In general, there are many processes that can update, report, and download data. From your description, it sounds like IT debt... where the employee disappeared.... note, over 90% of security problems are usually current/former staff who are familiar with the systems. If you exposed an OS to the pub...

You probably should look into a proper industrial HMI for you vendor's PLC, and a commercial VPN-appliance/router designed for this kind of application. The Pi is not intended for industrial environments, and will not meet legal or safety certification requirements without design specific lab paperw...

I just need to ensure that the maximum latency is under a hundred microseconds. This may ultimately depend on how tolerant your device is to timing jitter, and whether your 10 variables are concurrently sampled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segal%27s_law One could compile linuxRT to get 5kHz task ...

The RTL-SDR is a DTV receiver that had its driver enhanced to become a general purpose RF receiver. A common ebay $10 USD 820T version can receive 24 MHz up to 1766 MHz with fairly good signal quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSAa2aOXpCc https://www.rtl-sdr.com/about-rtl-sdr/ On a Pi3B+ one ...

dd doesn't care what bytes it is writing. If dd is giving an error message it is not because the file it is writing is corrupted. Checking the file hash will exclude host source disk i/o access/bad-sector issues, and content integrity errors. I have found dd will ignore most issues with a target sd...

Check the pi foundation's hash file-signature in case the download dropped part way. ;) We cover several OS specific issues our hobby group encountered with the initial install (gnome "disk-tools" supports xz format natively): http://www.micrometer.xyz/cdn/node/23 Note, some had to use an external s...

Nikon D7000 supports remote tethering

Depending on the drivers supported features, YMMV

Would you be willing to post your code for your loop? I'd like to see how you solved it, to save effort on my end. FPGA solve a different set of problems, and FIR/CIC are used in DSP given the uniformity of timing latency. I am not familiar with the equipment in the photo, but would recommend looki...

If it is line of sight, than Lora long-range versions should work if you just need a few hundred bytes per second. Ubiquiti Networks Long Range dishes can reach well over 25km, so just contact their sales people to find a locally compliant model. Point to point links are nice as there is no monthly ...

If like most places your 2G/2.5G network is being upgraded to LTE or G5, than your GPRS modem is a paper weight. If the GPS firmware is old, than it will stop functioning as the epoch rolls over in the next few months. if you are unable to kludge something together, than a cellular enabled cisco rou...

Languages like Java and Python almost always rely on wrapped lower level C/C++ libraries. So much so, an automated tool was created to make this easier: http://swig.org/ If you don''t need to watch mixing/loading times, than Playing any media though a libVLC high-level instance is fairly simple: htt...

In general, for industrial applications you will usually use an RTC calendar chip (lke the MCP79412 ) with an embedded mcu that has a real WDT. I have hardened arm boards for long-term headless applications, and would recommend you look into a normal PLC given design certification costs. Best regard...

In general, most MIDI is rendered using a soft-bank of audio samples in a large file. Although configuring VLC to find and use fluidsynth files (example: /usr/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 ) is fairly straight forward, creating a jack interface to emulate generic MIDI hardware is a bit more cpu in...

In general, I would just use an ajax call to send json formatted data to local html based javascript: https://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.10/dojox/charting.html Drop the normal (not mini-fied) javascript source into your sites static /js lib folder. Learn to use the library programmatic method...

Often the most mysterious problems come from simple issues. 1. unplug everything 2. plug in only the pi HDMI cable into a different TV port 3. Turn your TV On, and choose this different HDMI port known to connect to the PI 4. Make sure to try a different HDMI cable (even new, some brands break inter...

But what I have seen so far is remarkable and especially so in light of the fact that this was all done for the sake of proving it possible and not with the aim of amassing wealth. Often, I am in awe of the hundreds of thousands of people that contributed to gnu, Apache group, and Linux kernel effo...

May take me a few iterations to get this right... but thanks for your input. I use midori for youtube and bbc (chromium with adblock for other sites), and have set bleachbit to wipe the web/flash caches on login. This is a disk clone of what I use for building my own projects, and includes a very m...

Re: Midori. I found their web site at midori.org; it is certainly minimalist. Is there anything I need to know before downloading it? Wrong URL, try https://www.midori-browser.org/ and we used the deb source repo: wget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/midori/midori_0.5.11-ds1.orig.tar.bz2 A...

chromium-browser should have pepperflash by default, try Scratch2 as that uses Flash ! Raspbian Stretch did not seem to show this default support with the install process we followed... We already unsuccessfully tried the old method of editing: /etc/chromium-browser/default CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--use-gl...

Reformat as HawaiianPi says, try a newer usb-to-microsd card adapter, and finally scan the card for storage defects. Even a full reformat will not catch looping-write firmware counterfeits, or flash cells with amnesia after the internal card cache expires. We use AltraMayor's f3 (Fight Flash Fraud) ...

We use flash 32.0.0.1 in midori on pi3B+ to watch BBC streaming media.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/microm ... pberry-pi/

Like most modern browsers, chromium probably removed default legacy support for the flash plugin.
I am not sure if it is possible with chromium now.

Cheers,

We do demos with openCPN 4.99 using the rtl-sdr AIS path-plotter plug-in (you would have to download the charts for your area):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/microm ... pberry-pi/

It would be great if a better repo version is available. =)

Cheers,

In general, for safety reasons people tend to separate machine control loops into smaller/simpler micro-controllers, and send messages from a host running more complex software. There are Programmable logic controller (PLC) that are designed for industrial uses, but the Pi is intended for consumer g...

Did you insert a cable while the device was running? On the Pi, I found one can't even get away with hot-plugging USB devices sometimes without causing it to reboot. Note, other plugs are not like USB, and can brick the hardware if hot-plugged. ;-) Disconnect the power, remove the camera cable, and ...

Joel_Mckay

While this works, I am now of the opinion it is *much* easier to use much more advanced controller chips, like the trinamic chips, as this provides more advanced controls and functionality while making the code on the pi side pretty trivial If you are addressing the chips over the serial protocol, ...
