<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>In Progress</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>0</i> to <i>90</i></li></ul><p>This works waaaaay better. The server doesn't drop the network connection anymore. I can use a bare RPi3 with wifi dongle, USB stick w/videos, and the keyboard dongle - no need for extra USB hat.</p>
<p>I've ordered a clear case for the RPi 3 from Adafruit (be here in a week or so) so I can replace the one in the Media Server box. Then I'll have my client/server demo ready for Maker Faire.</p>
<p>Status: just waiting on the clear case.</p> PiBox - Testing #654: Replace Media Server RPi B with RPi 3https://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/654?journal_id=23062018-08-09T00:08:41ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul></ul><p>Clear case arrived. Pi3 is not laid out the same as Pi1. I need to drill another hold in the back for the audio output.</p>
<p>Waiting now on <a href="http://www.l-com.com/usb-usb-type-a-coupler-female-bulkhead-male-12-in" class="external">USB Type A Coupler, Female Bulkhead/Male, 12 in.</a> cables that should allow me to use the existing HDMI hole while letting me plug in USB media sticks in the front on the Media server.</p> PiBox - Testing #654: Replace Media Server RPi B with RPi 3https://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/654?journal_id=23192018-08-15T16:42:57ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul></ul><p>The cables were still too long so I had to expand the hole in the wooden case. But everything is in place now and tested. I think the solder on the power switch to the GPIO power pin connectors is bad because I'm getting low voltage warnings on the Pi. I need to redo those.</p>
<p>After re-soldering the connections I need to configure the server and player to be a stand alone network. Then those will be ready to go for Maker Faire.</p> PiBox - Testing #654: Replace Media Server RPi B with RPi 3https://redmine.graphics-muse.org/issues/654?journal_id=23252018-08-16T00:49:35ZHammelmjhammel@graphics-muse.org
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>In Progress</i> to <i>Closed</i></li><li><strong>% Done</strong> changed from <i>90</i> to <i>100</i></li></ul><p>Resoldering fixed the voltage problems. No low voltage warnings anymore.</p>
<p>Server is setup as an AP and player is configured to use it. Tested by playing videos on both. No problems at all.</p>
<p>Closing issue.</p>
