No, sorry. If its the green light that's not coming on then its most likely the SD card being corrupt that's the problem. You could have a look at the boot sticky DougieLawson linked to, but again it's most likely the SD card. Did you unplug the Pi without shutting it down, use 'sudo poweroff', or u...

A list of compatible wi-fi adapters and anything else which needs to be done to get them working can be found here http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters . Not all adapters work plug-and-play, some need to be installed manually (like mine did!) and a guide to that can be found here http://elinux.o...

Does the red light come on? If not the pi probably isn't getting enough power. Does your power supply work (try using it in another device; e.g. for charging a phone)? If its the green light which isn't coming on and the red one is, then your SD card has probably been corrupted. Re-flash it in your ...

To access the web, you can plug your pi into your router with an ethernet cable. Just plug one end into the router, and plug the other into the pi. However, you can also use Wi-Fi, with a Wi-Fi adapter . I would recommend getting a pi-specific model such as the 'pi hut usb wifi adapter' (just google...

I assume you mean in python. If so, email is documented at https://docs.python.org/2/library/email.html . Libraries such as this one allow you to use countless more features in python. Some, like email, come pre-installed with python, but others, such as twython, need to be downloaded. For this reas...

ThomasS

Do you have much programming experience, and if so to what degree?

ThomasS

Just to clarify, when you say 'checked the power supply', do you mean you measured the voltage?

ThomasS

Firstly, your Android phone won't have an ir transmitter so, no, you don't need an ir sensor for your pi. If you are using RaspBMC you can control your pi over Wi-Fi with an app such as Yatse on your phone. Otherwise, if you're using Raspbian, use remote desktop (e.g. xrdp).

ThomasS

You can use the picamera python library. See http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/5672 .

ThomasS

It should be, but adapters don't always output the power they say they do. If you have another micro-usb phone charger lying around, you could try that.

ThomasS

Sounds like a power supply problem. Try another and see if that helps.

ThomasS

No idea about your first question, but NOOBS allows you to multi-boot different OSes, or you can just switch SD cards, and , yes, most USB keyboards / mice will work with the Pi.

ThomasS

Same problem. I have tried the posted solutions. Any advice?

ThomasS

You could do VNC over internet, see: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 2&p=383172. I found it fairly easy to install, although it took a few attempts.

ThomasS

Completely agree with no. 4!

See my response to http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/viewto ... 60#p521060 .

ThomasS

You can add other files to /var/www (to open file manager as root, click tools, then file manager as root, or similar). This should make them available on the server.

From http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/6957/how-to-disable-raspberry-pi-power-management The wireless device goes to sleep after a period of no activity. It's a powersaving scheme. You need to turn off the powersave feature of wlan0. I'm using an edimax wireless usb receiver: Bus 001 De...

ThomasS

Try this, but I struggled: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 2&p=383172
EDIT: Managed it now!

As long as you have typed sudo apt-get install xrdp in the terminal, and received no errors, then that's all you need to do on the pi. On your PC, you don't need to type http, just type your pi's IP address, in the format 192.168.x.xxx , in to the remote desktop program (already installed on Windows...

ThomasS

I use xrdp. sudo apt-get install xrdp on the pi, then type the pi's IP address in to microsoft remote desktop on your PC.

ThomasS

Why do you have to type /wordpress? Why not just put WordPress in the root folder of your server? I'm not sure whether the pi could do this, and if it could it would be considerably slower than your existing server. You could use your pi as the sole server, but you'd still have the speed problem.

ThomasS

Why not use the official Raspberry Pi camera?

ThomasS

I don't think this is possible - simply from an electronics point of view - but I believe there is a way to add more GPIO pins to the Pi with the pin header. It's mentioned at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspberrypi/tutorials/turing-machine/two.html under 'Expanding the Raspberry Pi Pin Header'.

ThomasS

1) Yes, see http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 74&p=47083 .

2) Wired switches are really simple to do. However, although I' m sure you could do wireless switches, it would be quite difficult.
