You can detect motion thru software as apposed to a connected device . You can then set the threshold and the ideal area of the screen you wish to capture . I believe "motion" is a program you can use for this , possibly more options in software available nowadays . You set the threshold and configu...

why not use xbmc, you can set the share up to point at your nas file server,
really simple to use for beginners and full of eye-candy and loads of examples and huge community support

this guy did something similar using "pygame"
plenty of helpful pointers in his thread

given you already have a setup with temp sensors a simple solution would be to install another temp sensor in the airstream of the fan, and code that polls it for sudden drops (indicating fan is on)

southpaw

pretty sure you can do it with software alone, one application that springs to mind is "motion" which compare`s shots for changes (value parameters can be changed/set by user)

you can use it on 2 pi`s mate, just make sure 2nd pi has its own i-p address, you can then control it via this on local network, for controling it over 3g, you will need to configure a seperate port for pi number2, and forward that port to pi2 in your home router , with standard port 80 already forw...

good job glyn, an improvement might be pan+tilt proximity sensors, could cut the 10 down to 2 that way, nevertheless, nice project

http://volumio.org/ or http://www.squeezeplug.eu/ are 2 of the more popular options, both can be controlled via apps on a smart-phone or tablet, volumio was previously known as raspifi, both can put out some decent audio when paired with a dedicated usb sound output (the onboard audio output on the ...

am pretty new to all this nix stuff myself but believe its a "Cifs" share you need to setup on the Ubuntu machine, I`m sure google will be much more helpful than me now you know what to search for , good luck

southpaw

think your using the wrong command, you can use 1 or high , for turn on,
for turn off use low or 0 (zero),
out and in are for establishing output or input (ie an led or a sensor of some type )
I could be totally wrong as I am no expert but worth a try I suppose

southpaw

could be wrong but I suggest it may be a power issue, if the pi aint booting with the usb dongle attached I would try with a more powerful phone charger

southpaw

I know its not what your looking for but you can get a double ended usb cable for portable hdd`s, it will connect to 2 x usb ports to give it enough juice to run http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-in-External-Portable-WD-hard-Disk-drive-USB-Dual-charger-Power-Y-data-Cable-/400330489726?pt=UK_Computing_Ca...

never came across that issue myself ste and have had a good few goes at setting this up , one thing I did notice is my card was functioning fine even if I tried a different usb selection (think there is a 3-4 options for usb sound card types in the setup script) , as nobody else has suggested anythi...

southpaw

is it possible the pi is not getting enough juice to run the both devices, hence wont boot, try it powered via a usb mains hub, or a higher rate cable (some types that come with tablets put out more juice)
good luck mate

southpaw

thanks for all your help wouterel, I have came to the conclusion the card is faulty, tried it in windoze and same scenario, only front working , will order a 2nd card and have another play, next I just need to figure out how to load media to the internal sdcard media library, can this only be config...

We can't tell from this screenshot as we only see the top part of the file. For all I know there could be another line further down in the file which redefines SLOPTIONS to something entirely different. And even then if you want only front and rear I think you should use surround40:CARD=Set,DEV=0 r...

http://postimg.org/image/hiwc8tg3v/ can anybody advise if this is edited correctly , do I need to do anything with the commented out section, or is there any other text I need to enter, really getting annoyed with this now :roll: http://i.imgur.com/3Riqbzg.jpg MTIA https://www.dropbox.com/s/j98ugry...

Hi Gerrelt, and thanks for the reply, i did find your "how to" whilst googling but the command squeezelite-armv6hf -l gave the following root@60s-radio:~# squeezelite-armv6hf -l -bash: squeezelite-armv6hf: command not found the command aplay -L gives me the output file I posted earlier. I then tried...

hi, hope somebody can assist me, I have and old 60`s radio I have stripped (fear not- it was dead anyhow) and inserted a pi with squeezlite, I am stuck on trying to setup the audio options, I have refitted the radio with 4 small speakers and wanted to use 2 as front and 2 as rear via my cheapo usb s...

nice job elParaguayo, i am very much interested in your work, i have purchased the same 7"display and have api for my local weather from wunderground (thanks for link), hoping to use it in a similar situation to yours, I don't require bus route data but sure I can think of other data I can use inste...

Hi Guys an gurls, I am looking for a lil bit of help if I may, I have an onkyo surround sound amp (unfortunately only does hdmi passthru and no hdmi sound) .
