« on: October 09, 2012, 03:48:40 am »

Hi Guys
I have a Raspberry pi version B connected to a I2c relay board http://www.ereshop.com/shop/i2c-bus-relay-board-high-current-12v-pcf8574-p-739.html and it it controlling  my Roller shutters and my Retic  and I would like to get linuxmce talking to the raspberry pi so linuxmce can control the  the relays and know the status as well like the relays on a gc100 but I am not sure were to start
there is so much that can be done with the raspberry pi
eg I all so   have it monitoring my solar system and battery's  with some INA219 senses boards from http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2012/06/22/new-product-ina219-high-side-dc-current-sensor-breakout-26v-%C2%B13-2a-max/

Hi All
Just setup Web Orbitor 2.0 on my system and I am have a problem every time I touch the screen I go strait to the lighting page
I had the same problem once before when I was using a Shuttle Touch Screen as a MD and it was doing the same thing
and i was told it was a bug and TSCHAK was working on a fix
any clues on how to get this sorted and has the bug been sorted

Thanks

Users / Happauge Wintv-Nova-T-500

« on: June 24, 2008, 02:04:48 am »

Hi all
I am having some problems with my setup up i have a Hauppauge Wintv-Nova-T-500 install and i am using Mythtv all works fine most of the time but probably once a day i get no signal strength and myth can't get a channel lock
Now if i do a quick reload router all is fine again till next time which could be 1 day or two days but it will do it again
I have made some changes to /etc/modprobe/options this is what i have added

options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1    (this option turns the LNA on)
options usbcore autosuspend=-1    (this option stops the card from going into standby)

Any help would be nice as this problem has been driving me mad
