Just found this thread and followed the instructions; it works great, no problems at all, thanks. One question though. I intend to use this for some remote Python coding and cut and pasting code it very handy - essential really. If I copy a line from a web browser on my Main PC, is there any way to ...

Just wanted to say thanks for everyone's help with this so far. This is only a trivial thing, but with your help I am learning more and more about this every day. :) I don't think it is an issue with the path to espeak because I have a very similar line in my /etc/rc.local script which runs fine. As...

OK, "chkconfig" isn't quite correct for debian by the looks of things, but I this led me in what I think is the right direction. Still not working, but here is what I have tried... I created a file called "shutdown_job" and copied it into the /etc/init.d directory. The files contents are: #!/bin/sh ...

Thanks for the pointers.

I am not sure I fully understand yet, but certainly a step closer now.

Try looking at this article, I followed it and it worked for me:

Good luck.

Thanks Arjan, I have read something like this before, but I don't really understand how it helps me. What I want is a shell script that will run at the very beginning of a $shutdown -h now command. I apreciate from the run levels that it has to run early before the speech engine and ALSA drivers etc...

This is a bit of a Linux noob question I guess. I am running an espeak command when my PI starts up, by adding a command into /etc/rc.local I was wondering if there is an equivalent script that runs when the PI is shutting down, so I can add an espeak command to say "goodbye" or something similar? A...

<t>Personally I think that unless you are overclocking, then a fan is probably not required. If powered from the Pi, it would probably just put more stress on the internal fuses and possibly the power supply. I would just make sure that your "case of choice" has some sensible ventilation ...

Reading through that thread on Github, it would seem to suggest that a kernel patch may have fixed the USB issue now. Don't know I get that onto my debian image to test though.

<t>The trouble with the hosts file is that you have to specify a static ip address with which to associate that name. I am using DHCP so the IP address could easily change and the host file would be wrong. I have tried installing winbind, but I think that may need some additional configu...

<t>I am trying to move my Pi over to a headless configuration where I will use PuTTY on a Windows 7 laptop to ssh, or VNC into it. I am currently using the latest Debian distro and I am running it wirelessly using wicd and DHCP. I can access the Pi via it's IP address from PuTT...

<t>It can supply up to 3 Amps and gives a bar chart showing how close you are getting to the 3 Amp limit. It doesn't give a specific current reading, but that would be really nice. I just used this because I needed a solid 5v supply under load and I had this going spare from an old proje...

GizmoB73

<t>Thanks Gert and Techmeology. As I am writing in C I think I will stick with the registers if I can. They are more difficult to understand, but that it kind of the point (for me) I think anyway. I like the idea of the better efficiency too. Gert I have been looking through ...

<t>Thanks for the update, I guess people will have a different view on which they prefer depending on their backgrounds. Personally I think the 0-7 numbering makes sense but I have played with Arduino's a fair bit. The rather haphazard numbering of GPIOs (4 through to 25 with s...

<t>GordonH said: Hm. Your works and mine doesn't. I'm using the latest Debian image, what are you using? I'm wondering if it's pre-programmed in a different mode in this image, or maybe I've just blown it! I've a 5-hour train journey this afternoon – maybe I'll play with it th...

<t>GordonH said: I think we're all sorted now - I was initially thrown by starting at GPIO 7 which doesn't appear to work (at least on my Pi - anyone?) I'm suspecting it has to be re-programmed to be used as genera purpose. If when you are referring to GPIO 7, what you mean is...

Anybody know how to change the annoying typo in the topic title?

Bugger.

<r>Hi Gordon, Not sure where the confusion is, the coloured GPIO diagram in the wiki is correct as far as I can tell? Assuming you have the Pi oriented the correct way around, GPIO header is in the top left corner of the board. Then looking at that header, referred to as P1 on...
