  • RE: Clean installation of MM 2.9.0 on an Orange Pi PC sbc, armbian buster

    @sdetweil

    Not exactly, that board has ethernet connection and so, internet connection. The problem is that when I run the command bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlh710ng0zwv3vp/raspberry.sh?dl=0)” it shows me an error similar like this (I don’t remember exactly):

    #!/bin/bash not found (or something similar)

    @sdetweil

    Hi! Finally I’ve get working the MM installation on “La Frite” board using your script. The only issue is that I’ve had to download your raspberry.sh script from the dropbox link and copy on home folder of that board, give execution permissions and execute it. Works fine!! (only basic installation, no modules).

    Thanks again for your work

  • RE: Pi keeps crashing

    Hello, I do not know what your problem is due to, but I recommend that you do not use NOOBS, use better only raspbian. You can download it here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

    I recommend you the raspbian image with desktop (not the one with recommended software)

  • RE: PIR-sensor and 7 inch touch LCD display for Raspberry-Pi

    @Serimner Some time ago, when I was making my mirrors, I’d tried some PIR modules, and I could not make it work any of them. So, I’d write this python script and works perfect. Hope it helps:

    #!/usr/bin/python3
    
    # PACKAGES NEEDED TO WORK:  sudo apt install python3 python3-rpi.gpio
    
    # My screen has an USB port, that turns on when screen is on, and off when screen is off.
    # So, I made a voltage divider with a few resistors to get 3 volts, to activate pin 6 (BCM) 
    # on the raspberry Pi. In this way, the script can 'know' if Screen is ON or OFF.
    
    import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
    import time
    import subprocess
    from subprocess import call
    
    GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
    GPIO.setup(22, GPIO.IN)		                  # PIR's output
    GPIO.setup(6, GPIO.IN)                            # Screen power detector
    GPIO.setup(25, GPIO.OUT)	                  # Relay Input
    GPIO.setwarnings(False)
    
    while (GPIO.input(6) == 0):                       # IF SCREEN IS ON
        if (GPIO.input(22) == 1):                     # PIR DETECTS MOTION
            call(('/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd', ' display_power', '1'))
            GPIO.output(25, GPIO.HIGH)                # RELAY ACTIVATION
            time.sleep(3)
            GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)
            time.sleep(60)                            # THE TIME WE WANT THE SCREEN TO STAY ON
            if (GPIO.input(22) == 1):                 # IF PIR DETECTS A NEW MOVEMENT, 
                time.sleep(60)                        # ACTIVATES THE MIRROR ANOTHER AMOUNT OF SECONDS
            else:
                GPIO.output(25, GPIO.HIGH)           # WITH THIS LINE, THE SCREEN POWERS OFF TO SAVE ENERGY
                time.sleep(3)
                GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)	
        else:
            GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)
    
    while (GPIO.input(6) == 1):                       # IF SCREEN IS OFF
        if (GPIO.input(22) == 1):                     # PIR DETECTS MOTION
            call(('/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd', ' display_power', '1'))
            GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)               # SAME AS ABOVE, BUT THIS TIME DON'T ACTIVATE THE RELAY
            time.sleep(60)
            if (GPIO.input(22) == 1):
                time.sleep(60)
            else:
                GPIO.output(25, GPIO.HIGH)      # WITH THIS LINE, THE SCREEN POWERS OFF TO SAVE ENERGY, AGAIN
                time.sleep(3)
                GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)
        else:
            GPIO.output(25, GPIO.LOW)
    
    call(('/usr/bin/python3', '/home/pi/SCRIPTS/pir.py'))

    @sdetweil I’m not at home now, but yes, it’s ARM. Take a look at the specifications:

    @sdetweil I have another sbc called “La Frite” (http://wiki.loverpi.com/sbc:libre-computer-aml-s805x-ac), I could try your script on it too. When I’ve find some free time. I’ll tell you when I can

    @sdetweil yes, On installation scirpt last step, I’ve disabled screensaver. It’s a good idea to include that option.
