No, I'm afraid only Chromium can be installed on the Raspberry Pi, because the Pi has an ARM processor. Chromium works in almost exactly the same way as Chrome though, so i'd install that.

To run a command on startup or on login look at the first answer here.

To shutdown using the GPIO pins and a simple pushbutton see here.

I'm afraid you need the Google Talk plugin which isn't available with ARM 6, the Raspberry Pi's processor technology. Even then you'd need to faff around getting a webcam set up. There is a voice over IP program but you may need to get your friends Raspberry Pi!

There is no "special" version of Raspbian as far as I know. If you install the sense python library and attach the Sense HAT then you pretty much have the same software as that used aboard the ISS.

You can't use an HDMI cable to connect your Pi to your laptop. You can either use putty or use a remote desktop server on your pi (e.g. tightvncserver) to interface with a remote desktop program on your laptop (e.g. tightvnc viewer)

Have you tried Microsoft Remote Desktop?

As in mobile data as opposed to WiFi

I'm guessing it's not even possible. We only have USB and Ethernet interfaces on the Pi that can get data in at speed. And as far as I can tell neither of them have the bandwidth to accommodate an HDMI signal.

Yep. The HDMI is output only.

NOOBS allows you to install operating systems for the Pi without the need for any as much new software on your Windows computer. You just need the formatting tool from SD Formatter. There's a guide at https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/ . It basically simplifies the installation process be...

Is the green light flashing? If not I'd order a new SD card or reflash the existing one using a computer. It seems likely you didn't shut down the Pi properly, corrupting the SD card.

ThomasS

Where have you specified the font? I'd do it within the head inside a style tag in CSS. E.g.

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<style>
body {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<h1> My website </h1>
</body>

</html>

Hello all! I'm planning a surveillance system for my home. I would like to connect at least 4 cameras over cat 6 cables to rpi 2. But how many cameras can rpi2 handle? (I read some discussions about it but I don't get the point... Be patient, please!) I don't want to record 24/7 but I just want to ...

I'd try Chromium with pepperflash. Works fine for me.

ThomasS

If your monitor has an HDMI input, you can use it. All relatively modern TV screens will also work. You can also setup the Pi with a screen temporarily and then connect to it via remote desktop from another computer.

ThomasS

I am fairly sure you'll need a relay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6ZagKRnRdM

ThomasS

You could always download Chromium. Pepperflash can then be installed viewtopic.php?t=99202

This doesn't take into account rotation and stuff. However, I've been working on a formula this evening. In my experience, AmbientTemp - ( (CPUtemp - AmbientTemp) / 2 ) is accurate to within a degree or two. Hope this helps someone!

ThomasS

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

ThomasS

I have the same issue. I'm using XRDP Remote Desktop and the program works fine with the keyboard but not with the Astro Pi joystick. I've also tried the example program but to no avail.

Have you tried a stacking header as suggested above?

ThomasS

It's quite unlikely that both are faulty. Have you tried different power supplies? Have you tried re-formatting the SD card or swapping SD cards with the other two, working Pi?

ThomasS

Just in case you weren't aware Windows 10 for IoT has no desktop or GUI. It is all command line based. I haven't used Windows 10 for IoT but is this link any good: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SettingUp ... ryPi2.aspx?

Yes, but I would suspect that not many would be connected to the internet and of those few would be registered with Rastrack.

Codecademy's fine to start with and then you could move on to doing projects. I haven't moved on from Python and I don't really think its necessary. Lots of big companies like Google and Dropbox use python. However if you want to move on then I don't know about ruby but you could try C# or Pascal.

OK, so are you saying that painted radiators discharge static (as long as they're not isolated)? Also do you have any idea re the wristband question? No, I'm saying that you shouldn't really trust a radiator as a point to discharge static, whether they are painted or not. The wristband is the best ...

ThomasS

First thanks to everyone for their brilliant advice. Thanks Gordon! I think I'll do as you suggest and get a wristband after all to avoid doing complicated manoeuvres with one foot on the radiator. Thanks to Dougie Lawson as well; I didn't know radiators couldn't be painted to discharge static and ...
