What about multiple displays?

have not tried that( 2 monitors) and the software might not be setup to do that..

it has ONE hdmi portend I have not tried to use an USB port to display anything..

if size is not that important you could use an android tablet for $30 and use it as an indigo frontend.

piBeacon can drive
- any HDMI display, any size
- smaller i2c /SPI (1... 5 inches) OLED and alike devices
(almost) any device type I could find, I tested.

piBeacon can show text, lines, images blinking, ovals, boxes, analog clock, digital clock, shifting left right up down of screens... .. ,... driven by indigo actions

Need some help. I unzipped the 12--09-2018 file and the resulting file was "pibeacon-2018-12-09.img.zip.cpgz". I put it in a subfolder of the desktop called "pi os". When I try to expand it onto the ssd here's what happens. I tried several different variations:

Code: Select all

KBF-Mac-Mini:~ KBF$ sudo dd bs=1m if=/Users/KBF/Desktop/pi_os of=/dev/rdisk2
dd: /Users/KBF/Desktop/pi_os: Is a directory
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.000050 secs (0 bytes/sec)
KBF-Mac-Mini:~ KBF$ sudo dd bs=1m if=/Mac_Mini_HD/Users/KBF/Desktop/pi_os of=/dev/rdisk2
dd: /Mac_Mini_HD/Users/KBF/Desktop/pi_os: No such file or directory
KBF-Mac-Mini:~ KBF$

What am I doing wrong?

How do you unzip? Just click on the zip file in filer. That should do it.

That’s what I did. And the unzipped file was the .cpgz file which I put in the “pi os” folder on the desktop.

When I unzip = click on it in filer i get
pibeacon-2018-11-09.img dec 9 2018 8.83 GB (the dates are bit screwed up -- 12 instead of 11, my fault when posting the file )

but unzipping pibeacon-2018-12-09.img.zip gives pibeacon-2018-11-09.img = 8GB.

don't know what you are doing wrong.

are you sure you completely downloaded the file?

also try the pibeacon-2018-04-12.img.zip file.

how big is the downloaded file?

I had a little eye operation yesterday so I'm just now getting back to this. I am downloading the 2108-4-12 file now. It is a 2.11gb file. I right clicked on it, and the "open with" option was Archiver. It created the same type of cpgz file, which was useless. So I went to the Mac store and downloaded "Decompressor" and when I used that, I got the img file of about 7.75gb.

So far so good.

Before I go any further, is there a difference between simply copying that file to the ssd and using the terminal commands?

Never mind. I realize creating a disk image is different from copying....

not right click open with ... just double click on zip file
OSX has everything you need

What I’m telling you is that was not the case. I did that three times and each time I got that other file. Only when I did what I said did I get an img file.

Which OS X version do you use?

I used std filer compress,.. uncompress should work just fine

I am at a loss.

Sorry for the trouble

Karl.

First of all, certainly no need to apologize. I am very appreciative of the work you are doing and your responsiveness.

I'm running 10.10.5. What I was saying was for some reason either double clicking or right click/open did not properly uncompress the file. Only when I downloaded a separate decompress app did it work properly. But that did work, and resulted in transferring the files, at the end of which process a my micro sd card was renamed "boot" in finder. I'm about to put it into the pi and see if we are good from there.

I got the pi running and did the plugin config per your instructions. THe pi did not seem to reboot, and the device shows as disabled in the device list.

Ideas>?

Also this repeats in the log:
