Adding a shutdown button to issue a power-off key press is now rather easy. The corruption issues seemed more prevalent on pi2/3, but is still quite common. A failed card simply ignores updating the content rather than telling the user an area is no longer working. Often, online shops sell counterfe...

If I recall correctly, there are ways to modify the FTDI USB-to-serial transceiver adapter modules to generate the necessary timings with special driver software. I do not know if anyone built a wrapper script for python yet, but the DMX protocol itself is usually simple enough once proprietary vend...

The grbl firmware for low precision belt-drive machines can be very fast for engravers.

FreeCAD now has the Path toolbox which generates 3-axis g-code.

Try to check corrupted server files with: sudo apt-get install debsums sudo debsums -sac note only /etc config files, and missing text files should ideally be reported in the audit. Then reinstall your server (after backing-up corrupted binary for later analysis): sudo apt-get purge openssh-server s...

In Bash, after you type your ssh command... run "echo $?" to get the program exit code. Codes: 0=Success 1=Undetermined error in file copy 3=Destination is not directory, but it should be 4=Connecting to host failed 5=Connection lost for some reason 6=File does not exist 7=No permission to...

try your home dir ;-) cd ~ ls -lAh Also, we recently did a OpenCV 3.4.5 build for legacy Stretch based ROS: https://sourceforge.net/projects/micrometer-cnc-on-raspberry-pi/files/2019_jul4_v0.1rc2_current/ I have talked with some of the awesome devs about openCV 4, and specifically about the perils o...

Have a look at ROS or MRPT.

You will need to be more specific about the platform, as guidance and navigation are separate classes of problems.

Cheers.

If you use an overlayfs then its only the upper of the merge mount that is readwrite so the only files are ones written to or writing are in ram and fetched from lower by the CoW (copy on write) of the overlayfs. The overlayfs method also allows one to track down which programs tend to slowly flood...

Is ROS necessary for making the robot. Not always, but it will train you how to re-use a standard popular platform, and a minimal remote sensor/driver API. Both these concepts are important for understanding more complex platforms... yet you can start with just the turtle-bot sim demos. And i think...

The MCP3008 may require Vref to be less than or equal to Vcc (3.3v)... I'd use a Voltage divider on the sensor output to scale into a safe input range under 2.7v until this property is known.

In general, one must make several choices when designing a platform, and define the task you are trying to solve. Like any software specification, having a clearly defined finish line will constrain the complexity of your project. ROS ( https://wiki.ros.org/melodic ) is the current standard of sever...

All of that will fail 100%. There's no NTP installed in Raspbian by default. Time sync is done with systemd-timedatectl. Even with ntp added after there's no ntpdate any longer (replaced with ntpd -q -g). And yes, 2 of the above lines will likely not work (20% fail to be exact)... depending on the ...

If your device has a max time adjust forwards limit in NTP, and was left off too long... than SSL issues can occur. Try running: date sudo service ntp stop sudo ntpdate -s us.pool.ntp.org sudo ntpd -gq sudo service ntp start sudo ntpdate -u time.nist.gov date Then reboot the machine to retry your SS...

InvenSense gyros tend to drift pretty badly/fast, and setting a low-pass down-sampling filter only gets you so far. A slower magnetometer is important as it usually offers the only true consistent directional reference using magnetic declination (once calibrated). Unfortunately, these "9-axis&q...

They mention a 38KHz amplifier+de-modulator that runs at 3.3v just fine: https://www.adafruit.com/product/157 Keep in mind there are many different remotes, IR wavelengths, and any one of 34/38/40/56 kHz modulations. There were a few receivers that could auto-select several frequencies, but I can't ...

This camera likely supports tethering: http://gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php People use several tricks to trigger the shutter in a lightning storm, and as they must be fast it usually limits the complexity of the circuit.

The reason many people use the bme280 is that it is reliable, accurate, and repeatable. Swapping sensors can be a pain, but sometimes using a different chip just works out being easier, and wastes less of your time in the long term. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=239157 ...

I usually prefer a native cross platform C++ lib like wxwidgets for GUI stuff: https://wxwidgets.org/ (it has its own set of constraints, but works on most platforms) If wxglade wasn't so unstable, the visual layout scaffold coding experience would be trivial: http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/ https:/...

Raspbian has "Raspberry Pi Desktop" which is a fork of LXDE......... We use a minimal MATE package on the Raspbian Stretch Lite image (MATE image itself seemed out of date), as it was more consistent with traditional Ubuntu/Mint style community documentation and supported a configurable g...

Why do you believe the OP is running Gnome Desktop . It is a common issue people may have, and the "volume control applet" is usually more meaningful than "pactl list; aplay -l;" or fumbling in the "alsamixer" terminal interface with F6 menu. I assumed they are using l...

We use the BME280 (several years of uptime), and I dumped the DHT/SHT units we sampled in the e-waste recycling bucket after testing the repeatability over several months (cleaved the leads off to ensure they stayed gone). I suggest you do the same... as although there will be a few people who insis...
