  Red LED blink on boot
Posted by: watou - 06-04-2019, 11:36 AM - Forum: Pine A64 Hardware, Accessories and POT - Replies (3)

I had this board humming along for a good long while, and forgot about it for awhile.  Now whenever I apply power, I get a quick red LED blink once a second, with no other feedback.

The board is stenciled:

A64-DB-2G-Rev B
2016-02-25

I've searched and not found any report of a red LED blinking on boot, only solid red LED.

Can anyone tell me if it's a board failure, corrupted microSD, failed PSU, anything else?

Your experience and help is very much appreciated!

  Pin and libraries compatibility
Posted by: MikeA23 - 06-03-2019, 12:40 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (1)

Hi
I'm using the Pine A64+ (will update shortly to the LTS) for a project at work. 
I need to use several I2C sensors and SPI sensors too. 
Also, found the library for one of the sensors for RPi and I was wondering... the same tutorials/codes/examples/libraries from RPi work on the Pine A64?? 
I'm using Armbian Stretch, since I'm familiar with Debian

Thanks for the help

I ordered a 64GB eMMC for my Rock64.

The eMMC arrived preformatted in exFAT, and contained ransomware.

  Q4OS no sound on bluetooth device
Posted by: giel - 06-01-2019, 06:39 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook - Replies (2)

Hello forum-members,

I'm trying to get my bluetooth sound working on my Q4OS sd-card boot. In the standard KDE Neon image this works, but not on my new love Q4OS it doesn't work....

I am connected:

[Crosley CR8005]# devices
Device 30:21:10:2D:28:22 Crosley CR8005
Device FF:09Big Grin2:62:99:F8 N08CS
[Crosley CR8005]# connect 30:21:10:2D:28:22
Attempting to connect to 30:21:10:2D:28:22
[CHG] Device 30:21:10:2D:28:22 ServicesResolved: yes
Connection successful
[Crosley CR8005]#

But when I play music the sound is coming from the pinebook speakers....

Anyone an idea how to fix this?


  Using GPIO with OS
Posted by: MikeA23 - 05-31-2019, 01:56 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (1)

Hi
Im new to with the system. I bought it two years ago but I was not able to use it before hehe

I want to use the Pine A64(+) to read several sensors, which are compatible with Arduino. I have two questions:

1) If I need to use the touch screen, that apparently only runs with Android 6.0.1, is there a way to also make use of the GPIO??

2) Are there libraries to use different sensors with those pins? or examples? I'm planing to use several sensors that work with analog outputs and I2C and SPI so I was wondering if there are info about that

Thanks!


  HDMI does not work
Posted by: baltasarq - 05-31-2019, 01:49 PM - Forum: Archlinux - Replies (1)

I have an 11" PineBook which identifies itself as:


Code:
$ uname -a

Linux pinebook 3.10.105-bsp-1.2-ayufan-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 3 12:48:42 MYT 2017 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux


The desktop is linux mint.

The problem is, no matter how much I struggle, I'm unable to obtain an image from a project connected to the mini HDMI port. I even installed a package called disper, bit with disper -l it does not recognize any other screen apart from the laptop's monitor itself.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,

  Replace/Upgrade trackpad
Posted by: tophneal - 05-31-2019, 11:09 AM - Forum: Pinebook Hardware and Accessories - Replies (6)

I was just playing around with my new Pinebook this morning, mistakenly trying to use the trackpad like my MBP's. After a while, a previous post of Luke's promoting the option to crack these puppers open and modify, repair, etc as we please. Naturally, that led me to start thinking about using a different trackpad, potentially with multi touch/gestures capability.

Admittedly, I know only so much concerning laptop hardware, so I figured it might be worth asking some of the questions here in addition to searching for them.

Primarily, I'm wondering if trackpads use standardized ribbon cables/connectors, and if not, what type does the Pinebook use? Does the PB trackpad mount differently to others? There are certainly more questions, such as sourcing a similarly sized trackpad to the Pinebook (I initially thought of the MBA trackpad, but the shape looks wider and I'm unsure of mounting for MBA or PB) but I think finding the right replacement would be heavily reliant on the connectors and mounting so that can wait.

If there's anything I haven't observed but you have, let me know! I haven't cracked my PB open yet, as I'm still in the midst of software setup, but this idea seemed interesting and I thought others may have shared a similar thought or take interest in it, too.


  fight stick module?
Posted by: mani - 05-31-2019, 11:08 AM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

Hello everyone, I've been building a custom fight stick for a project at my university and I've used Pine64 to program certain things in it. However Im thinking to make it like one of the popular fight sticks, what are the popular ones? I have  a budget of 1500$ for it, the university funded me for the project, these look fine https://appuals.com/best-fight-sticks/ in my opinion, what do you suggest? also how can I work on Linux with pine64? Thanks!
