Re: [Solved] Time does not sync on Pi 3 and with official dongle
sntp -s time.google.com seems to work as a clock adjuster, I'm just a bit unsure about if it keeps running or not after I've used it? It generally does the adjustment in just a few seconds. ntpd -qg is definitely a one shot that I can use each modem power up but it takes at least a quarter of a minu...

Re: [Solved] Time does not sync on Pi 3 and with official dongle
I've got Jessie on a Pi0 whose only internet connection is a 3G modem that powers up briefly every 10 mins to squirt some data to a website. I'm in all all sorts of strife with ntp, ntpd, sntp, etc. I've tried shutting down the automatic service (/etc/init.d/ntp stop) & running sntp -s google.co...

Re: Raspberry Pi B+ turn usb power off
I can't seem to compile this program on a Pi0 with Jessie. Get an error 'undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status' and after that the hub-ctrl.c program is gone?!

Re: import subprocess nuance
The first fn was throwing an error saying 'subprocess referenced before assignment' but I just removed it's 'import subprocess' & it's not complaining so I'm even more confused now. Python interpreters are moody creatures.

import subprocess nuance
I import subprocess at the top of a python 2.7 program. The program calls a couple of functions that also use subprocess. The 1st fn has the line p = subprocess.Popen (['python', '/home/pi/gpioA-D/pot_cap.py'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE) The 2ndr uses catdata = subprocess.Popen([...

Re: STICKY:I2C, SPI, I2S, LIRC, PPS, stopped working? Read this.
Phil, a year or so ago you were kind enough to write me a w1-gpio-intpullup.dtb file that eliminated the need for the external 4k7 on the DS18B20 data line in Wheezy by substituting the more than adequate strong internal pull up available on gpio4 I renamed the file w1-gpio-intpullup.dtbo & it w...

.dtbo Vs .dtb
Device tree puzzles me greatly but I'm making the effort. I've got a w1-gpio-intpullup-overlay.dtb file from my Wheezy days with the DS18B20 that I'd like to use with Jessie. Alas this is pushing my userland slum credentials. Anybody know how to convert this to a Jessie compatible .dtbo file?

Re: PiZero:Low speed USB devices don't work with Hub (05e3:0
Having exactly the same problem here, doesn't really seem to be any of the issues mentioned in the 2013 engineer post. The fact that the keyboard/gensys combo works when connected to the pi via the TerminusTech hub just floors me, I guess because it hammers home how much I don't know about USB.

Just as a matter of interest the GPIO.add_event_detect(channel, GPIO.OPTION, callback=my_callback) version of this fn crashes the I2C bus if you happen to be using the bus at the time the interrupt occurs. If you can wait till you're not using the bus to service the interrupt then GPIO.add_event_det...

Re: Pi Zero ethernet
For what it's worth the updated wheezy sd from my Pi3 works OK with the 9601 chipset, you don't have to go to jessie. The particular combined usbhub/ethernet unit I had was a dud but a 9601 based ethernet only adapter was fine.
