I successfully installed 2017-09-17-stretch (full) headless with wpa_supplicant.conf: country=US ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="MYWIFISSID" psk="MY11CHARPASSKEY" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK } When I try to update, it is using IPv6 $ sudo apt-get update 0...
Edit: A quick Google search shows maybe you should use an app named TextEdit instead of textapp. TextEdit is the editor I used. I discovered my problem: I had copied the text from a web page and pasted it into TextEdit. The quote chars from the web were the Unicode left/right double quote!! My old,...
I use Python on my robot. There are great open source examples of Python available for the GoPiGo robot. BTW, GoPiGO is a well designed robot, with excellent forum for their users, and educators. If I was starting out to build a robot again, I believe the GoPiGo is the best platform and support syst...
Is there a power cell or a power pack I should look for in particular for this issue? To give good suggestions, we need to know a little more about your robot, such as: 1) Which Raspberry Pi board are you powering? 2) Are all the motors/servos powered separately from the Pi board? 3) How much run t...
Did you not read my posts? I just did two headless installs that went fine. "Works for me" really doesn't feel good to those of us that are seeing this issue. You may be onto something about what editor is used to create the wpa_supplicant.conf file. My recent headless stretch flogging seems to sha...
Anyone know if there is a work around mirror? You could (temporarily) change the URL in /etc/apt/sources.list to one of the mirrors: https://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianMirrors http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ is not working for me at the moment, so tried: deb http://raspbian.mirrors.wvsta...
I just finished two days of flogging with "wlan0 not associated" with 2017-09-07-raspbian-stretch on a Pi3 that was playing nice under jessie-lite. I tried the headless method with: wpa_supplicant.conf per the thread head: country=US ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_con...
solid aluminum case Indeed, that worked very nicely till I wanted to add a LIFePO4 UPS to protect my SD card from power failures. Pi3 is mounted vertically (on edge) in free air. A 15mm cube heat sink is stuck on with 3M thermal tape. That is how I was running with the UPS until I came home and fou...
I am wondering if optimal processing on my Pi3 might result from allowing short bursts of temperature caused throttling. I have been running Einstein@Home/BOINC on my Pi3 with load limits tuned to prevent temperature throttling. At these settings, the temperature hovers around 71 degrees C, and will...
For some reason "Screen Sharing" app from my Mac Mini (OS 10.12.6 Sierra) started reporting that that "version running on remote computer is incompatible with Screen Sharing". It seems like a crash had left some droppings in /tmp/.X11-unix/ To fix it, I did the following: ssh pi@ip.of.rpi ps -ef | g...
On my robot, I use the 5v RPi for vRef (and VDD) on the 3008, and only level shift the DOUT (using r1.r2 divider) from the 3008. The I2CS, DIN, CLK from RPi (3.3v) go straight into the 3008 no problem, no level shift needed. When running the 3008 with 5v ref, there is no need to level shift your 0-5...
I've been running BOINC projects on my Pi3 at an average load of 2 and 70-74C, powered at 4.97v at the header for the last 18 days with no problems. I updated the OS last night, and rebooted, which started BOINC processing again. Roughly eight hours later, while showing the same load, temps, and vol...
How should I interpret get_throttled=0x10000 or 0x30000 ? This post seems to imply under-voltage and throttling come together (I added hex views) 0: under-voltage (0xX0001) 1: arm frequency capped (0xX0002 or 0xX0003 with under-voltage) 2: currently throttled (0xX0004 or 0xX0005 with under-voltage) ...
Cool - Especially thank you for the one line opencv and all dependencies install. Somewhere I read about a book with 128 steps to follow to install OpenCV, so I have been putting off my initiation into OpenCV. I am running cam-track.py on Stretch upgraded from Jessie (using OS X remote desktop displ...
I added the LiFePO4wered/Pi3 UPS to my RPi3, along with the 15x15x15mm Adafruit heatsink and moved from a metal Flirc case to an acrylic case for the UPS and Pi3. My "boincstatus.sh script checks the temperature and throttled flags once every 10 seconds. I was seeing get_throttled would return throt...
The GoPiGo robot pan_servo(angle) function puts 0 degrees facing left, 90 degrees straight ahead, and 180 to the right. (gopigo.py for rev 2.) If I understand the ROS Wiki correctly, ROS (and iRobot) put the robot frame X axis straight ahead, Z up), with positive angles turn left (from the x axis/fo...
Somewhere I saw an I2C Real Time Clock that could wake-up the RPi. I'll have to see if I can drive onto a recharging station, then shutdown with a scheduled "wake me up in four hours". If the bot shuts down right away, it might just work. I'll have to figure out if my Pololu SP power switch can be t...
My RPi3 based robot is powered by 6 Ni-MH 5000mAh C-cells. I use a Tenergy 1025 "Smart" charger which auto detects that the nominal battery is 7.2v, charges at 2A using "negative delta-V" to detect when to switch to trickle charging. This all works wonderful IF my robot is shutdown first. If I leave...
The problem space is huge, and OpenCV is *THE* solution. We need to grow the number of people that understand how to apply OpenCV functions to basic vision problems.
There are no vision "components" yet, only tools for folks to build with.
My RPi3 robot is powered by six 5000mAH Ni-MH C-cells, and a Tenergy 1025 Smart Charger. Last weekend, when I plugged my bot in to recharge, the charger blinked "bad battery" condition. Two of the (year old) Tenergy C-cells were at 0 volts, while the other four cells read 1.1 volts. I had some three...
