Raspberry Pi screen with 'quick release' GPIO - raspberry-pi

Has anyone had any experience with interfacing a Pi with a HAT via GPIO pins that can quickly and reliably be 'detached' from the Pi. Im thinking something similar to a Super Nintendo Cartridge would connect with the console.

I know this "clamp" but it requires an Raspberry without soldered pins.

How to enable the sound via audio cable on raspberry pi running on FullPageOS?

I’m using a raspberry pi to display my geckoboard dashboard on TV but there is no sound.
Any help will be appreciated.
Go to raspi-config (sudo raspi-config) using your terminal.
System Options (1 for now)
Audio then option 1 (for audio jack)
Check out the Raspberry pi Documentation for more infos.

raspberry pi 4 onboard virtual keyboard AT-SPI: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus. Is at-spi-bus-launcher running?

I installed "onboard" as a virtual keyboard on the system. It looked much nicer and more useful than matchbox. I went into the settings and chose the auto open option when I edit the post. after that i restarted my raspberry pi. As it didn't come on automatically, I couldn't run it from the terminal or the menu normally. The error I get when I try to run it from terminal
Hej blackmamba,
I had the same issue with the on screen keyboard florence. After I installed at-spi2-core, it didn't crash anymore, though i could not get it to open automatically.
So I tried installing onboard and everything worked quiet well. Might be a hint..

Raspberry Pi 4 Bluetooth LE (BLE) Mesh with nRF52832

I'd like to use Raspberry Pi 4 to collect data from several BLE mesh supported devices (beacons) that uses a chip like nRF52832, nRF52833 or nRF52840.
I know that Pi 4 comes with bluetooth 5.0.
My question is, can I use Pi 4 as it is without any hat, cape etc. connected to collect data from the beacons that uses those chips and communicates by using the BLE mesh technology.
Yes, you should be able to use the Raspberry Pi for mesh functionality depending on the version of BlueZ that is available there. Mesh functionality was initially added in BlueZ v5.47 (September 2017) and subsequent versions of BlueZ have had bug fixes and additions to this feature. You can find more information here:-
http://www.bluez.org/
You can check the version of BlueZ that is on your Raspberry Pi through the following command:-
bluetoothctl --version
I hope this helps.

How do you get a waveshare 3.5 inch touch LCD to work with Raspbian Jessie?

I have a waveshare 3.5 inch touch LCD display and I m trying to get it working with the latest version of Raspbian A.K.A Raspbian Jessie. I followed futurice.com 's tutorial on getting it to work (tutorial is titled I'd like some LCD on my pi) and it worked on Raspbian Wheezy just fine. All I get now is a blank white screen. All help is greatly appreciated! (I must use the official Raspbian Jessie image without NOOBS from the Raspberry pi website.) I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Mobel B +.
From the product page:
Why the LCD doesn't work with my Raspbian? To use the LCD with the
Raspberry Pi official image, driver should be installed first. Please
refer to the user manual. However, for the first testing, you may want
to use our provided image directly. Why the LCD still doesn't work
with the Waveshare provided image? Make sure the hardware connection
is correct and connects fine. Make sure the image in TF card is burnt
correctly. The PWR will keep on and the ACT will keep blinking when
the Raspberry Pi starts up successfully, in case both of the two LEDs
keep on, it is possible that the image was burnt incorrectly OR the TF
card was in bad contact. Which power supply should I use? It is
strongly recommended to use a stand-alone 5V/2A power adapter, because
the PC's USB port might doesn't have enough power to support the Pi
and LCD. For more info, please check the wiki page
You can find more info on their wiki.
It sounds like you either need to use their Raspian image, or install the driver for this display on your existing Raspian install:
wget http://www.waveshare.net/w/upload/7/73/LCD-show.tar.gz
tar xvf LCD-show.tar.gz
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show

How do i make the Raspberry Pi use a Custom OS

I have made an OS is cosmos, but I cant seem to get the Raspberry Pi to actually boot the OS up. I made a bootable SD card and USB stick but the raspberry pi doesn't load anything up.
Cosmos os only supports the x86 processor type. All versions of the raspberry pi either use ARM_6 or ARM_7. A completely different type. So what I'm saying is Cosmos OS won't work on your raspberry pi because it was made for computers with a different type of computer chip. For your raspberry pi I suggest you use raspian which is the operating system the Raspberry Pi Foundation suggests using. You can download it here.
