Bored

I have been playing with some Rasberry Pi,
and Beagle board stuff here are some notes:


Rasberry Pi

************************************
Old Receiver into Bluetooth Receiver:
This was the first one i did:

You need to create a Balena account, but it will expose you to alot of board programming stuff.

Transmit FM:
my favorite
This uses the Micphrone project in conjunction
with the FM Transmitter app to broadcast the Microphone
on a FM  frequency ( 100 and 105.7 )

Here is the website with the tutorial I followed:
Fm Transmit

To play a wave
sudo ./fm_transmitter -f 100  -r acoustic_guitar_duet.wav

Here is the command to transmit from USB MIC on FM 105.7
arecord --device hw:1,0 -c1 -d 0 -r 48100 -f S16_LE -V mono | sudo /home/pi/PI_FM/fm_transmitter/fm_transmitter -f 105.7 -

Get Old Printer on Network:
Moved my old HP Deskjet 3845 out of office and out of the way

Used this tutorial and cups
Printer On Pi


I had to use version 3.18.6 OF HPLIP with custom setup and uncheck Qt4 & Qt5 interfaces.


current HPLIP

the hardest part was getting the HP Deskjet 3845 Driver.
( a 3840 cups driver that worked was in 3.18.6 ))

I also had to do this:
lpadmin -p  HP_Deskjet_3840 -o usb-no-reattach-default=true

then a restart of the Pi.
