Has the maximum number of USB endpoints been increased? It would be good to be able to hook up more than half a dozen USB peripherals. It's an xHCI controller - number of endpoints is no longer the limit, number of device slots is. HCSPARAMS1 = 0x05000420 -> 0x20 for number of slot IDs -> 32 simult...

Did anybody complain about the M2.5 mounting holes (same as on previous models) yet? I can do that if you want :D M2.5 standoffs are horribly expensive compared to M3 or M2, what were you thinking?? (Ok, I spare you the huge font...) But 3mm drill bits are cheap, takes 2 minutes to drill the holes ...

Yeah, that would be nice. With the old Raspberrys, maximum useable number of Atheros 9271 wifi sticks is three and in general usb was subject to timing issues.

With the new Videocore 6 and higher GPU freq and faster RAM, is my assumption correct, that h.264 encoding and decoding will be faster, i.e. the glass-to-glass latency will be slightly lower?

You may want to have a look at this before you start re-inventing everything ;) https://github.com/bortek/EZ-WifiBroadcast/wiki https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2664393-EZ-WifiBroadcast-cheap-digital-HD-transmission-made-easy%21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfz9F9lOMm8 https://vimeo...

Mine also is affected. Bought on 7th of April at Conrad Electronic in Germany.

Hey Paeryin, I've tried your openvg fork now. CPU load reported by top for my process went down from about 16% to 11%, rendering time (time measured from before Start() to after End() call) from about 55ms to 25ms. More than 100% speed increase plus lower CPU load just by swapping the libraries, tha...

has anything changed inside the kernel regarding MT7601 dongles from 4.4 to 4.9? Users of my EZ-Wifibroadcast distribution report that their MT7601 adapters stopped working after I upgraded the image from kernel 4.4 to kernel 4.9.35. The card is detected by the kernel: dmesg: [ 1.681561] usb 1-1.5: ...

Exactly what I couldn't find somehow. Thanks a lot.

Is there a Raspbian release history somewhere? Possibly with changelog and the older images for download?

I would like to download the image before the latest (2017-04-10), don't know what it's version name is and can't find anything.

There is the alternate acronym for MPEG - Motion Pictures Except Grass. LOL. Yeah, I know similar effects from watching DVB-T (mpeg-2 I think) around new years eve, when it shows fireworks, it gets really blocky, seems to be something the codec cannot deal with very good. I just wouldn't have thoug...

I found something where I'm not sure if this is correct behavior of the camera (or the h264 encoder). When walking through the woods, sometimes parts of the images are heavily "blocky". At first, I attributed this to the complex light conditions in a forest and the fact that in wintertime there is n...

The other thing I have noticed is that if I connect the wifi dongle whilst the RPI is on, it hangs. If I reboot the RPI comes up, but the eth0 is completely unresponsive as is my wireless keyboard plugged into a spare USB port Yeah, USB on the Pi has always been and still is a mess. Simple things l...

While that sounds logical from a developers perspective, it's quite weird from the user's perspective ;) Is there no way of finding out which resolution, fps and mode the cam is actually using? With those kinds of differences and "corner cases", I always feel like "hmm, is it _really_ doing what I t...

rodizio

Whichever mode it reckons fulfils the criteria specified and should give the best image quality. On the V2 camera that is predominantly frame rate dependent (which side of 40fps). Yes, this was also my understanding and why I asked why there is a difference. You don't say how the FOV is changing be...

rodizio

Why do I get a different FOV when running

Code: Select all

raspivid -w 1280 -h 720 -fps 48 -t 0 -md 6

compared to:

Code: Select all

raspivid -w 1280 -h 720 -fps 48 -t 0

Cam is a Pi V2 cam. Which mode is the cam using when not explicitly setting the mode?

Thanks for the info guys. Edited my initial post regarding hardware/software uart to not confuse others. Is it maybe possible (with everything being so small and the PCB having many layers I doubt it, but ...) to access these pins somewhere else on the PCB? Just did some more searching on the topic,...

rodizio

Just to clarify for me, as I understand, on the Pi3 there are the following options: - disable BT and have UART0 (ttyAMA0) on the TXD/RXD pins on the GPIO header for external connections - keep BT enabled and have UART1 (ttyS0) on the TXD/RXD GPIO pins for external connections - keep BT enabled and ...

Never seen something like this in dmesg log, what does it mean?

Regarding the overclocking not increasing openVG performance:

Setting gpu_freq=400 and force_turbo=1 in config.txt sped up things quite a lot for me. Force turbo is important.

rodizio

Thanks for the info. Sounds not too good though ... When I spoke of the compute module, I meant complete with I/O board, designing and building a smaller solution would be too much effort. Reason for two Pi Zeros being better than one compute module is simple: It's twice the horsepower ;) There are ...

I have recently played around with 3D live video on the Pi (by running two Pi's with two cams as transmitters and modified hello_video.bin instances on the receivers, one rendering the left image, the other rendering the right image as a quick hack), but got really sick after 2 minutes. This doesn't...

Thanks for the good explanation, will give it a try. The thing with the rotation around 0,0 probably explains why stuff didn't show up anymore with my failed attempts so far, I rotated it off the screen

rodizio

Just tried again, looks like something has been fixed in the firmware or so. Maybe it's still of interest for someone, the following settings in config.txt are needed: max_framebuffer_width=1080 max_framebuffer_height=1920 display_rotate=3 hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 hdmi_timings=1080 0 118 4 118 19...

I'm using this code based on the OpenVG library to display an on screen display (text and graphical elements) on the Raspberry: https://github.com/SamuelBrucksch/wifibroadcast_osd Now I would like to rotate the whole OSD (i.e. everything) 270 degrees since I'm using a portrait mode 1080x1920 screen ...
