  Adjust brightness of LCD on Armbian Desktop with 1 click
Posted by: JulianM - 04-02-2017, 09:23 AM - Forum: LCD and Touch Panel - No Replies

Hello together!

I figured out how to adjust the bightness of the LCD with just 1 click on desktop with Armbian.
It's really not a big thing, but maybe some "newbies" may like this Smile

Thanks to pfeerick for his topic about LCD Support on Linux!



Step #1:
Create the script.
(Replace "YourUserName" with your username Tongue)

Code:
nano /home/YourUserName/brightness.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
bright=/sys/class/gpio/gpio362/value

if grep -q "0" $bright; then
  sudo echo 1 > $bright
else
  sudo echo 0 > $bright
fi
Save the file (F3) and close it (CTRL+X).

Code:
chmod +x /home/YourUserName/brightness.sh



Step #2:
Using GPIO to increase/decrase.
Execute these commands as ROOT user!
Code:
nano /home/YourUserName/gpio-brightness.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo 362 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/direction
Save the file (F3) and close it (CTRL+X).

Code:
chmod +x /home/YourUserName/gpio-brightness.sh
Code:
(crontab -l ; echo "@reboot /bin/bash /home/YourUserName/gpio-brightness.sh")| crontab -



Step #3:
Change sudoers settings
Execute these commands as ROOT user!
Code:
visudo

Add the following code to the end of the file:
Code:
YourUserName ALL=NOPASSWD: /home/YourUserName/brightness.sh
Save the file (F3 if nano) and close it (CTRL+X if nano).



Step #4:
Add an icon to the taskbar (XFCE).
• Right click on the taskbar.
• Add a new element.
• Add a new "Launcher".
• Close the window and right click on the new launcher => Properties.
• Click on the right side "Create new object"
• Enter a custom Name for your Icon.
• Enter the command: sudo /home/YourUserName/brightness.sh
• You may set a icon.
• Create.



Step #5:
Now reboot your Pine64 and you're done!


Now you're able to change the brightness of the LCD with just 1 click!
It's nothing big as I already said Shy


Best regards
Julian


Exclamation Incompatible SSD
Posted by: grobbs - 04-01-2017, 06:46 PM - Forum: Accessories - Replies (8)

I've tried a few SSDs (via USB) with the Pine A64+. I hadn't run into any trouble until I tried a Kingston HyperX. It's a little dismaying to find an SSD that doesn't work, as that is an important component to me.

The model is SH103S3. I'm disappointed to find that I can't get it to work, even after trying three different SATA-USB interfaces.

The SH103S3 drive does work in any laptop/PC I try and it works on a different SBC.

Any insight into why this wouldn't work? Do these models have something different in their mode of I/O perhaps?


  Q4OS WiFi Dongle not working
Posted by: cheezmeister - 04-01-2017, 02:33 PM - Forum: Debian - Replies (3)

Hello,

I have a Pine A64+ 2GB (if it matters) running Q4OS on a SanDisk 32gb Class U3 MicroSD card (equivalent to Class 30).

I also have a RTL8188 WiFi dongle which did not work on Ubuntu, worked OK on Raspbian (for BPi) and worked smoothly on Debian.
This seems to work now on Q4OS, but when I connect to my network and specify the password, the WiFi Connected icon shows up, the text says it's "active," and I cannot acess the Internet.

Any help is, well, helpful!   Big Grin

  Turning off RPI GPIO 5v on boot (SOPine)
Posted by: TeknoRapture - 03-31-2017, 02:14 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (1)

I was wondering if there was any way to turn off the 5v+ on the RPI GPIO (or Euler) for the SOPine, because even a really low amp 5v fan connected to the RPI GPIO prevents it from booting.

I bought the kit WITH the power supply and yet it STILL has trouble booting without the HDMI cable plugged in, and now it seems like I have to buy a higher power PSU for it as its going in a cluster, headless.

Right now I have the SoPine's fan plugged in to one of my other Pine64's (NOT SoPine) in the cluster but that is not a good way to do things, and I really don't want to power all my fans separately.  I'm using CanaKit's 2.5 Amp RPI PSUs for those and they are working BEAUTIFULLY!

I'd like to use a PWM fan but those usually run full power with no PWM input so that still is not an option without turning off the +5v on the buses.

I'm considering using one of the PWM outputs for a non-PWM fan but I don't know if it could handle the AMPs and I don't want to add a bunch of extra unnecessary electronics for a stupid little fan.  (yah yah I know it would just be a transistor and a couple resistors, that's not the point, a stupid little low amp fan should NOT need that...)

The power for both GPIOs should be off on default during boot, because the SOPines seem to have such bad boot power problems.

I do intend to eventually buy a gutsy Mauser power supply for all of them, but for just a few Pines that is overkill right now.  

Any suggestions?

  Microphone / Audio In
Posted by: iammackinnon - 03-30-2017, 12:06 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (4)

Has anyone had luck with audio input using the 3.5mm jack?

The audio out works fine, but I'm unable to record any sound.

I've tested using the old android 5 and the newer Android 6.0.1 (32 gb image, lcd/hdmi)



The camera, audio out, lcd / hdmi all work.
