Raspberry Pi 4

A quick trip to WallMart and about 12 bucks a copy fixes that, get a 64GB in either Samsung or PNY brands.

I decided long ago that having room enough to let the u-sd wear leveler work was one way to prolong the life of the card. I've had SanDisk 100% failures at 8 and 16 GB, but I've had zero failures of either 32GB or 64GB if i stick to SamSung or PNY.

The last thing you need is to have it go read-only when you've only got a step or three to a working setup. Head that one off at the starting gate.

Sorry no Walmart over here in Sweden and a flight to US and back home tends to be a little extensive for an old fart like me with a very low pension

Sorry, Apologies and all that. I tend to forget this is a planetwide forum. As for the old fart and pension, I'm 84 yo, on SS here in the USA too. But you should have something peddling computer stuff within a short drive. I've no clue how the prices would compare though. u-sd cards fit most cameras and here even the drug stores carry a few of those. Usually at elevated prices though. I've been reworking cards myself today, putting the stuff from your shrunken image on cards without realtime kernels. But haven't gotten to the garage to test them yet. I'm also playing with the 64 bit net install. and I may have a working rpspi.ko driver for it, yet to be tested. Thhe one in the linuxcnc install doesn't like an rpi3b with a 64bit install. But just because the 64 bit buster boots from grub, making kernel swaps a piece of cake, I'd sure like to get that going on my rpi3b thats running my 11x54 Sheldon now.

What are you going to run with your project?

ctrl-alt-f1 into the terminal. run sudo raspi-config and resize the image. it should resize the partition when you reboot and then the gui will work.

no video, not even while the green led is busy doing whatever. I've taken the first monitor back and traded it for one in a sealed box, but no video on it either, this with the hdmi_drive turned up to 8. The monitor simply does not sense the signal. I've taken the monitor to the rpi3 running the lathe, and it displays the rpi3b's 1920x1080 normally.

So I guess the $16 micro to std hdmi adapter is not working. I have 2 more real cheap, $3.50 a pair, coming from banggood along with that massive heat sink, so it looks as if the rp-4 is going to stay cold till those get here, no clue when since the chinese stuff might be shipping by donkey cart. I hope they ae good swimmers. lol.

I did find a 64G with a RealtimePi conversion of raspian stretch on it that runs the lathe, ok, albeit with glacial video. So I guess until the rp4 decides to make video, thats what I'm running with. I have another project for the 6040 gantry machine, I need to make some curtain hanger sliders for a 30 yo popup camper some friends own, and he's had some health problems, currently emptying a bag glued to a hole in his side for his excrement, so it hasn't turned a wheel in several years. But I told his missus I'd make some. So somewhere along the line I should round up a round tuit and write some gcode. Step and repeat thing, I've a 4 foot stick of white delrin, 1" b y 1/2" that I should be able get 35 or so of them out of. That will be about 3 sets of spares.

Putting your realtime kernel on a card with an pi3b buster 1.1 install on it, only partially boots with several pages of errors on the pi3b, so I assume its for an rpi4 only. Doesn't show any video on the rpi4. rpi4's green led looks like its booting to something, but I'm blind w/o working video of any kind.

Take care.

No worries Gene.

My plan is to see whether it will run my upcoming plasma with 7i96. First I need to get Touch working =Aiptek USB.
Then PlasmaC.
