the feeling that there might be a ne...

You'd need to be a little more specific - but if you can get the numbers to add up on the business plan and you have the expertise to deliver...why not?

piglet

Aha! Thank you. I didn't know there were two different packages to choose from.

Is there a standard robust approach to scheduling mount of network drives once the Pi has network connectivity?

I've moved a Pi from wired to wifi, and the network drive mount now fails at boot.

At the time the mount is attempted the Wifi is still on the way up, I guess

For maximum sound quality I now have my raspberry pi sitting on a constantly running oil-filled turntable. It does tend to rather knot the pi's power cable. (No. Not really) For information, my final setup is: 1) A USB sound card - £1.88 delivered 2) A little Adafruit Stereo 2.8W Class D Audio Ampli...

piglet

The best thing to do is to bin that cable you removed! It's not that it can't "handle" the power, it's that it's probably so poor quality it's losing most of it before it reaches the Pi.

piglet

Thanks for the help. For the record, a cheap USB sound card does what I wanted. On Jessie I configured it with /etc/asound.conf pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 } Then tried various things from here to work out how to control volume: http://blog.scphillips.com/posts/2013...

I finally had a chance to spend some time looking at this tonight. For anyone else with this problem, you may have what I have if you're doing event-driven code e.g. from from a switch or rotary encoder. I was getting events triggered while the python code was trying to communicate with the LCD scre...

I know you mention pull-up/down - but the symptom sounds like a "floating" pin.

The Foundation is a charity. Presumably you can make a donation. Yes, I know. I do my charity giving through GAYE "Give As You Earn". Even if I changed GAYE to "Give All You Earn" I most certainly couldn't get anywhere near what a couple of $ on each Pi Zero would achieve... Anyway, enough of this....

piglet

Yes, "when will production meet or exceed demand"" was close to where I was heading. Actually what I was asking was "Please sir, can I have some more buy one soon?" Re: "I don't see the need to change the pricing" - I see it more of "There could be significant benefits to the charity of increasing t...

It's not a good revenue stream (How much profit can you make on a $5 board!), but it is important to get more boards out there. It's a tradeoff. When I wrote my original post I actually added and then removed that I thought the $5 price point was too low. Much as I like cheap things, I can't see an...

piglet

Thank you. I have to say it's really nice to see the Foundation able to do this without the commercial middle-men. Hopefully this will convert to a nice revenue stream for the charity as well as a lot more boards out there getting used for education in the wider sense. (i.e. I'm not "in education", ...

piglet

As per subject, does anyone know when there will be more general availability of Pi Zero boards at the foundation-intended price?

piglet

I've had good results using MSGEQ7's with Arduinos. I don't see why they wouldn't be equally simple to use on Pi's.

piglet

ARGH! I spoke too soon. It's not fixed. The display's still getting garbled.
