Exclamation swollen battery need assistance
Posted by: mbround18 - 08-15-2016, 10:00 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Hello,

I bought a battery when the backer kit came around and when i received the battery I was sightly puffy than 48 hours after i received the battery it became very swollen. Does anyone know what I can do? I have emailed support but my guess is they are busy as I have not gotten any response.

  Relay integration
Posted by: vigor - 08-15-2016, 06:08 PM - Forum: Accessories - Replies (25)

Any leads how to integrate Pine64 with a relay switch, to turn things on and off from a script ? Linux version is fine, no Android required. 
I would need both wiring diagrams and software, any leads appreciated.
Looking to automate a thing in garage.


Question RetroPie on Pine64 debian
Posted by: hunsoul - 08-15-2016, 01:29 PM - Forum: Debian - Replies (4)

Hi All!

as the RasPi 2 can run several emulated retro games with RetroPie I wanted to run it on my fresh and much faster Pine64.

I have to admit that the beggining was not to easy. After installing several missing packages finally I was able to build it properly on Pine64 / debian. 

The problem is that the EmulationStation runs on my Pine64 extremely slowly. When I push a arrow on my keyboard it takes about 3 seconds to I get feedback on my display / and that is only a selection change in the menu. Sad(
On RasPi 2 it is very fluent. 

The problem is / maybe - as I'm not an expert of this topic / that there is no Pine64 platform possibility for RetroPie - for that reason I had to set the __platform environmental variable to "generic-x11". It compiles but it runs extremely slowly as I wrote.
I don't have any other idea.

Is there anybody who has an idea how to solve it?


Exclamation Pine64+ not starting (never)
Posted by: Alex89cgn - 08-15-2016, 09:04 AM - Forum: POT modules - Replies (1)

Hello there,

i sent some mails to the support in may, june and august but never got an answer so i try to get help by this place. I bought two Pine64 2 GB + Enclosure, Display and Display Case and a WLAN Module.

The first Pine with wlan module and enclosure arrived and is working fine (doing some desktop stuff with that tiny monster Smile )

The second Pine also arrived at the same time, i just put the already working SD and power supply to the Pine and tried to boot it up but it just showing the red light and is doing nothing. I tried multiple times, with perepherie and without. With SD and without, different power supplys but it just wont start, whatever i tried. I think its already shipped defect or got broken by the delivery to germany.

Do you guys have any idea what i could do about it?
Huh
Best Regards
Alex

Photo Weatherproof case build
Posted by: ltorsini - 08-14-2016, 09:19 PM - Forum: Enclosures - Replies (11)

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]


A rounded nose end mill to cut the outline of the screen into the housing

[Image: 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]

Carefully realign the cover face up and finish removing material from the face

[Image: b0003506-ba10-477e-9865-6688c5da51d8]


Only the active portion of the screen should be visible when you've finished trimming

[Image: 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]


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]


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]


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]


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]

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]


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]


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]


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]


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

  New Ubuntu ML-Anderal 4-20-16 Issues
Posted by: AUDIOTEK - 08-14-2016, 04:14 PM - Forum: Ubuntu - Replies (2)

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?


  HDMI CEC
Posted by: ayufan - 08-14-2016, 04:00 PM - Forum: HDMI Port - Replies (15)

I did find out this thread: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic...er-for-h3/

It implements HDMI CEC driver for Allwinner H3 which appears to be very similar to Allwinner A64.
I tried to compile that and I even started receiving some messages from my TV.
I was unable to send anything, but maybe someone is willing to try this two branches and fix it themselves:

https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/build-pine64-image
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-pine64

You have to compile Linux kernel, compile .dts and patch libcec with this patch: http://sunxi.das-eckchen.de/sunxi_libcec.patch.

When you `modprobe hdmi_cec` you should start seeing something on `dmesg` and when execute `cec-client`.


  RPi.GPIO with C
Posted by: Wolfenstein - 08-14-2016, 02:26 PM - Forum: Pi2, Euler and Exp GPIO Ports - Replies (4)

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;
}
makefile
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
test.h
Code:
int testfunktion(void)
{
   return 44;
}


And I get this compile error:
Code:
$ make
