Hi, I am actually looking to buy adafruit's lcd below https://www.adafruit.com/products/2298 for quite some time , but it has been out of stock for almost a month already. And now I'm looking for other options. The main reason I wanted to get that was because there is a GPIO breakout on the LCD and ...
Hmm... in that case, i'm not going to be able to connect all the buttons i need. If the TFT has some function that I don't use eg. touchinput pin19, And i use the triborg and connect a button to pin 19, will the button work? or will i have to somehow disable pin 19 for the TFT screen?

Hi , just want to ask, for the link : https://github.com/ian57/rpi-fbcp besides a Pi3Binary folder with a file fbcp inside. There are other files which includes, Main.C and CMakeLists.txt What are they and what do they do? I've copied fbcp into my /usr/bin and when i typed "fbcp" on the terminal its...
But that is already extremely helpful for me yogi! at least i understand that what that github was actually putting a pre-compiled file for me to download.
Yeap I'll try it out. The screen seems to work with the waveshare drivers on plain raspbian. I guess it should work with this. Thanks!

Hi, I have owned a Raspberry pi model B before and I want to upgrade to a Pi 2. I just want to know if I can run it without using a powered usb hub.
My power requirements are just a WiFi Dongle, and a portable 2.5" HDD. Usage, wise, basically I'll be running openelec and playing movies from the HDD.

Yep I already used the library and used it. But the usage is kinda basic. like a button will trigger a display. But I do not know how to create sort of a menu, then up and down will scroll through a list, and select will trigger a command. Then how to get this python script to run on startup , how t...
Hi Forum, I’m a beginner user of Raspberry pi. Familiar with basic python , and basic linux. I’ve created a media server Raspbian and also a different build with OpenElec. I also brought a LCD from adafruit, http://www.adafruit.com/product/1115 I’ve tinkered with the LCD, but don’t really know how t...
Hey Dougie, one last question. Is there a flag that I can input for the urllib2 that sort of adds a longer timeout ? like, eg: give me an error only after you've tried for "x" number of seconds? Update: Installed a fresh NOOBS(I've checked SHA-1 to be sure) , didn't configure anything at all and sti...
For the first script , it only worked when I commented out the last line, but the result was b8:27:eb:f1:15:e7 And the 2nd script's output is IP: 192.168.1.11 GW: 192.168.1.254 Host: raspberrypi Well... if there is no solution, I'll have to re install NOOBS but thanks anyway. Probably I should try o...
Thank you for being so patient DougieLawson , I tried your code and it returned this.

Hi, I don't really know how to classify my problem , but here it goes. Generally it goes like this : When I write python code to access a webpage on the pi , it returns an error : [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname whether is it using libraries like : import urllib2 import smtplib from e...
Hi paddyg, thanks for the help, a very weird thing happened. I did quite a number of tests for the python and the python3 code. Both turned out the same way. Whether on the terminal or in IDLE, it worked but only , sometimes. I'd say out of 10 tries , it'll work once. For Python and Python3, when it...
Hi, I'm trying a simple python code here : import urllib2 response = urllib2.urlopen('http://pythonforbeginners.com/') print response.info() html = response.read() response.close() on my PC it returns this when i run it in idle : Server: nginx/1.4.1 (Ubuntu) Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:00:27 GMT Conte...
Cool I'll try it , but I got fed up and I'm reformatting my pi now. I've really tried my best to mess up my pi adding wayayayay too many programmes inside than it should. Probably a conflict somewhere inside with owncloud, bittorrentsync, noip , samba. But i'll try again and let you guys know. Thank...
