Powering Rpi from Biboard v0 while USB is connected

When the Biboard is supplying 5V to power a Raspberry Pi, would it hurt anything to connect the USB from the Pi to the USB-C input of the Biboard? I just want to make sure that connecting the live USB power back to the Biboard would not be a problem. Thanks.

It works! No perpetual power supply but tapping into 5V to power the RPi and connecting the USB to USB-c worked with no ill effects. I just have to mount the old RPi 2 I've been using and see how well Bittle moves and if the battery life goes down too much. If it doesn't work well, I'll pick up a RPi 0W which also works with VirtualHere. Then I'll do a separate post to let people know of this alternative wifi solution.

Failed to Start MU Vision Camera

14:25:22.101 ->

Hi - When I try to run opencat32 It appears that everything works, but at the end the serial monitor reports that the camera fails to start.


Any help would be appreciated.

Which Grove socket do you plug in? It should be as follows:


Make sure the dial switches on the Mu camera is as v ^ v v (the second switch dialed up to I2C).

Please send serial command XC in the serial monitor to switch to Camera mode.

and press the reset button on the Mu camera

Any fixes for bluetooth connection to Mac?

I'm trying to use Mind+ with Bittlex on my Macs. My M1 MBP won't stay connected after one initial execution of a routine. My older Intel Mac connects initially but, after restarting Mind+ and Bittlex, I have to forget the bluetooth device and reconnect it.


None of my many other bluetooth devices has this problem. I think it's been a know issue for a long time now and wonder if there has been any progress on a fix. Thanks.

That does sound frustrating, especially when other Bluetooth devices work normally. Have you tried checking whether there’s a firmware update for Bittlex or a newer version of Mind+? Sometimes clearing all paired records and reconnecting from scratch helps too. By the way, documenting troubleshooting steps clearly is a lot like a good bio writing service, small details often make it easier to spot what's going wrong.
