  more Pinecils ?
Posted by: DrYak - 12-01-2020, 09:00 AM - Forum: General - Replies (4)

With regards to launching the Pinecil, in the blog Lucasz wrote:

Quote:As soon as the Pinecil starts rolling out of the factory we’ll make sure to let you know when it is available for purchase. I’ll make sure to post a blog post, tweet / toot it and share it on our Telegram News Channel. If you’re interested in picking up a Pinecil, then make sure to follow us on your platform of choice to be notified when sales go live.

I checked the blog (and this forum) on a regular basis, but never saw a post popping up. And due to the new weird "sort by popularity/relevence" stupidity on Twitter, I completely missed the tweet. Of course, by now, it is [Out of Stock]

Any chance of a new batch of Pinecils no too far away in the future? Thanks!

  How are folks using the Pinephone (sim swapping?)
Posted by: bartleby - 11-30-2020, 08:57 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (18)

I was just wondering how people who are experimenting with the Pinephone, while also needing a more functional device for day-to-day use, are going about it.  Are you swapping the sim in to the Pinephone when you want to try things, and then putting the sim back into your Android (or other) phone after that?  I definitely want to adopt the Pinephone, but I think I'm going to need to retain a more conventional device for day-to-day use, given the (understandable) lack of maturity in the operating systems available for the Pinephone.  Since my current phone is in need of a refresh, I'm trying to decide which way to go in terms of purchasing a new Android phone together with a Pinephone for experimentation.  Any replies greatly appreciated.


  Existing CAD model for PineCube?
Posted by: symbol_reform - 11-30-2020, 06:04 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineCube - Replies (13)

I'd love to print a case for the PineCube so I don't break anything while I'm moving it around. Does a CAD model exist already in any capacity?


  What I2C driver solution to use? Thermal imaging
Posted by: jnpine - 11-30-2020, 04:18 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (3)

Hi All, 

The main question is if you can provide direction on selecting a generic driver that can be later used with applications. 

I am working on a project to add an AMG8833 thermal sensor to the PinePhone, the flex board to expose the pogo pins works, the PCB that holds the AMG8833 is also working fine and it is already being detected. Now on the software side I am not that good so I hope I can get your help on this. 

[Image: IMG-0224.jpg]

Code:
[root@manjaro-arm Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts]# i2cdetect -y 3
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f
00:          -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
10: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
20: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
30: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
40: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

60: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 68 -- -- -- -- -- -- --
70: -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --                

Address has been set with a pulldown resistor on the sensor so it is 0x68.

I can read from the sensor and get temperature values: 
Code:
[root@manjaro-arm Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts]# i2cget 3 0x68 0x80
WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!
I will read from device file /dev/i2c-3, chip address 0x68, data address

I have tried with Adafruit circuit python with no success to use its examples as I get stuck in needing to install libgpiod which needs a higher version of linux headers than the ones I have installed and are available in Manjaro Beta 2. 
Code:
configure: error: "libgpiod needs linux headers version >= v5.10.0"
Code:
[root@manjaro-arm Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts]# uname -r
5.9.1-9-MANJARO-ARM
[root@manjaro-arm Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts]# pacman -S linux-pinephone-headers
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) linux-pinephone-headers-5.9.9-1

Total Installed Size:  44.91 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       0.00 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
Maybe I need to try a different PinePhone distribution? Any recommendations?  

I would like to hear from other users experiences and what they use for I2C drivers.  Do you use a generic driver or write your own from scratch? 

The end purpose is to create a portable infrared camera on your pocket.  

Cheers!.


  Arm based Windows VM on PBP?

Someone's got Windows Arm image to run on the Mac M1:

Do people think this might mean we could see a Windows VM on the Pinebook Pro?


  How to boot from SD card on pinebook pro
Posted by: linux123 - 11-30-2020, 01:00 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (3)

Hello.
Recently, i've tried to install manjaro XFCE on to my pinebook pro.
I burned the image to an SD card, and inserted it into my pinebook pro.
When I boot, I get the orange power light, followed by the green, but no video output.
This is really stumping me.
Thanks


  Can the PineTab work without the battery?
Posted by: Luattoli - 11-30-2020, 12:24 PM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - Replies (3)

I plan to use the tablet connected to the AC and powered on 24/7. Usually that's bad for the battery. Does this device work if i unplug the battery and only power it from AC? (Usually tablets don't power on without a battery connected)
