Raspberry pi and HP touchpad - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering what the possibilities are here. Anyone got any experience with a raspberry pi and HP touchpad, how they interact with each, networking to PC's etc? Thanks for your feedback tips and hints and of course interesting pictures and guides

Hello,
I have a RPi as a NAS (torrent downloader and network storage) and I access the files through the network (with the Touchpad and PCs). If you are looking for something like that, you can search for guides to setting-up you RPi in that way.
The files are accesed within a samba server on the RPi, and using any network file explorer from Android or PC. The RPi is running 24/7 without troubles.

Kali OS for our Raspberry

What you guys think about it?
I gonna try it - this night I want to download an .img file for raspberry and also .iso for normal computers
Website: http://kali.org/
Download: http://www.kali.org/downloads/ (you need to chose armel architecture and then Raspberry PI version)
About (docs): http://www.kali.org/official-documentation/
Yeah I saw this also, it will be fun to use but it will not be good for cracking passwords fast because of the raspberry pi's hardware. Might test it out on mine soon
Informations from me (will be keep updated):
Didn't try the special applications yet, but I feel it boots much slower than Raspbian. Reading package lists is slower too, but it's prolly because of more apps on list, so it's possible to fix.
Use Thunar file manager - it's much faster than the second one.
Midori is shutting down without any reason.
3.8GB of SD card used after writing it (checked in file manager).
Chromium doesn't work at all.
Already decided to stop using it, just need to test tools now...
I installed it , but how do I connect to the internet? I dont see any wifi scanner to find a network.
Also i went to the command prompt and is not readying my usb wifi adapter... doesnt find wlan0

I connected it with ethernet cable so I didn't have such a problem.
It's strange that kali doesn't see a wificard - it has many built-in drivers. Maybe you are searching wlan0, when it's for example wlan1? Did u use ifconfig and iwconfig?
From my understanding the rPi does better with hf than it does el, so it seems that if Kali OS could be compiled for the rPi using armhf instead that the performance might be better overall than running an armel version. On that note, you won't see the same speeds as a Raspbian distro merely because it is using armel compared to Raspbian which uses armhf.

create a media server with raspberry pi, external hdd, and video games consoles?

Hey guys, getting into getting a home media server setup and need help. Currently I want to keep this as cheep as possible. I want to take a 3TB external HDD found here, connect it to a raspberry pi with wifi found here, and use it to connect the HDD to the raspberry pi, and my ubuntu/windows laptop as a media center. I want to be able to use my HDD for anything and everything I want to do on my laptop, but also have a partition plugged into the raspberry pi, with all my movies and music on it to stream around my house. I want to be able to rip a DVD, or buy an MP4, copy it to that folder, turn off my computer, and still be able to use the raspberry pi as the media server. Then I want to be able to play everything on the raspberry pi on my PS3, Xbox 360, unlocked wii, rooted android tablets/phones, and other computer on my local internet connection. I know the raspberry pi supports a XBMC setup, and also linux. Is there a way to setup it up like that with XBMC, and connect to all my devices, or a better software approach? I chose the pi for its price, and its options to change software for many purposes, and extra accessories for the price. Currently I have 1 xbox 360 elite, PS3 250GB, a unlocked/hacked wii, and a stock wii (able to mod also) I want to stream to, and android devices would be a plus, especially if away from home. I get 25MB/s internet download speeds, but I have a 300MB/S dual band motorola surfboard router. Would it be possible to set this all up how I want? The consoles are already setup to all the TVs, and I have experience tinkering with software. I want to keep this under $100 if possible (HDD is already ordered), since I already have all the consoles and TVs.
This would be awesome.
I'm currently trying to do just this. I've not found much help online for this. Any luck so far?

WiFi Router, Media Server and Mobile Tethering

I'm not sure if i'm asking in the right place and I have taken to Google for an hour or so and read for a couple more but can't seem to find a solution, or the only solutions I can find only do a one or two things and not everything.
I have the crazy idea earlier that I could use my RaspberryPi B+ to use as a router and media server in the family car to provide in car entertainment for everyone, that's not too difficult if I follow a few tutorials (as a n00b it goes a little over my head but I'm sure I could do it.)
Then I thought what a great idea to use it as router tethered to my phone so everyone can get internet from my phone through the Pi. Now I can't seem to find out how to it, well not easily.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to start looking or alternatively have any links to an image or some resources that tell me how to do such things combined in one case.
Big thanks to anyone who can help.

Rpi has most popular Linux distributions aboard. If you want to make a router of it, search how to do it for the Linux system. For example, Rpi has a ubuntu port, search "ubuntu 3G tethering how to"
About internet sharing you can use usb tethering on your phone to connect it to pi.
Why don't you just simply use WiFi hotspot of your phone ( it eats the battery but you can buy a power bank)
Some basic Suggestions/Where to start.
So you are asking about three different things here; I hope I can help you answer all three.
1. Wifi Router.
You can follow this project from adafruit to create a wifi router.
If you are using a Pi 3, be careful of exceptions when setting up the hostapd.
Google: adafruit setting up a raspberry pi as a wifi access point
2. Media Server:
I haven't really looked into this.
My guess is that you will be using SMB (samba in linux speak.)
3. Wifi Tethering:
Again, I haven't really looked into this.
I am sure there is a little quirky with lsusb and then finding the right drivers to get things togeather.
If you have an android phone, you should be just able to enable USB tethering in settings.

Collect data from sensors and show on the android app, is it possible?

Hello guys!
I have a raspberry PI 3 (model b) with all necessary accessories and different sensors such as (DHT11, BMP 180, MQ-2 etc.)
So far I have managed to install Raspbian OS and log-in to PI using Putty via Wi-Fi (as I don't have external screen)
1. Is it possible to connect many sensors let's say about 3 to 5 to a single breadboard connected with raspberry PI 3?
2. Once the sensors are added successfully is it possible to collect and send data to the android app? Let's say if I create a very simple looking android app and then I can see the temperature directly from the sensor on phone?
I know there are different IoT platforms that allow sharing data in the cloud, but I want to build everything from scratch.
I am a beginner on this, so I am still studying and reading but would appreciate if someone could give me some guidance where to start.
Regards
you can use and adruino and a bluetooth module to connect it to a raspberry pi and build an app to receive and display the data from the sensors. building one myself for a project.
U can do something like this with raspberry pi + arduino
https://github.com/Ayush1325/SmartHomeModel
Raspberry pi and arduino are connected via a simple serial usb cable that comes with arduino.
It uses PubNub as the server and arduino and Android phone are connected to internet.
why not just RDP or use JuiceSSH for viewing remotely

Pi3 Locks up regularly

Hi All,
I'm not overly experienced with my pi but looking for some support and hopefully will get better with more use.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit), freshly flashed a couple weeks ago. It is running headless, with a wired ethernet connection.
I have installed Portainer and Docker with three different containers. (qBittorrent, Gluten, Zwave2mqtt)
There is a an Aeotec Zwave USB stick installed.
The pi becomes unresponsive every day or every other day. No ability to SSH in.
Historically, the pi worked fine with a similar (though not exact) setup, including the USB stick. This was with the 32bit version of the OS, not using portainer and only the Zwave2mqtt as a docker image.
Would be glad to get log files, but I haven't been able to figure out which log files I need to pull to help diagnose this problem. Where do I start with this kind of troubleshooting?
Thanks!
