Anyone near Gravesend, Kent, UK need help ? - frewind - 05-05-2016 Hi All, I've been pine user now for a little while and I've been through all of the all the "aaaaahhhhhh" moments, and I've built up a little bit "and I mean a little bit" of know how on the device. It occurred to me that if people are having issues with the Pine's I may be able to help... The important bit's are.... I have a know working power supplier. I have a few know working SD card with boot images. I have a working display with the right HDMI cables. I have a serial port setup for monitoring the boot from the EXP UART port I have working 1GB Eithernet. and I'll have a power monitor set up tomorrow. With this lot I can test DOA issues people are having... I guess we could also start the Kent User Group.... Let me know if your near me a need a little help....

It's been a few years since I was asked for ID in a pub , my first programming job was machine code programming on a PDP 11..... It was this post and the lake of response to it that made me think if the Pine Tracker idea. I work in London, so maybe London should be the location of the first UK Pine User Group meeting.

Ha! The Pine Tracker idea is great - I understand that you exchanged PMs with Lenny re its implementation on his site? About the group meetup I suggest waiting a little so that all backers receive their boards and some of the first regular orders get out the door. How bout you start a thread about it in social networking? : http://forum.pine64.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=31 My favourite pub in London: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.5104707,-0.123742,3a,75y,140.28h,84.67t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sj2OEmV5A6OQJuDTPNbc8Ng!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 RE: Anyone near Gravesend, Kent, UK need help ? - frewind - 05-13-2016 (05-13-2016, 04:34 AM)Luke Wrote: The Pine Tracker idea is great - I understand that you exchanged PMs with Lenny re its implementation on his site? Yep, I'll follow up this weekend with him, I've got some code working as a prototype, so will discuss any hosting restrictions he has.

Think Lenny has been quite busy with work and finishing off the tutorials for the site. Yea, I think the thread is a good idea - lets see how many people are interested to make the trip/ live nearby. Drop by on IRC if you can - would like to chat. Cheers! |
