That link to the image does work but it still don't see the SSD.

I got another SSD a cheep small one and it still don't see it.

Can any one give me a link to a SSD they know works with it?

-Raymond Day
It has built in 8GB that boots from it does see the SD card and will boot from that. I got a USB SSD reader and put a image on it but it just boots from the built in 8GB then and when it boots from there a fdisk -l still don't see the SSD. I guess it's like the SD cards they say tested with it that ...

I got max2play on this working good with a audio hat. I have max2play all so on a raspberry pi and the player will mix them up switching there names and stop playing.

Still don't know how to get the 2 buttons to work on it. Be nice to press them for other display info.

When I did a stress test and got this photo of the 4x20 LCD display.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/8mTar4TquvCTtVcS9

Just so people know what it looks like.

But I guess if would get the 2 buttons working could change the display to something else.

-Raymond Day
On that code change the timeline to this so can have AM and PM and not 24 hour time. Just had to add the %p' at the end. I edit the whole lcd4linux.conf in here so it does the AM PM now. So this file goes in /etc/lcd4linux.conf. expression strftime('%a %I:%M:%S %p',time()) I like it better like that...
A 4 line LCD works with this. I got it working now. This my help soma else the code at /etc/lcd4linux.conf file mine looks like this: Variables { tick 500 tack 100 } Display LCD2USB { Driver 'LCD2USB' #Model: LCD2USB Size '20x4' #LCD dimension: 2004 Backlight 0 Icons 1 } Widget IPaddress { class 'Te...
On this web page it says a one line about the buttons but does not show how that I can see. The one line says this:

Also two detectable input buttons, generally called key-a and key-b on board.


I think it be neat to press one of the buttons to change the display to something else.

-Raymond Day
Hi I got the LCD2USB and it's working good showing the IP and time. But on the wiki it says "It has two function keys which can be configured by users." but it don't say how. Any one know how to make it use the 2 keys on it. I guess to show some other display and then maybe safely shut it ...
Looking at the 8x1.5V Battery Holder and not much info. It must do 12 volts out when plug in in the UNO Dock V2.0 but can you still plug in power so this will be like a battery backup?

-Raymond Day
If it's on a SD card put that card in another system that can read it and if that system has the same OS and password can copy the /root/.ssh to it and your password will be the same then. Or /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow Copy that from a new load with a password set and it should be the same password ...
On the NanoHat OLED it shows the time as 24 hour is there a way to set it to 12 hour time? If so how?

Thank you.

I got the Dock NEO-v2.0 with audio and the OLED display. It's working real good now. Has no one made a case for this? It been nice to have one.

I think I need to upgrade the kernel. Got the NanoPi NEO-LTS 512M one with the UNO Dock V2.0 for NanoPi NEO and NanoHat OLED for NanoPi NEO/NEO2/NEO Plus2 and a NanoHat PCM5102A for audio. I got two SSD's on it but 1TB and want them to look like a 2TB. I did this command: root@NEO-doc2:~# lvdisplay ...
If you just want to see how much RF interference. Just put a old AM radio next to it. Can hear a lot of interference then.

You can make a radio wave by just touching 2 wires together. AM is adjusting the power of the spark FM is how fast you do the spark in megahertz.

It says a 12 volt input to convert to 5 volts at 2 amp. Can you put in a lower volt like 5 volt and 7 amps or something like lower volt and it would still convert it to 5 volt 2 amp?

-Raymond Day
You can see the CPU with this one command: cpu_freq It does show the temperature of the CPU too in that commend. root@NanoPi-NEO:~# cpu_freq Aavailable frequency(KHz): 480000 624000 816000 1008000 Current frequency(KHz): CPU0 online=1 temp=45790C governor=ondemand freq=480000KHz CPU1 online=1 temp=4...
When you log in it auto gets at least the CPU temperature. Here is how mine looks.

I had to start over again DD copied it but before I booted it edit out the mount of the 8GB SD card in /etc/fstab Edit it's host name too in /ect/hostname But it still don't get WiFi.

Been working on a new NanoPi NEO air for 2 days.

I used "nanopi-neo-air_eflasher_friendlycore-xenial_4.14_armhf_20181120.img" does this one support the PCM5102A? did you enable I2S0 and the PCM5102A with npi-config like written in the Wiki about the PCM5102A?: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index.php/NanoHat_PCM5102A#Under_H3.2FH5_.26...

Looking closet to the NanoPi M3 on the board it does say "FAN" the 2 pins right behind the audio plug. I looked at the Schematic.pdf can't find the name fan any place in it. Maybe could see how it's wired up and control the speed then. Any one found how to do this? That fan nose is just wa...
So this was the 1st time I got sound out of it. Max2play worked right away when I started to play a song I did not know if it would or not. To bed the fan is so loud on this. I hope there will be a patch to have it slow down when it don't need to cool off. It has a nice audio chip in it. No need to ...
Wow no one can say how to "control" the fan. Plugging it in behind were the audio plug is make it super loud and it don't slow down any.

Is there any other place can plug it in so hardware or software can control the speed of it as it need it?

-Raymond Day
Looks like the HDMI is working good now. Not sure what was wrong. I can even move it around and still get video.

-Raymond Day
Put a new image on the 32 GB ST card I have and I booted up it still wasn't getting any video through the HDMI. But then I moved it a little bit and it started getting video I said yes it works. Then I plug in the Ethernet cable that is next to the HDMI cable and the video went off and I can't get i...

Hi got mine yesterday with a little LCD screen too. I put 2 images on a 32GB SD card. s5p6818-ubuntu-core-qte-sd4g-20170302.img and, s5p6818-debian-sd4g-20170302.img and, s5p6818-android-sd4g-20170307.img In that order. All so got it with the heat sink and fan. Put that on. The Android worked good b...
Just found out why. It was the cable! The Female 3.5mm to 2 Male RCA that came with this NanoHat PCM5102A. I moved the Female 3.5mm plug around and got it to sound right but just touching it can make it sound bad again.

Wow neat found out what was wrong.

It sounds good now.

-Raymond Day
Wow I just switch the PCM5102A board with my NanoPI NEO to the NanoPi Air and it sounds very good on the air and the other one works real good on the NanoPi NEO. I will just leave them switched. Not sure what was wrong. But the sound is very good now that I swap them from the NEO to Air. -Raymond Day
I don't know the reason ether. I guess something is bad on the NanoHat. I have one more NanoHat on a NanoPi Air. It sounds good. I thinking taking a heat gun on this NanoHat board for a little bit. Maybe all the pins did not get solder down on the chip. That's about what it seems like not all the so...
I did what you said and it still sound like junk! I downloaded a free FLAC song it seem to play good but never hard it before.
