[Version 2 Release] RaspberryPints - Digital Taplist Solution

Been getting lots of help the last couple of days via PM... thought I'd return the favor.

Uploading Wheezy, the good alamode sketch, and anything else folks think would be helpful...

thanks EMPyre,you beat me to it...did you also include the SDformatter application?or the win32diskimager application?

actually upon looking, unless I'm doing something wrong, I only see one item in the link:

alamode-setup.tar.gz

is that correct?

EMPyre · Mar 25, 2016

I haven't, but I'll push those over tonight. I have less concern about those going in the memory hole...

ok, np...I also only saw the one file, perhaps the wheezy image is still loading?

DNuggs · Mar 25, 2016

I downloaded the wheezy file from the Rutgers site day_tripper posted (the first link) and after moving the disk image over to my SD card last night, it seems to be working great. Had to stop at step 4 last night as it was past midnight but planning on picking up where I left off tonight.

DNuggs · Mar 25, 2016

So new problem....I'm trying to install the LAMP package in step 4 but I keep coming up with error messages. I'm pretty sure it's trying to get them from the Wheezy directory on raspberrypi.org but since they've discontinued wheezy on that site, the packages are unavailable. Thoughts?

Odd. I used the same command with jessie and had no issue. Will do another reinstall soon and let you know how it goes

day_trippr · Mar 26, 2016

Be sure to do an apt-get update before trying to install or update packages.
I think it's unlikely that support for Wheezy got totally dumped...

Cheers!

DNuggs · Mar 26, 2016

Ran an update and an upgrade and still got the same error message saying "no address associated with hostname"

day_trippr · Mar 26, 2016

Check /etc/apt/sources.list
It should look something like this:

Code:

deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free rpi

fwiw, I see both the Jessie and Wheezy repositories when I start here and drill down...

http://archive.raspbian.org/

Cheers!

abeasst · Mar 28, 2016

FYI I would also check the static network settings you put into the pi.

DNuggs · Mar 28, 2016

Looks like I'm back in business....forgot to make the Pi's IP address static. Seems to be working again...

DNuggs · Mar 28, 2016

On to the next problem....and I kept having an issue with this before when I was trying to do the setup using Jessie. On step 6, I try to run the Alamode setup (sudo ./setup) and I keep getting an error message that says "no such file Or directory." I'm in the Alamode-setup directory and I can see the file listed but I can't access it...

tantro · Mar 28, 2016

I'm getting the same thing when I run ./setup . no such file or directory. using wheezy images from http://distrowatch.com/index.php?distribution=raspbian

DrunkleJon · Mar 28, 2016

Unfortunately the Wyolum guy broke the installer for alamode-setup. You can get a copy of the old working version here for however long I keep it available.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Ik_Urf2DpKX01mdHhscC1pOEU/view?usp=sharing

setup does not work with Jessie though. To get Jessie working I copied setup into the same folder, renamed the copy to jessie-setup and changed the contents to the following as per wyolum (and what he tried to do with his recentish update that seems to have broken the whole installer altogether)

Code:

#!/bin/bash

cp avrdude /usr/bin/avrdude
cp avrdude /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools
cp avrdude.conf  /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools
cp boards.txt  /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino
sed -i'bk' -e's/console=ttyAMA0,115200.//' -e's/kgdboc=tty.*00.//'  /boot/cmdline.txt
systemctl stop [email protected]
systemctl disable [email protected]
cp 80-alamode.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
chown root /usr/bin/avrdude /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude
chgrp root /usr/bin/avrdude /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude
chmod a+s /usr/bin/avrdude /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude

Then instead of running ./setup run ./jessie-setup

Thanks for the link Drunkle but I got the same message when trying to install it and I'm running Wheezy. Should I assume I need to run through the other steps even though I'm not running Jessie?

DrunkleJon · Mar 28, 2016

No. But I did find that the problem seemed to be with the version of arduino-setup that is currently available for download. I was helping someone else with this problem (hence why I have the file in my google drive) and using this older version seems to have fixed it for him. Go ahead and try the copy from my link. It should run for you. I got the same error when I was trying to install it whith Jessie and think the problem is some other supporting file got hosed.

DNuggs · Mar 28, 2016

Like I said, I tried using the setup file from the link you supplied and it's giving me the same messages. I may try to scrap the file, download it again and see if that works. If not, I'll try changing the code in the set-up file to match what you posted above and see if that does the trick

EDIT: it was still reading the old files....moved them to the trash and it seems to be working this time

DrunkleJon · Mar 28, 2016

My apologies, I misread. Weird. The updated code is explicitly for Jessie installs. This is because they changed the way that startup works between the versions as he explains here

tantro · Mar 29, 2016

Thanks for the link, that older alamode-setup file did the trick.

Every time I try to go to the website, raspberrypints.com, it says account suspended...any reason for this?

Ah ok, so it really is down. Thought it might have been just me. Is there another place where all the information is hosted?

wbarber69 · Apr 3, 2016

Move the site to godaddy or one.com

DNuggs · Apr 3, 2016

Dammit! I've just started step 9 where you setup up the arduino sketch and now the site is down. I checked out the bernerbits link above but it doesn't have the directions from the raspberrypints site. Anyone know of another site that lists the directions step-by-step?

gromitdj · Apr 3, 2016

Below are links to PDF's of the instructions that I created a little while back. If they'll help, feel free to download them. Since they are on my personal dropbox, I can't guarantee they'll be there forever.

Edited to Add: I hope sharing these is acceptable. If not, I will gladly remove.

DNuggs · Apr 3, 2016

Thanks gromit! Just what I needed!

GeorgeSD · Apr 3, 2016

I'm about to plunge into the Raspberry Pints build and now the website is suspended. But it seems like everyone on this thread has provided great info so I am going for it. Thanks gromit for the instructions!

So for the noob that I am, what hardware are people getting nowadays? RB 2 or 3? A different arduino controller than the AlaMode? Would this amazon package work for the RB and arduino controller?

Much appreciated!
