Hi All,
I thought I would post a few shots of the weatherproof case I've been working on over the last week or so - 2gig with all the bells and whistles. From a hardware perspective everything went together very well, I'll be adding a cell card, the photo/temp/humidity sensors and the zwave when it arrives.
Software with Android is slow and buggy, haven't started tuning on it yet so any advice is welcome at this point.
I used a template of the screen to scribe the dimensions of only the backlit portion of the screen into a Dykem outline painted on the cover
![[Image: IMG_2555.JPG]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-yjzhGAYPBqU/V7EjFOxv9AI/AAAAAAADftA/qvlODjdI1WAQ59bgZY8edK66QugI8hNqQCL0B/w626-h835-no/IMG_2555.JPG)
A rounded nose end mill to cut the outline of the screen into the housing
![[Image: IMG_2557.JPG]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-LsXcgO5wgww/V7EjFLcAeAI/AAAAAAADftA/9vVjVH6mrc8v295M2TIPjhtFQxxSk1yvQCL0B/w626-h835-no/IMG_2557.JPG)
The cover face is sturdy enough with the ribbing to allow you to cut almost fully through from the interior
![[Image: IMG_2556.JPG]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-C6P212hpzCA/V7EjFHHZ8dI/AAAAAAADftA/05AJdWUQ8SYPB1Sn1PWjCkykYEyKHJyTACL0B/w626-h835-no/IMG_2556.JPG)
Carefully realign the cover face up and finish removing material from the face
![[Image: b0003506-ba10-477e-9865-6688c5da51d8]](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-lyC55MDinvE/V7EjFLj3V7I/AAAAAAADftA/7X2a4m3izWEgM1jbj0dfE-R8n6yM_cgEACL0B/w1113-h835-no/b0003506-ba10-477e-9865-6688c5da51d8)
Only the active portion of the screen should be visible when you've finished trimming
![[Image: IMG_2561.JPG]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cHDlgoVaV8o/V7EjFICecLI/AAAAAAADftA/LpvQzxk6HYYZCn91ssZZrZCcPSSVmItcgCL0B/w626-h835-no/IMG_2561.JPG)
I used 1/8 x 1/4 3M car window sealing ribbon to mount the screen, be sure to align it well before it makes contact, once it is on it will never come off in one piece and it will never leak
![[Image: IMG_2562.JPG]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gZ9GAQDPpvk/V7EjFFk2TPI/AAAAAAADftA/DCXjt85NdEMXHp18QyMH29d9tpdiodnygCL0B/w626-h835-no/IMG_2562.JPG)
It is a pretty close fit but the screen nestles under the acrylic mounting board without being in direct contact which should keep it from overheating, note the backup battery mounted to the acrylic plate
![[Image: 8cb188f0-8e6d-4581-8d8f-8a051807306d]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WmKlaQuc6K8/V7EjFMsbaaI/AAAAAAADftA/RDz8AhMp_cI1NtRcDmzoKfcIARQDn-3mgCL0B/w626-h835-no/8cb188f0-8e6d-4581-8d8f-8a051807306d)
The ribbon cables for the camera and screen are just long enough to reach when mounted, the metal bracket on the right holds the camera in place over its view hole in the cover
![[Image: 637e9646-3a2c-48e8-b551-1e51a5a28e97]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ziCMrZ2gMQM/V7EjFE2ZsZI/AAAAAAADftA/n9-jFxRRR8QObPm5DvgW4wQy3pLuDgILQCL0B/w626-h835-no/637e9646-3a2c-48e8-b551-1e51a5a28e97)
Removing the cover from the PoE splitter allowed will allow you to machine the case for a tight fit, use black silicone RTV to secure it to the case and screen
![[Image: 07e327b0-198f-4bad-8dcd-9cb15e6aa426]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fcUCCSOoZp4/V7EjFItjmvI/AAAAAAADftA/8sCifgmROysiRXxAc4Q850HcxKsZfl8jACL0B/w626-h835-no/07e327b0-198f-4bad-8dcd-9cb15e6aa426)
I've split out the speaker and mic ports and flush mounted them to the case, you can see the PoE splitter to the very right
![[Image: c0a745b6-778e-4d6b-8d6e-b42c156f8cf7]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-i7GiTVoK0BE/V7EjFOcTOTI/AAAAAAADftA/RvG0l0BOfO8hhDc-Tuy-njCr1XhuUt0AQCL0B/w626-h835-no/c0a745b6-778e-4d6b-8d6e-b42c156f8cf7)
The battery leads are just long enough to glue the battery to the door of the case using a high temperature non expanding adhesive
![[Image: 670ad582-59f1-4e4d-981a-b98f1970f505]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f0VEB9tpkHI/V7EjFBhDvxI/AAAAAAADftA/7TbUzRfMTKQtWW0jDK-2aURAf5ZSV0ZcACL0B/w626-h835-no/670ad582-59f1-4e4d-981a-b98f1970f505)
Depending on how the battery temperature looks as the unit cycles, you can use the material removes for the screen as a heat exchanger to improve cooling and battery life
![[Image: 99bf865b-fa49-4847-8786-3deb9bbe95ab]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-PIZ3wvHF2Bo/V7EjFESChlI/AAAAAAADftA/bKIgSjyDu7g-n5IUGKAONifCA_8PhwynQCL0B/w626-h835-no/99bf865b-fa49-4847-8786-3deb9bbe95ab)
You can see the front mount camera view hole to the left of the screen, be very careful on it's placement to minimize stress on the ribbon
![[Image: IMG_2621.JPG]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-r86L2zEcjEA/V7EjFKlXeEI/AAAAAAADftA/rj981cTzvrs7QJjQ4McL7fNILYAGrxRDgCL0B/w626-h835-no/IMG_2621.JPG)
I also added two sealed microswitches by milling down the existing bolt hole bosses and threading them in from the back, these are the on and reset buttons
![[Image: a0f21a7e-a5af-4332-88b1-8ace2c59bd9a]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-YK7kEqz9-a8/V7EjFE0PgeI/AAAAAAADftA/Kdb_VNrfW-wbrLbpl8KwdA_gK9wAqRYgwCL0B/w626-h835-no/a0f21a7e-a5af-4332-88b1-8ace2c59bd9a)
Final product has handle/wall mount and an improved wireless antenna. The external antenna made a big difference in the performance of the wireless card

