Raspberry Pi - Connor

[9/24/2019] Yesterday, I completely started over by formatting a 32 Gb Micro USB card and installed Raspbian 3.2 on it. This installs Debian Buster

• Turned on I2C and VNCServer with sudo raspi-config
• Set 192.168.0.8 as static IP in both Ethernet and WiFi.
• Bought a clear case from Amazon with opening for large GPIO ribbon cable.

Successful communicating with Arduino Nano Test Meter using I2C (ioctl library). Writing to Nano Example Previously I tried using wiringPi but it can only read and write one byte at a time.

Also was able to receive floats from X-Plane via UDP. Listening on UDP Example

Although some success with compiling under Geany, having problems with Vector. Maybe std::vector is not compatible with my version of c++.

9/24/2019 - sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Right now, able to run vncserver as the pi user, then connecting to it with VNC Viewer from normal workstation. Had to fiddle to get screen bigger. Connecting using alternate window 192.168.0.8:2

  vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080

Connecting to the top 6 pin pairs of the GPIO bus. Only using these 5 pins

• 5V (Input - plenty of amps)
• 3V (Input - Limited - using mostly for the level adjuster chip, don't short to ground!)
• Ground
• SDA (I2C Data)
• SCL (I2C Clock)

Use i2cdetect -y 1 to list i2c devices listening on the Linux host.
