Re: WiFi drops when I plug in my components

Dear Juan, What might be happening is that your operating system gives precedence to the wired connection over the wireless connection for routing traffic. Without knowing your PC's operating system, we cannot know. To work around such issues in general, I always first install Wireguard on my revpi'...

Dear Bob,

In that case I'd RMA it.

Re: RevPi Connect 32Gb Brand new issues

Dear Bob,

Have you tried attaching a screen to see the boot sequence? There is a micro-HDMI connector on the top of the device, to which you can hook up any old HDMI monitor.

Re: Node-Red for PLC Logic

Dear Mitchell, I’ve been pondering the same. In my opinion, the visual languages tend to scale badly and make (automated) code review quite hard. People in the industry that I’ve talked to say that they are looking to generate the PLC code instead of writing it, because it is to repetitive and britt...

Spammers galore

Dear Kunbus, I follow this forum via the RSS feed and see that a lot of spammers get through. Lately, their messages have become more and more seemingly on topic (but really not). Their posts used to be taken down, but now they stay up. Examples are Wepid1961, willie34, josiahwarren and victorpatric...

Re: Autostart python folder

Dear waischa, For Python scripts on bare metal we use systemd: https://www.makeuseof.com/what-is-systemd-launch-programs-raspberry-pi/ The advantage is that this is how it works on all Raspberry Pi based and even most other Linux systems, not just Revolution Pi. Also, you can have as many autostarti...

Re: How to deactivate network interface pileft

Dear all, This seems to be a general complaint about Teamviewer, based on what people post on their forums. Other remote desktop systems work fine without such limitations (e.g. VNC, but there are plenty others). Many computer systems have dynamic MAC addresses nowadays. If you run any form of VPN v...

Re: Retrieve data from profinet

Dear Joes,

Looks like you only need Python libraries: https://pypi.org/project/iolink/ Profinet runs on top of Ethernet, I gather, but this is really a python-profinet question, not so much a Revolution Pi question.

Disclaimer: Note that I know nothing of Profinet. :)

Re: RevPi Clock

Dear Simon, I think that the Revolution Pi syncs its time automatically. I have installed quite a few Revolution Pi's and never had any one of them drift from real time. The older ones do not use UTC as the system timezone, but that is easily fixed by running: sudo timedatectl set-timezone UTC You c...
