TheButtonJustSpins

In LMDE, I installed the .deb so I have the driver. In Manjaro, I'm just using a generic driver. In both cases, I can't select duplex printing.

If I log into the printer's control panel, 1-Sided Printing is Off.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a Zero set up with usb0 as g_ether and a static IP address:

usb0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.14.0.15  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.14.0.255
        ether 7e:24:7d:cc:68:7c  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

I have the OTG port connected to one of the four USB ports on a 4b. I'm not sure what the next steps are to get the actual connectivity to function, though. I've seen posts saying that gadget mode is only supported on the USB-C port - does that only mean for using the 4b as a peripheral, or does that mean for any connectivity, even if it's the host?

New to CircuitPython, this feels like it should work according to the docs but it prints six Falses. Any ideas?

#!/usr/bin/env python
import board
import digitalio
import time

class body_controller:

  def __init__(self):
    SWDIO = board.D5
    self._reset_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(SWDIO)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.switch_to_output(True)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)

  def turn_on(self):
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.value = False
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    time.sleep(1)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.value = True
    print(self._reset_pin.value)

body = body_controller()
time.sleep(1)
body.turn_on()
time.sleep(1)

Is there any way to turn off the random tips like "make a receipts folder!" in the Linux desktop app?

This happens if I use set_time or set_position. Is this typical, or am I just not doing it right?

This is on a Pi Zero 2 W, so not the most powerful, but should be able to handle this.

These are the relevant bits of how I'm setting up the player:

    self._vlc = vlc.Instance()
    self._player = self._vlc.media_player_new()
    self._list_player = self._vlc.media_list_player_new()
    self._list_player.set_media_player(self._player)

    playlist = self._vlc.media_list_new()
    for index in self._play_order:
      playlist.add_media(self._vlc.media_new_path(self._songs[index]))

    self._list_player.stop()
    self._list_player.set_media_list(playlist)
    self._list_player.play()

And trying to seek is just this:

    self._player.set_time(_s_to_ms(seconds))

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I've somehow managed to bend a RAM clip so it can't clip anymore because it's blocking itself. I haven't been able to bend it back. Any suggestions?

I have a Keybow MINI hooked up to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and I'm using Python to respond to events. I have one button that kicks off playing a song on a passive buzzer, and I'm wondering if there's a way to have a button press stop the song before it completes.

Do anyone else's wrist hairs get caught in the little gap between the frame and the trackpad/spacers?

Does anyone know if it's possible to have events from the Keybow keyboard cause effects on the Pi Zero W running the keyboard instead of outputting to another machine? Or do I need to go with a different OS and figure out the handling of the keys myself?

Anyone have a list of changes that they've made to increase battery life? I've got about three hours (with 80% limit in BIOS, which I might get rid of), so I'm sure there's a lot that can be changed.
