I tried the suggestion to go to the regular mode but I unfortunately seem to have eliminated the shell area. How can I get back to the original Thonny screen which was in "simply" mode and had the "programming area" and the "shell" area below it.

I opened a new project and it showed exactly what you said it would. Thanks for the quick response.

I am a new user of the Raspberry Pi. I know a little about python 2.7 but when I typed some of the code I had previousely written into the Thonny IDE, I began to get unexpected syntax errors. After thinking about this for a while, I'm wondering if it is because Thonny uses python 3.0 not 2.7. If thi...

Hi: I saw your reply and tried your suggestion and it worked perfectly. Thank you for your immediate response. However I do have one small additional question. I originally assumed that the three lines in your response would be typed on the terminal. The 2 apt instructions worked but the terminal di...

I am a new Raspberry Pi user reading the “THE OFFICIAL Raspberry Pi Beginner’s Guide”. The book describes accessing “The Recommended Software tool” which should list a selection of additional software that can be downloaded to the Raspberry Pi. I first used the Chromium Web Browser to verify my conn...

Hi: I've looked at the document you pointed me too, but I still have basic questions. I'm assume that the Claws Client communicates with an existing e-mail account such as the gmail account that I have. When I selected Claws Mail on the Rasberry Pi GUI, it displays the Claws Mail set-up wizard. When...

Hi: I just started to try to set up claws on my Raspberry Pi Zero W but since I really know very little about the parameters that are used in e-mail, I am finding it difficult to know how to answer the question in the set-up. I would like to use as this as a learning experience so does anybody know ...

First let me thank all the users who responded to my post. The problem appears to be that I had to put in the full path name /bin/date for the date command. As to the other entries in the syslog file that are generated every minute, I still don't know what command is being executed but since is the ...

I am attempting to learn how to use cron on the raspberry Pi. I ran the crontab -e command and added the line: " 5 * * * * date >> /home/pi/testing_cron which I believe should run the date command every hour at 5 minutes past the hour and then append the date to the file /home/pi/testing_cron. This ...

Hi: I want to connect a device whose output voltage is a maximum of 5V to a GPIO pin setup as an input. I intend to use a resistor connected between the device output and the GPIO pin to limit the current to the pin. I've looked through the Raspberry Pi documentation but can't seem to find out what ...

Success !!!

BTW: I would still be interested in any documentation that you might be aware that describes this functionality but for the moment I will just
enjoy the satisfaction of being able to access the net

I followed your suggestions and ended up on the "Network Preference" screen that shows the SSID of my router. However even though the "Automatically configure empty options" is checked when I press the "Apply" button the 5 remaining options (IPv4 Address .. DNS Search) on the screen remain blank and...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've found a 3 USB port, 1 Ethernet port hub on the Adafruit web site that seems to be exactly
what I wanted.

Thanks Again

Looking at the Raspberry Pi Zero, I noticed that it does not have a connection for a Network Cable. Is there any way that
I can connected the Pi Zero to one of the Network Connection ports on my router ?

Thanks

In response to your instructions " network icon in task bar. Find your SSID and click on that then enter your WIFI password", I was looking at what I believe in the network icon (It was next to the Bluetooth icon") and I somehow managed to remove the network icon. Short of reloading the OS, is there...

I just finished installing the OS (Linux 9 Stretch) on my first Pi Zero and would now like to setup the system for Wi-Fi. I inserted the dongle on a USB port and then according to the instructions on the site, I am supposed to launch "WI-FI Config" from the desktop. Unfortunately when I entered that...

Hi: I observed the same problem while trying to set up a raspberry Pi Zero. After reading some of the previous replies to the original post, I reformatted the SD card, re-imported the OS and place SD Card into the Pi Zero. The only other thing I did differently from the failed attempt was to remove ...

I recently purchase a PiFace Digital board and attached it directly to my Raspberry Pi. I then brought up the simulator and was able to use it to cause the selected LEDs on the Digital board to light up. I then connected the same board to the Pi using the Piface Rack board. I checked the address pin...

Hi: I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi with the default Raspbian OS. An article I am reading said that FTP is normally included in a Linux distribution, but when I attempt to execute the FTP command, the system indicated it could not find the command. Is FTP included in the OS and if not, where can...

the keyboard to a UK and not US layout.
