Re: Stuck on the Rainbow Screen raspberry pi

OK, so went back to basics - installed ISO of Raspbian on formatted card again. Wouldn't boot on Pi 2, booted on B fine. Wiped the card, downloaded the full Noobs this time, copied to the card and it ran fine on the Pi 2... Tried another of the same microSD fresh out of the wrapper and same thing. ...

Re: Stopped Pi in the middle of first os download

You probably did, so you can simply copy NOOBS to the card again after you format it.

Re: SSH and VNC

Ssh will not allow you if the fingerprint had changed. You can delete /Users/kevin/.ssh/known_hosts which is what I do.

Code: Select all

rm /Users/kevin/.ssh/known_hosts

Re: Wireless adapter suddenly stopped working

First of all, we need to know which dongle you are using. If it is the Edimax 7811UN then it needs a special way to turn of the power management.

Re: How do I power Pi2 and DVD Drive?

I don't have a B+ (hoping for a B2) but most drives should work. If you order through Amazon, then you can return it for no reason. Most will do.

You can up the power to the USB provided you have a good 2A power supply by adding

Re: Raspbian w Kodi vs RaspbMC

Openelec us by far the fastest out of all the other options. It is built from scratch, with no raspbian underneath to take up CPU. I never tried Kodiak on raspbian but openelec is definitely better.

Re: Blank Screen XBMC

You just have to remember to image the card with Win32DiskImager or do and not simply copy the img file. The only image that is updated on the download page is Raspbian all the others you have to get from their respective websites.

Re: Change Linux distribution

You can use NOOBS or berry boot to switch os when you reboot. There is also a file you can write to in NOOBS that will run the specified os after reboot without choosing which is after boot.

It should work fine. I use class 10 cards because they are the only ones I can find in the stores. Class 4 or 6 have faster write speeds and cost less.

There isn't, and, in fact, that was one of the reasons I was hesitant to go that route, but, at the same time, I don't have an issue running Win10 on the box. I'm not beholden or against any particular platform, which is why I didn't really menti...

Re: Noob help

Simply replace switch with the line that checks the GPIO. I don't remember it since I hardly ever use it, but you can look online. Here is a link. Scroll down and you should see the if statements look similar to mine. You can replace the switch with what is said there. http://makezine.com/projects/t...

I have the edimax 7811-UN and apart from disabling the energy saving, I have had no problems with it. I use it to browse, and create an AP. Very good dongle. Search the forums on how to disable power saving for this dongle.

You could put a while loop which checks for the sensor, then calculates the time in another while loop to wait until it is pressed again. You can put the times in a list and at the end of the large while loop, you can calculate the running average. import time times =[] def average(times): total = 0...
