Hi all,
I've started working on a new project with PINE64 for my car. Here is the list of futures that I'm thinking to implement so far:

    1. OBDII logging

• Speed
  
• RPM
  
• Boost
  
• Trable Codes
  
• MPG
  

• Front Camera
  
• Rear Camera
  

• Motion ditaction
  
• Door Trigger
  
• Shock sensor
  
• Sound Trigger
  

• Crack the windows when its hot in the car
  
• Close the windows when its raining
  
• turn on lights when dark and my phone near by (maybe)
  

• Log OBDII data
  
• Create reports
  
• Track spending (Oil changes, parts etc...)
  

• Car (in my case, Porsche 987)
  
• Pine64 (with some sensors, cameras, and 4G card)
  
• OBDII Bluetooth adapter (ELM327)
  
• Python3 (on Pine64)
  
• php7 (on the webserver)
  
• CentOS 7 (Webserver and Pine64)
  

I received my pine 64 about two months ago.  I plugged it all in and nothing.  So I went to the live chat and asked for some assistance and all they kept asking was "what operating system are you running?"  I said "Its not running at all." So in frustration, I sent an email off to tech support at pine and also bought a new class 10 sd card and reloaded the Linux operating system on it.  Nothing on both counts.  The system didn't go and I did not hear from tech support. So I sent another request for help to tech support and also sent an message through kickstarter to the pine 64 folks.  Still nothing.  So how do I get some help getting this started?  I tried different monitors.  Tried running it with and without the Ethernet cord plugged in, still nothing.

Hi,

just received my playbox enclosure and I'm now having my complete playbox kit at home.
The board - works (at least HDMI)
on/off button soldered - works
WiFi/BT Module - works
enclosure - perfect fit

But the LCD Panel doesn't switch on. I've tried and checked the ribbon and connectors about a dozen times. The cable fits and is perfectly aligned, so all pins should be aligned correctly. Sadly: No glitching, no flashing, just plain black display and the touch panel isn't working either.


Could it be DOA 


   


Kind regards

Hello,

The original shipment for my kickstarter pledge was send a couple month ago but it was lost by the local post in june 2016.
The pine64 support reply to my inquiry on august 23 2016 saying a replacement shipment will be send "ASAP". 
Do you have any information or tracking code about this replacement shipment ?

Maybe TL Lim has some information about it ?

  My backer number: 20
  The old tracking code for the original shipment: LM016242605CN
  Reference of the issue opened on the french post side : NR1-1780768119

I hope to get my pine64 boards some day.

Regards.

Hi, I got a pine64 for my birthday and it worked fine for about a month or so but just recently I've found that it keeps restarting four or five seconds into boot. I've tried using a different is but the same problem persists. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

I was having problems getting the 7" touch screen to work and found out it was the image I was using. So I went and downloaded phoenix card and the image from pine 64 "lcd-version-20160419" and after the first few boots, it works great. Everything is running smooth even though strangely enough phoenix card failed to burn the image about 3 times and on the 4th time, it worked. Well now the problem is that if I let the screen turn off on its own or I hit the little power button I have on the board and leave it for a few seconds, I can't get the screen to turn back on unless I reset the whole unit with the reset button. They are both the buttons you can get from pine64 for like 50 cents each. I don't think it is a poor connection since the buttons work fine unless the screen is off and then it seems like the power button is completely unresponsive. Anyone else having this problem? I just got the playbox case and also have the (official pine64) battery installed.

What's the preferred/best way to keep Debian on the Pine64 up-to-date? Interested in both apps as well as the system/OS itself.

So I received my enclosure over the weekend.  This was sure not worth the wait.  It is no better than the temp solution I had cobbled together.  Can anyone explain the large opening on the USB side of the enclosure?  Is there a reason this was left open?  Surely they should have included a panel to cover it?  Also, no access to the SD card once the enclosure is closed?  Seems like a poor design decision as well.

One other issue I am struggling with, the camera add-on.  Where exactly is this supposed to mount?  It appears that it should fit into the frame of the LCD, but doesn't fit, not to mention the problem with the length of the connecting cable.

A simple instruction sheet for all the various parts also doesn't seem like to much to ask.  Even a PDF posted for the various components.  I have tried to remain positive about this project, but I am now at the point of regretting backing this one.

My air mouse will not connect or function unless the board is plugged into ac power. I do have the battery installed, and it works fine when its charging with the power pack, but this way I can never be mobile and use the airmouse. Does anyone else have this issue?

2Gb board, Android LCD build

Is it possible to overlock the GPU on Android? I need more power for ePSXe but not so much. Also, with Android Marshmallow there will be more graphics performances?
