Re: Raspberry Pi doesn't stay powered up for long.

... crash like this with a PI in July or August I think on another thread. I eventually found a combination of SD Card (and wheezy) that - if I didn't wiggle it about too much - stayed up & running. In fact It has sat still on a shelf posting sensor data to COSM and ThingSpeak and database server/webserver ...

Re: Weirdness on high GPIO pints

So wiggling pin 13 (MISO) appears to cause pin 14 (SCLK) to wiggle too. Wiggling pin 14 has no effect (output 0), and wiggling pin 15 (TxD) also appears to cause pin 14 to wiggle too. The code looks fine, but no, I've no observed that behaviour at all! ...

Re: SD image too big for another SD Card

... The only solution that I've ever had work is to never expand the partition/filesystem to the full size of the card, which is why I wrote the rpi-wiggle script. But if I did expand it using the expand ability in raspi-config, there was no easy way going back.

Re: RPI-Wiggle - Expand to SDcard size leaving room

I had a friend messing around doing what you are attempting to do, but he was having the same issues. Not really sure of the answer.

My understanding (which can be inaccurate) is that you can't resize the ext4 partition down without removing the filesystem and recreating it.
