Re: Raspberry Pi GIS Tablet: GIS-Pi
Nice one there BeJay. I like the way your displaying the info along the top. Yes, mine too will run natively, but at the moment, I do Dev. work remotely via VNC, hence xwindows. Are you drawing the graph in pygame, or via something else?

Re: RaspberryPi 2
Ah, you beat me to it. Yes, it has some nice specks. Love the RAM. I wonder what the power requirements will be though. This seems to answer most of the critics pints, ie: RAM and CPU. Now if only it had some A/D on board.

Re: Raspberry Pi GIS Tablet: GIS-Pi
It's been a productive programming session. Now that I had the code functionised, I could get on with some fun things. Previously GIS-Pi would just record xx number (set via a for loop), of fixes. That's fine for testing, but not so handy out in the field. I have had a win with implementing some mou...

Re: Raspberry Pi GIS Tablet: GIS-Pi
It's been a week of staring at spaghetti Python code. Over the week, I have moved the linear code into functions and fixed a number of troublesome bugs along the way. Isn't that's what coding is all about I still have to provide a geo-referenced background image, but then I can (still via code), til...

Re: Raspi TFT
With a bit more Googling, I found this Wiki: m which leads onto this source for a driver: m I don't think this is a beginners kind of LCD screen. You might be better of with something like the HDMIPi screen, or just wait for the official RPi touch screen to be released, but we have been waiting for ...

Re: Raspi TFT
Ah, that is clearer. You will need to load a driver for the touch screen and the LCD screen. I don't see any links to any software. The datasheet mentions this company: www.iteadstudio.com You might want to poke around there to see if you can find some links to some kernel drivers. Otherwise, yes, s...

Re: Raspi TFT
Hi Dylan, I need more info on which product you purchased. You linked to a page with different products on it. Can you post a link to the actual product, as I think I am not looking at the correct one. Are you getting any errors using the product? If so, you will need to post the errors, you can tak...

Re: Weather Station
how long does it take to read the DHT22?
That's one disappointing thing about the DS18B20 - the second so it takes to read it at it's highest resolution.

Re: Weather Station
Ah, I thought you where asking about whether to use i2c vs. RS232 to connect the Arduino to the RPi. Yes, I would stick with i2c to bring the PICXE info back tot he RPi. However, why not bring the DS18B20 data directly back to the RPi? The 1-wire protocol should be able to handle 100m+ (1200' spring...

Re: Weather Station
I am a BIG fan of the DS18B20 temperature sensors (cheap at under $3each from HK), easy to use and wire up, can be read from a PICAXE, Arduino or RPi. I don't track humidity, but I do use the m (which I see has now been superseded). i2c based, so very easy to use. I don't track wind speed or directi...

Speed Camera Check
Hi, I drive from Busselton to Bunbury and back every day. It's not very often a Speed camera is present along the route, but I thought it would be nifty to be notified if there was one present on my drive. If there is one present during the week, the script will email me a copy of the PDF file. Yes,...

Re: Raspberry Pi GIS Tablet: GIS-Pi
Yes, pygame is awesome. Well Python is so powerful and elegant at the same time. The other day I wrote some crappy code calling a shell program to do read/write to a Shapefile. Later I went out side to do something I realised I had never tried searching for a suitable Python module, and sure enough ...

Re: Raspberry Pi GIS Tablet: GIS-Pi
So far I have been pulling GPS data from a fixed Shapefile, ie: not directly form the GPS unit. This has allowed me to compare and make sure the data is what it's meant to look like. I am not plotting waypoints (WP) on the screen (red dots), and WP outside the screen boundaries will be displayed at ...

Re: Raspberry Pi GIS Tablet: GIS-Pi
So where am I up to so far? yesterday I could: * read and write data via Python to Shapefiles * collect and record GPS data to CSV or Shapefiles * auto set the RPi NTP service via the GPS data stream * add GPS coordinates to a RPi camera photo * collect temperature from a DS18B20 * have some test co...

Raspberry Pi GIS Tablet: GIS-Pi
I am interested in Australian terrestrial orchids and carnivorous plants. I like to count and record data about them. At the moment I use a combination of 'Waypoint' (is there a better one than this?), 'GPS Hiker' and the 'LogGPS' iPhone Apps to handle this, but while they are ok, it would be nice t...

Re: Perth Curtin Robofair - 2014
Thanks for the info. I had never heard of Gambas3 before. Nice to know that the BASIC language is still hanging in there I to have played around with mencoder and aviconvert from the command line to convert my Pole-Cam and Rainbow-Pi jpeg images into a video file. Always interesting to see how other...
