Here's the schematic that adds the light sensor and pushbuttons. This, along with the other schematics are available on the sub-board called 'LiveSect...
No, the level converter is not used for anything other than the LED strings. The NEED to use one is based on the specs given by the manufacturer of th...
The schematic shows the 3 pins that need to be connected. - Mark
So if I understand, you will be building a map with 460 LED's, correct? So yes, you need to convert the digital out output of the PI which is 3.3v u...
There is a sub-board that has schematics for the various build combinations. But it sounds like you are looking for this one; - Mark
Yes you can open config.py and change the settings manually. Change the setting 'loglevel = 1' to '0' to set it for debug mode. If you have a monito...
That's a great question. I've not done any research on the reasons behind when and why an airport wouldn't publish, so the information you provided is...
Great write up and thanks for the tip on the light pipes. I'll have to check them out. - Mark
Dave, I have a few thoughts here, then I'll address your questions. You mentioned that you are not using a level converter, and I know that the LED'...
Great news! I'm glad to see its operating properly. Thanks again for keeping us all up to date. - Mark
Bill is correct, the Pi Zero is running on a couple of my boards. The only thing I notice is that the speed in which things happen is slower. For inst...
That's a new on for me. I've not seen the RPI cause a problem like this. I admire your stick-to-it-iveness. Let us know how it goes. - Mark
Yep, the two pins are shorted somehow. If you don't want to tear it apart, then just leave that rotary switch setting set to METAR's. It will limit yo...
The first thing that comes to mind is to be sure of which data product is being displayed. Verify that METAR's is setup as the default data in Basic S...
Wow, that's beautiful! Great job. I'm sorry for the issues. You mentioned that 'I hope its not all operator error'. In my world, I'm really hoping tha...