Anybody has major issues with New Ubuntu ML-Anderal 4-20-16.img image?
I just installed it and I'm having major issues. It constantly loses connection even if it says it's connected. Firefox keeps crashing. kodi is unusable. Can't send bug reports etc... the list goes on and on. I was just wondering if anybody got that release to work.
Is this the closest to Ubuntu 16.04?

Related to this thread http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=723 I am trying to build and use the functions in C. I copied all files from RPi.GPIO-PineA64/source and I made these files
test.c
Code: #include "c_gpio.h"
#include "test.h"
int main(void)
{
printf("testfunktoin()=%i\n", testfunktion());
setup();
return 0;
}
Code: HEADERS = test.h c_gpio.h
OBJECTS = test.o c_gpio.o
default: test
%.o: %.c $(HEADERS)
gcc -c $< -o $@
test: $(OBJECTS)
gcc $(OBJECTS) -o $@
clean:
-rm -f $(OBJECTS)
-rm -f test
Code: int testfunktion(void)
{
return 44;
}
And I get this compile error:
Code: $ make
gcc test.o c_gpio.o -o test
c_gpio.o: In function `setup':
c_gpio.c:(.text+0x40): undefined reference to `pinea64_found'

First, thanks to Lenny for his answers in thread 1143, regarding changing screen resolution.
I want to make sure I'm seeing everything on the screen that I'm supposed to. My guess is that something is being truncated off the top and/or bottom. I haven't been able to accomplish useful work yet except via the terminal.
Here's what's on the screen when I log in:
the Pine64 logo
Computer
Debian's home
Trash
A couple of these are truncated on the left side by the edge of the screen. Nothing else. No menu bars, no shutdown buttons, nothing. Is this correct?
Similar to another person in thread 1143, my monitor does not have controls to allow adjusting width and height of the image.
Thanks for your help
Bill in SoFla

I am new to the world of one board computer and the Pine64 is my first experience.
I have purchase a 1GB and a 2GB model with one Wifi board.
I have put small heatsinks on both processor
Using the linux dd command, I successfully burned a RemixOs on a 16GB class 10 micro-SD card and I am able to boot busing my HDMI TV
But they are is very slow. Much slower than expected.
I am looking for a suggestion for another distribution that would be faster (more responsive) than RemixOs.
