So excited to get my pine in the mail today. My first impressions were not great. There were no directions or anything inside the packaging. I went to the kickstarter to look at what orientation the wifi card needed to be placed. I'm at a complete loss on how to attach the temp/humidity sensor though. Can anyone explain how this gets connected? I almost feel like i'm missing a cable they forgot to ship with it.

Hello forum.

Is anyone else hearing a high pitched pulsing sound from their pine? I suspect coil whine, which is annoying, but can't really be much done about. But if that is true, there should be more people experiencing the same thing.

I've been using the longsleep ubuntu build and working on trying to use it as a gateway between two networks among other things. managed to get iptables up and running, got my static routing and DNS caching working. But I went to add sub interfaces to the eth0 port, and have run into a problem of not having the 8021q kernel module. Sadly its been several years since i've recompiled a kernel, and i see all the repos in the wiki and these forums but not sure i know what packages to install to recompile the kernel to add in VLAN support.

Has anyone else done that?

Is there a 'recompile pine64 kernel for dummies' thread that i'm missing?

Thanks for any pointers.

EDIT:
Never mind... I managed to completely miss the post by longsleep.

I bought a LCD display module justnow
I want to know if the debian-mate-jessie-lenny.raposo image support lcd display or not?
Thanks

Well my pine 64 finally arrived.

No case but that can totally wait, got the wifi adapter as well. Overall pretty happy. Board looks pretty slick, bigger than i was expecting. 

Turns out my pc and card reader don't like that phoenix software for burning images to the micro sd cards. And then my card reader would not support my 64gb micro sd card (pain in the ***). But i found a spare 8gb micro sd.

Used another program, win 32 disk image thingey. Got the rooted android 5.1.1 on it. Had kodi downloaded before on a spare flash drive.

Fired it in the thing, plugged in, it booted up. Android ran pretty not bad, its slower than i was expecting, but i have faith in future updates we got some nice hardware acceleration and some tweaking and were totally golden.

So i installed kodi and ran the fusion addon installed, been watching supernatural for hours. Hard to do a reboot at one point, the screen was jerking around like up and down, even out of kodi, i presume i found a little glitch there.

But overall. I have seen so many people complain about the board, so i thought i should say something nice. It took a little while to arrive. So what ive had kickstarters take over a year before. The software is in no way polished. It will come dont worry. Hopefully it brings my plastic case too , but it suits my needs. Its replacing the amazon fire tv stick. Which runs like dog **** with kodi.

So overall, love it. And it can only get better : thanks guys, good job.

Hello, i have used my pine with the tv and it works perfectly. However, i wanted to use with an old screen if a cpu and i bought  a hdmi-vga cable but when i connect all, in the screen it says format video incorrect or something like that, i think the format of the screens is not  1080*1920 or 1280*720 is that a problem?

I have been tracking my package and it now says the destination is a completely different state than mine. Also, no activityon the tracking since May 2. What gives?

Hi All,

I bought the 7" LCD touch screen with my order.  I believe I have connected it correctly, when I power on the pine board the screen does not turn on.

The HDMI port is working and I was able to boot into Ubuntu, so the board itself is working.

Any ideas what it might be?  Maybe the screen is DOA....

   

Hey, what is going on with this order?  It's order
#102332046.  It seems to be stuck in purgatory.  The only update is 'Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS'

Can anyone please -based on this image http://wiki.pine64.org/images/7/7d/Pine6...nector.png - map the exact pins used to power the board as well as those 2 that provide 5V? 

Sorry if I've missed it but I couldn't find more info.
