Alright, so I'm interested in creating a smart mirror like project (this has been done on the rpi before).
However, I'm not sure how to handle input/controls. Here's a couple suggestions I had.
1. Touchscreen monitor/module
Seemed like a good choice at first, but if put behind a 2 way mirror, I doubt it will work
2. Voice commands
Not sure how easy this would be to implement...
3. Gesture control
Probably even harder than voice commands.
4. Wireless mouse/keyboard
Should work fine, but seems like a janky solution that would compromise the whole idea behind a smart mirror
6. Maybe I could use my android phone as a remote?
Basically at this point I'm looking for any ideas on how to handle user input.
I was thinking of using android or remix since they already have a bunch of apps that can be downloaded.
Has anyone gotten any OS to work with a 128GB microSD card? I attempted to flash the Remix OS to mine and it seemed to work, but got hung up on the Remix OS loading screen when I tried to boot it. When I was downloading the OS from the Pine wiki I noticed that there appear to be builds made for the various sized cards, but they top out at 64GB. I'm a total novice so there may be something I'm missing here, do I have to wait until there's a new build for the OS that's compatible with the 128GB card?
I received the board a little over a week ago (A64+, 1GB). I ordered the board with an 32 GB sd card and had selected to have android installed, but now I want to make a Ubuntu disk but when I try to format the disk, before I get to the Unetbootin step, I get an error. I'm on Ubuntu (cinnamon) and using the disks utility where I receive the following error:
Quote:Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)
I'm not sure what my next step should be. Has anyone come across this error and have a solution or have a solution anyway, I looked at fdisk but after reading the man was still not quite clear on the usage.... (still somewhat of a linux newbie, fan but newbie)
I finally received my package with the new Pine A64 board and the items ordered. The package was open at the top and looks like the WiFi BT card (802.11N Wifi + Bluetooth 4.0) and the push button gift and playkit were not inside my package. I have tried to email and so far nothing.... Can someone from Allwinner Technology help me get these shipped out...
Thank you for any help you can provide 18,795th backer on @BackerKit for PINE A64
Just booted up my Pine64 for the first time - the color is all messed up.
Tried both Android and Linux boots. The monitor and cable work fine with my laptop.
I'm assuming it's a hardware fault. Any ideas? How do I go about getting it replaced?
Ah, so it's because I'm using a DVI to HDMI converter. I'd forgotten it was there since it works fine with my laptop and Raspberry Pi.
I'll have to find something with a true HDMI input to test it on.
The micropython (PYBv1.0 STM32F405RG pictured above) is an excellent peripheral plug-in for your PineA64 board. This little jewel has Python3 running on the bare-metal; has built-in accelerometer, ADC, DAC, i2c, SPI, pwm GPIO and even with all the header pins I've installed on mine, weighs in at a whopping 10g. It is being powered by the usb here, and can be programmed in three ways (onboard, on PineA64, on serial console !).
I have the pyboard powered up here via the 5v rail on the PineA64 ! I plan to use this board as the low lever controller (will have three of them) for my quad drone. But this little board makes an excellent low level controller for the PineA64 too, freeing up the PineA64 for analytics; while the MicroPython micro-controller handles the real-time critical low level stuff...
After almost month after recieving email that my reward had been shipped, I sent this email as I hadn't recieved anything yet.
Now, it has been unanswered for almost a month again. What's up?
This is the email I sent:
----
Hi, you asked backers to submit tracking numbers if they haven’t recieved their items yet.
I recieved my tracking id on 16th of May, but it still doesn’t show any tracking information and I haven’t recieved the shipment. It’s been almost a month already.
My tracking id is: RI902589519CN

My backer# is 23,605
Aftership tracking gives me status "Pending" and after a few page refreshes "Expired"...
