Question Shirt size chart
Posted by: carlosviansi - 03-24-2016, 12:12 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (2)

Hey folks, 

Did any of you buy the shirt? I am trying to understand the shirt size measurements since I am in between 2XL and 3XL (depending on the manufacturer), but no one I asked seems to understand (yet I saw the shirts were ordered already by some). 

I'm looking for a shirt in 134cm chest and waist and 80 cm in length. Considering the shirt is worth a pine (lol, the hardware) I wouldn't want to get it wrong so I cant use it. Sad 

Does that mean the $89 tier can't get the limited edition anymore? I haven't lock anything yet because I am unclear on that part Undecided 


p.s. When is tier $89 lock day again? I believe our rewards are expected on May so I thought there was more time :|

  Turning it on....
Posted by: Mbarton84 - 03-23-2016, 11:51 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (4)

So......  How exactly do you turn the thing on? Is it supposed to turn on by itself when you plug it in or am I supposed to solder on a power switch? I can't find any info anywhere on that or any videos of people actually turning one on. Help would be appreciated!!


  Way to boot quickly in to a single java application?
Posted by: MostHated - 03-23-2016, 09:30 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (8)

Hello all, my project (once complete and setup) will only serve one purpose, to quickly boot directly in to a java application. What is the best distro to use and the best way to go about making it boot as quickly as possible and directly in to a java application? The only thing that would eventually be needed once completed is the bluetooth, and touchscreen drivers working, everything else could be disabled.

I see in the Pine64 update today that people have made and released many different distros that will work on the pine, is it possible to have someone make one that is an extremely fast booting "headless" one, in which people could just change the startup script to select the application they want to quickly boot to?


  Z-wave module compatibility?
Posted by: Yomet - 03-23-2016, 06:51 AM - Forum: POT modules - Replies (2)

Hi,

I am wondering if the Z-wave module developed for the PINE will work on a Raspberry PI B+/2/3?

Thx

Hi.
My idea is to connect Pine to Hi-fi and then to be able to stream wirelessly music from in ex tablet/smartphone or just connect to Pine wirelessly. Would it be better to intall RemixOs or some Linux based Os?


  Help needed Install Android using Mac OS X
Posted by: gubaguba - 03-23-2016, 05:10 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (4)

PhoenixCard app is not really an option for me as the several computers I am running are all Mac OSX. I do have a netbook running Mint Linux. Looking for option that will work for the OS I have.  Also any specific Allwinner requirements might be helpful. I am comfortable with CLI and did a recent install of MintLinux with a formatted USB thumb drive from the Mac. Sure it is possible but need to be pointed in the right direction.


  Zwave AU compatible
Posted by: mist42nz - 03-23-2016, 01:31 AM - Forum: POT modules - Replies (1)

Hi whats the status of the Pine64 boards with regards to the ZWave?  (can't complete survey)

Do all boards have this feature?
Is so, in our region we have to have one that operates on legal frequencies; can you let us know when that will be available please.

  How to determine GPIO numbers?
Posted by: joey - 03-22-2016, 09:38 PM - Forum: Pi2, Euler and Exp GPIO Ports - Replies (3)

I've been experimenting with some of the GPIOs on my Pine, and I think I figured out how to talk to them using /sys/class/gpio. Unlike the Pi, which I am coming from, the GPIO numbers are different. I found another resource on the web that said in order to get the GPIO number for a different chip, you need to take the letter from the Pin number, convert it to a number, subtract 1, multiply by 32, then add the listed GPIO number. I thought that was strange, but figured I'd give it a try. For example, I wanted to write to the Pi 2 pin #16, which is GPIO 23. I did the folllowing:

Using the document attached to this post, I determined the pin I want is PC13.

P="Pin", we don't care about this.
C=3rd letter in alphabet, but we're nerds, we count from zero, so C=2 (subtract 1)
13=GPIO 23 We just use the raw number, I can't math.

So we take 2 and multiply it by 32, which seems to be a magic number. I'm sure it has significance to someone, but not a n00b like me. 2*32 = 64. Now we add 64+13 from the pin out document to get a final result of 77.

Then, as root, I changed into /sys/class/gpio and enabled the GPIO:

Code:
cd /sys/class/gpio
echo 77 > export
cd gpio77
echo "out" > direction
echo 1 > value
After doing that, hurrah, my LED lit up. The anode (positive) of the LED is connected to the pin mentioned above, the cathode (negative) is connected to one of the pins labeled GND.

I just wanted to share this with everyone because it took me an hour or so of google searches until I figured this out. It may be documented somewhere else on this site, but so far I couldn't find anything. For reference, I'm doing all my experimentation in longsleep's 3/20 build of Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial."
