We will restructure this forum within this 1 to 2 weeks time after we had finalized the new forums structure with the moderators. Example of changes discussed are:
- Software and Hardware/Accessories main forums will be merged under a new main forum named "PINE A64(+)".
- All OS related forums will be moved into a new forum called "Software and OS".
- A new main SOPINE forum will be created.
- Some unpopular sub-forums' threads will be moved into their parent forum.

Existing Threads under the old forums will be moved to their new forums accordingly.

I'm using Android 6.1 image with pine64 board. I have UVC webcam and don't have the pine64 camera.

I installed open camera app from play store and the app could use the webcam as the secondary camera.

But other apps like hangout, skype, etc., don't detect this camera. It appears that they look for the primary camera and then report that the camera is missing.

Is there a way to setup the UVC webcam as the primary camera so that the android apps use it?

Hello together!

I tried something to create a WiFi hotspot with officially WiFi/bluetooth module by pine64 via ethernet and this is my solution.
Feel free to discuss about this topic

Note: The WiFi hotspot is using the internet connection via ethernet. I wasn't able to bridge the internet connection from wlan0 to wlan1!
Note 2: I haven't installed NetworkManager on my system. NetworkManager can be responsible for problems with these instructions.



Install hostapd (create a hotspot), dnsmasq (dhcp server) and iptables-persistent (firewall settings)

Hey!

I'm planning to install Octoprint on my pine but not sure about the LCD screen. Based on my quick search, it's possible to install Octoprint on the pine but the LCD touch screen only works with Android. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have spent two days searching online before writing this, so please forgive me if the info is indeed out there somewhere.

         I am fairly new to much of this as well as Linux but am determined and have struggled my way to having installed openhab on pine64 1Gig model with 16g SD card, bt/wifi module, and z-wave module. I have read and followed rabbit trails of links and forum threads and with much treasure hunting finally found the openhabian password and username and was able to log in and execute the "sudo openhabian-config". Clicked on pretty much all the options in the openhabian configuration tool, connected to wifi no problem.

In trying to find out how this 'easy', 'hassle free' connection all works. The link to the 'start here' and 'beginner tutorials' all seem to point to the open hab guides which show a screen of which package to choose, although I would love to get to this off my pine64, I cannot get past the command line to find any sort of UI or GUI, or know how to connect to myopenhab. Like when it says "will become available"...I need how to access, or know if it's become available.

I managed to find my IP address, as the tutorials said "will be a few more minutes until localhost becomes available" I am stuck!

I am obviously missing something, please, please don't point me to the wiki getting started guide, as I have gone through pretty much every link I could find on the topic, and I still can't find out how to make it past:

openhabian@openHABianPine64:~$

I would LOVE to see something I can click on...like this paper UI or something...

A couple hints would be greatly appreciated.

hello,
does anyone know if a fully updated linux distro of an earlier iteration [ubuntu 14.04], but basically any one you care to select, is the same as having the newest distro .iso package of the same iteration.. for instance if i have ubuntu 14.04 that was installed in march 2016 but has been updated at least monthly for the past year, is that the same as if i download latest ubuntu 14.04 .iso from online and install it with option for newest packages checked? i was recently told that getting latest .iso and installing with checkmark to install latest updates will provide a different, i.e. more complete, 14.04 install than what i have which is updated install from 3/2016. i thought my updated install would be same as.

I own a Pine64 in service as my home thermostat, among other things. Point is that my Pine64 stays in my house for the winter, I don't take it out of service for any kind of development purposes.  I don't live in my home much, so for development purposes, I check out a Pine64 SBC from a tech library nearby where my wife lives with me much of the time (long story).

I ran longsleep's script line (below) on the public SBC:

HI, been a long learning road for me but happy finally getting my ks Pinea64 working a bit. Just hooked up the humidity and temp sensor. (Don't know what a POT is as the wiki shows a wifi board but I have a board that connects to my Pine.) Anyways, can someone please recommend any software for Android (v7) that I can get to use the humidity sensors? Don't know what works and don't want to get frustrated...  Thanks!
