OK thanks for the quick reply. That makes some sense. Iāll pick up another 3B and use this 3B+ for something else.
I guess you can make it work by replacing start.elf on the card with one copied from latest Raspbian. At least thatās how it usually works.
Oh, and you might need a new kernel too to support the USB and Ethernet ports (the new chip).
Hi,
My Rasp is Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V 1.2 and ruuviberry started fine from the latest image - ruuviberry_2018_04_18.img.
But the WLAN seems to be totally missing. The OS canāt even find any adapters. othervise the OS seems to be OK. Is this a bug or a feature?
This is a feature, the Raspberry should advertise itself as a āRuuviGWā hotspot. You can remove br0 which bridges the Ethernet and WiFi together.
Sorry, Iām a newby in Rasbian world. Where exactly I ought to remove br0? Removing it from etc/network/interfaces make no difference and there are 416 files or directories named br0?
Finally looping back because Iām tired of being tethered. I tried a few resources, most directed me to the method shown here. When I hover over the network connection tray icon it says ābr0: Departed,ā and I have no network access even with an ethernet cable connected. Rebooting always results in br0 coming back. I recall also trying to edit the network configuration files with no luck. @otso or @Andre_Norrback can you help?
Great. Thanks. I had those instructions from scattered posts and itās handy to have them in one place. Also maybe Iām missing out on some nice utility of the basal setup. Whatās the purpose of having it set up as a hotspot?
Hello,
The image is setup as a hotspot because it allows people to connect to it and view the data without finding the IP address of the Pi from a router or a network scan.
Hi Otso,
A real beginner hereā¦
I have an Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and tried to follow the instructions that you linked to.
I installed the latest version of Rasbian Stretch release date 2018-10-09
Got Grafana and InfluxDB working toghter but I can not get RuuviCollector to work, I totally lost with with it.
Is it possible that someone can make an ISO image for me for the latest version of Pi?
Hello,
Weāll update the image at some point, but I canāt promise exact schedule.
What is your issue with the RuuviCollector?
Hi,
Tanks for fast replay.
My problem seems to be with HCIDump and HCITool. You have to remeber that Iām a totally green with this so there can other things also.
So perhaps the fastest solution for me would be to buy a P 2 or 3B?
Christer
Have you checked the github.com/scrin/RuuviCollector instructions on how to run HCItool without sudo?
Jep, perhaps I will try to start allover again to be sure I got all other parts installed correct and not messed up with wrong paths and so
No luck with anything I triedā¦
Ruuviberry images, different versionsā¦ no luck
Installing one by oneā¦ no luck
So my question is: Is it the easiest way for me to buy Raspberry pi 2?
Hello, the latest image runs on Pi 3B (Not 3B+)
I noticed that, sometimes itās not a good thing to buy the latest toyā¦
At least I have learned a lot even if I do not have anything up and running
Have to buy a Pi3B so I can start logging.
Thank you all for all advices and help
Not being a pro, I spent hours with the ruuviberry imageā¦ony to finally find out here that it doesntā work with the latest 3B+.
What about adding a note in the blog?
Itās a trap for dummies today.
