You'll have to find out what the authentication and encryption type are. It's the same as when you set up your laptop, smartphone, or whatever else is connected to the wifi. If you can log into the wireless router, you can find the configuration there. If not, you'll have to talk to someone who know...
Thanks for the reply. Since asking the questions I've bitten the bullet and ordered up a model B with SD card preloaded with noobs that should turn up today :) FYI, the preinstalled card that I got had a painfully out-of-date version of NOOBS installed. I recommend that if you can, you update NOOBS...
For basic setup: Create a new user account and disable the Pi account. Optionally, set a password on the root account. Set up sudo so that it requires a password. Don't install any services that you don't need. If you do need services installed, lock those down individually. Really, it's just like a...
http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup The Raspbian default install (available through the NOOBS installer) includes both a C compiler (gcc) and Python. Once you have that, look up Gordon's WiringPi library. It has some tutorials that will start with blinking an LED and working up to a crosswalk s...
Would it be possible, using this capture card connected to the Raspberry Pi via USB, to stream to twitch.tv? There are two barriers that I can think of: 1) Compatibility with the capture card and 2) Ability to stream to a site like twitch.tv It's important to note that I don't actually have the cap...
Hi All, never heard of Raspberry Pi until about an hour ago, an assistant in Maplin told me a bit, My daughter is in her last year at uni and is onto her final pieces, so I got one of those "can you help Dad" calls Katie wants to Automate approx 10-20 cocktail umbrellas just to open and close in a ...
The cobbler is a connector that you plug into a breadboard which allows you to run a single cable back to the Pi, connecting to all the GPIO pins so that you can access the pins more easily on the breadboard. If you're planning to use a breadboard and aren't strapped for cash, I recommend one. It wo...
thanks for the tip rpdom. The thing is that I've deleted /tmp and recreated it back but forgot to set the permissions. What I did as per your advice, was sudo chmod -R 777 /tmp Now it works. Thanks Shouldn't matter, but to match a default install you should probably chown and chgrp it to root, also.
A simple alarm system will have 1 wire connecting all the switches (normally closed) in series. If a switch opens the alarm triggers. Simple, yes. There are better options. First off, using a pull-up at one end of the wire and the other end connected to ground will permit you to know whether the wi...
I met another problem and quite confused. I created my own account , I hava set a root password, I have locked Pi user . Then I found when I want to sudo , just like sudo apt-get install vim , I am asked to input sudo passwd: [sudo] password for user_test: Then I found only password for my account ...
Call it with sudo. You need to execute your Python script as sudo python myscrypt.py
Sudo means "I want the root user to execute the following command." Think of it as meaning SuperUser (aka root) DO this.
2v2 and leave them to play sett game for 24hs and look to see score and then try them to play with lets say my desktop Yes i know desktop will win i just fort it would be cool to watch them play If they're both running the same algorithms then the wins will be split 50/50. Agreed, unless there is a...
If you're getting 404 errors as the OP was, it's either that you didn't apt-get update and your cache is out of date, or you're using a repository that no longer exists. If so, follow the instructions in the link above.
Is there any way to make out what the HDMI port in any device is made for ? Input or Output ? TV is a display device but it is HDMI port receives input but a Tab or MP4 player also has a display but mostly their HDMI port is made for output. It sounds like you answered your own question. In a displ...
Your error sounds like you don't have that module. A quick google search led me to instructions on how to install it: https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki#install Give that a try. You'll be installing a new kernel, which requires a reboot (it's in the instructions.) You'll probably have to redo the o...
@Trace Firstly, thanks.. I figured out the problem, the problem was with the OS i guess. I tried downloading the same in debian and I successfully downloaded it. I'm trying to figure why i'm unable to download it in windows! can you help me out with that? If you mean me (Tarcas, not Trace, but I do...
No device on the market, as far as I know, has both input and output on the same port. If it's used for output, it can't be used for input and vice versa.
Sorry this isn't answering the question that you asked, but if this is being used for speech synthesis, why not use an actual text to speech program? I use flite (Festival Lite, which is supposed to work better on the Pi than Festival) It's as easy as: flite -t "text to speak" I have also used espea...
@Deejay After I click on the downloads (offline install zip) it displays the size of the file(1.3GB) besides that no download happens. Yeah I'm went to the same website. I'm using windows 7 to download that. Sounds like the problem is with your Windows box. Have you tried rebooting? Do you have suf...
Using a white or blue LED on a 3.3 volt GPIO probably isn't going to work, since the forward voltage of the LED is very close to or even above the supply voltage. Red, Green, Amber LEDS should be OK on 3.3V I have two water-clear blue LEDs on a single GPIO pin and it works just fine. I know I loade...
First you need the public IP of the network the server (Pi) is on. You can get this from the router (look at the external interface status) or visit whatismyip.com from the same network. Second, set up the port forwarding. You can use any external port you like (assuming your ISP isn't firewalling i...
Getting the same thing as the op. I've just updated everything with apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade, then rpi-update, all over wlan0 After a reboot, I can get into the pi with both ssh and xrdp, but it won't resolve to things like bbc.co.uk I'm not sure if I had one before, but I haven't got /...
