I suppose that it is not rare that tying for a solution the approach will be installing packages on the Raspberry PI environment, check how the stuff works then abandoning the solution to move to a different approach. This usually means sudo apt-get ...
There is something that I use almost intensively on the Linux environments and after testing this feature on Pi SSH connection I have decided to make this post. Frankly I am not sure if I have find nothing about the -Y feature mentioned around Elemen...
Why build a radar?If you have an interest in aircraft then a cheap and easy way to receive details of aircraft near to you is using a cheap USB TV tuner as a software defined radio to decode aircraft radar transponder transmissions. Modern transponde...
See what can be done in only a few hours of learning:-Hi everyone, there has been a lot of speculation as to the functionality of Windows 10 on the PI2 This has focused initially on the fact it wont have a GUI display and be well rather none eve...
I received a Raspberry Pi2 from element14 and in this post i will share about my experience. Pi is really evolving and getting better with the time. Here are my experiences and observations.1.BOOT TIMEThe first difference you will find when you will ...
Sorry it's late.But I want to share some Pics here.Thanks element14Dave for appreciating me by sending this amazing thing.I am planning some interesting projects.I will post them soon.
Or Commands for the Terminal Note: there are two “modes” you can work with in Linux. One is a user mode with basic access privileges, and the other is a mode with administrator access privileges (AKA super user, or root). Certain tasks cannot be...
Now that the hype is really building up around the Raspberry Pi 2 Model BRaspberry Pi 2 Model B, many of us are quicklysnapping up available stock. However, one of the most asked questions is whether or not peripherals are compatible with the new Pi....
In this Post we go beyond the setup of the I2C, SPI and OneWire interfaces on the PI2 and look at how to integrate some common I2C analogue IO devices, specifically the following DAC8571 Quad 16bit DAC:- http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/da...
In this post of the Raspberry PI series we look at what is required to setup a Raspberry PI 2 after the initial Raspbian setup. It assumes you have completed "sudo atp-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" or that you install is up to date and you c...
Many of you are into Raspberry PI's in one way or another, some are happy to just use it as a programming platform, others want to extend into the control side of things. This Post is the start of a series to explore how you can easily and cheap...
Now, many of you probably know that the Pi 2 was supposedly not going to be released until 2017. However, obviously, it came early. When the Pi 2 was released, I got super geeked about it - I mean, it came early and it has amazing specs! Then, w...
IntroIn this blog post I will describe how I used the SPI interface of the Raspberry Pi 2 (and Raspberry Pi) to communicate with an Arduino board.Both the RPi and Arduino are connected to a nRF24L01+ chip to communicate with each other via the SPI in...
OpenELEC is a special Linux distribution because it runs a single specialized application: Kodi. As a consequence of being understandably cautious, there are limitations to what a user can do in terms of administration in this environment. ...
A few folks seem to have stumbled over network set up and using SSH in OpenELEC on Pi 2. So this technote shares my experience in hopes that it might help others clear those hurdles. Also, I added overclocking here because I found that it...
This is a much-needed update to the blog entry that I wrote in April 2015 with respect to RPi2 and was last updated this past September. Much thanks for comments by clem57 , anthonyworth , and sergiokob (RPi3 comments).Why a static IP address f...
A couple of months ago, while visiting the element14 community blog, I chanced upon the “Tis the Season for Inventing” contest announcement. The challenge was to submit innovative ideas using either the Arduino, Raspberry-Pi or BeagleBone Black platf...
Interested in several applications; integrate the system into my home security system; Inside and Outside cameras; Color and Night UV. Connect to Smart Phones... Application to Locate and Price Items in stores such as; Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Sea...
Ok, so I've attempted to do a layout/flowchart of the project I'm working on. I've printed it in PDF format hoping to make it more visible. I don't know if this clears up my though process or not, but... I'm thinking, use the Arduino to sca...
This technote covers setting up the Xfce desktop environment and session manager on a Raspberry Pi. Folks who use a Linux distribution that make use of Xfce will find the Raspbian Xfce quite familiar. I find that the look and feel o...
