  How to Make a Pine with Android 7.0 Stay on All the Time?
Posted by: Bob123456789 - 04-05-2017, 08:48 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (3)

I have two pine's with Android that I want to make both stay on all of the time.

On the Pine with the system version 5.1.1 there is a way to set the screen saver so it always stays on.
On the Pine with system version 7.0 there no way I can see to set the screen saver so it will always stay on.  The choices range from 15 seconds to 30 minutes.

How can I make the pine with the android version 7.0 stay on all of the time?

  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
