OrangePi Zero – Erste Schritte

Aktuell ist der OrangePi Zero in der 256MB Variante für knapp 7 Euro bei Aliexpress zu haben. Ich habe mir gleich die 512 MB Variante angeschafft, diese kostet knapp 9 Euro. Für ein IoT Gerät und als Ersatz für einen Raspberry Pi, dazu noch mit integriertem WLAN, auf jeden Fall wert sich die Produkte mal anzuschauen. Ich habe mir den OrangePi PC 2 auch gleich mitbestellt, für knapp 20 Euro bekommt man ein leistungsstarkes 64 Bit System, die den Raspberry Pi 3 leicht ersetzen könnte, dazu schreibe ich aber in einem anderen Beitrag.

Setting up DS1302 RTC Geekcreit kit with Orange Pi Zero – Codelectron. As part of a Geekcreit sensor kit which I recently got from banggood there was this RTC aka Real Time Clock module.

Setting up DS1302 RTC Geekcreit kit with Orange Pi Zero – Codelectron

Out of the list of 45 sensors I picked this one as my first to get it working with Arduino and Orange Pi Zero. The Real Time Clock module is used in project where you need to know the date and the time. Now there are many methods to fetch time to a system. Some of the common methods depending on the location of the project are Network Time Server, GPS and if you are in Germany you can also use DCF77. In these methods it depends on wireless or Internet communication and depending on your project it might be an unreliable source of time keeping.

How to get analog input for Orange Pi Zero using MCP3208 – Codelectron

The Orange Pi Zero does not have any analog input much like Raspberry pi. So we need to interface with another chip which provides analog input. There are plenty of such chips which provide analog input and today we are going to see the chip MCP3208 from Microchip. The MCP3208 is a 12bit, 8 channel, Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Analogue to Digital Converter. It comes as a 16 pin DIP and is also available as the 3201/2/4 with 1, 2 and 4 channels.

How to access remote desktop on Pi boards in a secure way – Codelectron. There are plenty of ways gain a remote desktop access to a Linux running board but how secure are those protocol is a question.

In addition to that have a port open and exposed just for the purpose of remote access while ssh does the similar thing is redundant. Then I found the X2Go project. X2Go is an open source remote desktop software for Linux that uses the NX technology protocol. X2Go gives remote access to both Linux and Windows Desktops. The X2go clients available for Linux, Windows and Mac. How to setup Orange PI Zero – Codelectron. Yes I got my Orange Pi Zero :).

How to setup Orange PI Zero – Codelectron

For the last couple of years I have been seeing the price of hackerboards going lower and lower and the emergence of AllWinner chips made it drastically lower. There was a kickstarter campaign called CHIP selling a board for $9 but with a $29 shipping cost so it wasn’t possible to call it a low cost board. Enter Orange Pi Zero, you actually get a board for $6.99 in AliExpress,and only if you have patience to wait for 20 to 40 days. I decided to buy it from Banggood.com. You can also buy it by clicking the link below. How to setup SpeechRecognition in Orange Pi Zero using python – Codelectron.

We are living in the age where Deep learning is going to through a transformation. Artificial intelligence is making its presence in every field may it be medicine or industry or media etc. It all narrows down to Machine learning where the its possible to make the machine learn it self. I wanted to do something interesting in this topic .So i thought of making something with speech recognition. So what is speech recogntion? It is the ability of a machine or program to identify words and phrases in spoken language and convert them to a machine-readable format. Hardware Getting started.

The following hardware is required for this The below links are my affiliate links. Intro to Orange PI Zero Interface board – Codelectron. I have been playing with Orange Pi Zero and its been quiet interesting to explore the ecosystem given that it has a Pi interface, in addition to that there is another series of pins that are exposed it is called Orange Pi Zero interface and it has also got an addon board to it. The pinout of the interface is shown below. It has two USB slots, stereo audio output, mic input, TV out and IR receiver. I have tested couple of the peripherals in the interface board which I will be posting soon. It is a very useful addon if you want to extend your USB slot or work with IR or any audio multimedia application. I bought it from Banggood.com if you are interested in buying them, then you can check my affiliate links below.

The 26-pin expansion port of the Orange Pi Zero is placed on the opposite side of the board compared to Raspberry Pi while the pinout is exactly the same: OSH Lab created a nice illustration of the Orange Pi Zero expansion port.

Orange Pi Zero GPIO Pins It took me a while to discover that the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) numbering on the Orange Pi Zero with Armbian Legacy 3.4.113 is different from the Raspberry Pi and Raspbian. Here is how Allwinner SoC port names (such as PB12) are mapped to their GPIO pin numbers in the Linux kernel: (Position of letter in alphabet - 1) * 32 + Pin number. Orange PI – d0wn. After installing my orange pi zero. I tried to use my board the reencode some video file that use xvid/ac3 to x264/aac with the ffmpeg linux command. The problem was that it took more than two hours at 100% cpu usage on the 4 cores to reencode the video, during that time the cpu was getting instantly too hot and, as a result, was heavily throttling .

I tried to use a radiator, and it significantly reduced the amount of throttling but it was not eliminating it, since eventually the cpu reached pretty high temperature. I decided to add a fan to blow on the radiator to reduce even further the cpu temperature. I didn’t want the fan to be running all the time so I decided to use the gpio function of my board to control the state of a pin to start and stop a fan.

The problem is that the logic levels sent by the gpio is 3.3v which is much to low to start the fan i own. Of course, this is not going to be OK.

I wanted a robust enclosure for my Orange Pi Zero, so it could be placed outside and withstand at least a bit of dust and a little rain from time to time.

It had to expose a power connection and a USB port and have good wifi reception. The principle use case was as a headless Linux box to run dump1090 so I could track aircraft using an attached USB DVB-T dongle. Beginners guide to the Orange Pi Zero - lucsmall.com. The Orange Pi Zero is a neat low cost single board computer: it is very compact (approx. 46 x 48mm).it forgoes things like HDMI connectors, making it ideal for headless, embedded applications.it supports wifi as well as wired ethernet.it is quite powerful, having an Allwinner H2+ system-on-chip (SoC) featuring a quad core ARM Cortex-A7 processor. Full specs and other useful information is available on the linux-sunxi.org wiki.Linux support is very good, thanks to Armbian.it is very cheap.
