Mounted my USB stick (sitting at the Fritz!Box) to my Raspi

1. Plug the USB stick into the Fritz!Box 7362 SL. It is ready to use then. 2. Create a user in your Fritz!Box with only the permission to use NAS content. 3. Add your NAS content folder to the permissions for your new user. 4. Create a directory on your Raspberry # sudo mkdir /mnt/usb 5. Add an entry to your /etc/fstab # sudo vi /etc/fstab //192.168.178.1/fritz.nas/SanDisk-CruzerBlade-01/FRITZ/mediabox /mnt/usb        cifs    defaults,username=piusb,password=***** 0       0 You'll have to use your plaintext password for your fstab. If you do not want to do this then use a credential file like credentials=/etc/samba/share.cred. 6. Reload your /etc/fstab # mount -a

Raspberry Reanimation

I haven't had much time for my little friend lately, but I new he (she?) was there because I saw her LEDs blinking on the wardrobe. When I got a new router I unglugged him and after a few days I wanted to power her up again, but the only thing he showed was the red power LED. Hugh? What's wrong? After a few attempts the behaviour did not change. I googled but did not find anything useful. So I decided to start all over again. Here we go and start with building the SD card from scratch: Latest Wheezy (2014-06-22): http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2014-06-22/2014-06-20-wheezy-raspbian.zip Latest (1.66) USB Tool by Alex: http://www.alexpage.de/download/usbit/usbit.zip I do not know why, but my Windows did not show FAT32 format option and my SD card was still holding the Linux partition. I used compmgmt.msc to remove the data, then diskpart to delete the partition and then again compmgmt.msc to format FAT32. # compmgmt.msc #  diskpart

Switching off the LEDs of my little webcam guy (with 6 really bright LEDs)

I spent hours (really) googling on how to switch off the damn LEDs at my camera. I tried guvcview and mjpg-streamer and just before I started to get familiar with Python I found a really helpful entry in a forum which advised to use a control at the camera itself (aka the hardware). And guess what ... the little wheel which I thought was for the volume control was for ... THE LEDs!!! Argh!!!!! ... picture following ...

Webcam monitors the entrance ...

Yesterday I picked up my camera ( http://www.ebay.de/itm/390641740206 ) from the post office. I powered off my Raspberry, plugged in the little webcam guy and powered up again. Then I checked my camera: pi@raspberrypi:~$ dmesg | grep -i vid [    0.028498] mailbox: Broadcom VideoCore Mailbox driver [    1.329416] vc-cma: Videocore CMA driver [    6.182242] Linux video capture interface: v2.00 [    6.628217] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB2.0 Camera (1e4e:0110) [    7.120691] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo [    7.128191] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)   pi@raspberrypi:~$ dmesg | grep input [    6.890757] input: USB2.0 Camera as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/input/input0   Everything seems fine.

HDMI for the Raspberry ... like former times on my C64

7 € later (+ 2 € for parking) I plug my brand new HDMI cable into my Raspi and power up. Some seconds later I have the menu to increase my disk space. Done. Reboot. Ready. Uh ... and now? I started the Desktop just to check and it felt a bit like in former times with my C64 when I sat in front of the TV with my C64-Computer-Inside-Keyboard. :-) Ok, enabled sshd. Assigned fix IP in the router. Powered off. Unplugged. Put Raspi next to the router onto the wardrobe. Plugged the networkcable in again. Powered up. Connected with kitty . Now ... what exactly? Mhm, let me think. First bring back my HDMI cable? ;-)

Raspberry came home to Mama

Yesterday the Raspi was delivered and I wanted to start right away, ran up and down to fetch keyboard, mouse, network cable and ... ... damn where is my HDMI cable? No clue. Frustrated I created a nice temporary case with lego and prepared my SD card with Wheezy ( http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/raspbian-2014-01-09/2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian.zip ) Format SD card USB Tool by Alex  and went to bed.
