My spouse wanted music to come on automatically in our bathrooms, so I made the Apollo Light - a light-activated music player. I'm pretty proud of it, and my wife loves it. They'll end up in every bathroom we have.

I made it possible to easily reverse the light activation so it can serve as a white noise machine at bedtime.

Is there a way to remotely replace the certificate? I can upload it through the web UI, but I'd like to have that process automated.

Is there a tangara community? Have many technical questions and I'm not sure where to ask.

In LMDE, I installed the .deb so I have the driver. In Manjaro, I'm just using a generic driver. In both cases, I can't select duplex printing.

If I log into the printer's control panel, 1-Sided Printing is Off.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a Zero set up with usb0 as g_ether and a static IP address:

usb0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.14.0.15  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.14.0.255
        ether 7e:24:7d:cc:68:7c  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)

        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)

I have the OTG port connected to one of the four USB ports on a 4b. I'm not sure what the next steps are to get the actual connectivity to function, though. I've seen posts saying that gadget mode is only supported on the USB-C port - does that only mean for using the 4b as a peripheral, or does that mean for any connectivity, even if it's the host?

New to CircuitPython, this feels like it should work according to the docs but it prints six Falses. Any ideas?

#!/usr/bin/env python
import board
import digitalio
import time

class body_controller:

  def __init__(self):
    SWDIO = board.D5
    self._reset_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(SWDIO)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.switch_to_output(True)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)

  def turn_on(self):
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.value = False
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    time.sleep(1)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.value = True
    print(self._reset_pin.value)

body = body_controller()
time.sleep(1)
body.turn_on()
time.sleep(1)

Is there any way to turn off the random tips like "make a receipts folder!" in the Linux desktop app?

This happens if I use set_time or set_position. Is this typical, or am I just not doing it right?

This is on a Pi Zero 2 W, so not the most powerful, but should be able to handle this.

These are the relevant bits of how I'm setting up the player:

    self._vlc = vlc.Instance()
    self._player = self._vlc.media_player_new()
    self._list_player = self._vlc.media_list_player_new()
    self._list_player.set_media_player(self._player)

    playlist = self._vlc.media_list_new()
    for index in self._play_order:
      playlist.add_media(self._vlc.media_new_path(self._songs[index]))

    self._list_player.stop()
    self._list_player.set_media_list(playlist)
    self._list_player.play()

And trying to seek is just this:

    self._player.set_time(_s_to_ms(seconds))

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I've somehow managed to bend a RAM clip so it can't clip anymore because it's blocking itself. I haven't been able to bend it back. Any suggestions?

I have a Keybow MINI hooked up to a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and I'm using Python to respond to events. I have one button that kicks off playing a song on a passive buzzer, and I'm wondering if there's a way to have a button press stop the song before it completes.
