• Status Update #1

  Kevin Williams • 07/21/2017 at 23:51 • 0 comments

  New PI3 came this week, hats off to Copperhill Technologies for getting a replacement out so fast.  Also purchased a Bluetooth keyboard and 7" touch screen. 
  

  Issues at this point:

  • need a 5V 2.5A power source (purchased a 3A, as I need to power PI, PICAN and screen)
  • Kivy app shows on screen but touch screen not working, may need to start from CLI and not desktop, but with power issue did not want to continue testing
  • with the PICAN on the PI cannot connect jumpers from screen control board to GPIO, ordered and extender with longer pins

  Good link for connecting PI3 to touchscreen.

• Bad Wifi

  Got everything set up on the pi to read the CAN-BUS, was connecting to it through the ODB-II port for now (ultimately will use the radio harness as it has the high and low can connections), but the ODB-II is convenient and has +12V power - so good for testing.

  Pi power on, no readings, brought it back in a changed some settings, plugged it back and now no WiFi -- research seems to point to bad WiFi card, as Bluetooth is out too. Contacted Copperhill and they are sending a new pi.
