Thanks for the info. It's good to know this is correct. There is one
nut case in the Forth group who replies to my posts with a bit of boiler
plate added saying my lines were not wrapped correctly and he rewrapped
them for me, lol.
But that doesn't explain the issue I have where quoted text in the
window for composing messages often is not wrapped and runs off the edge
of the window. Any idea what causes that? It makes it very hard to see
what I am replying to. This message seems to be just fine, I suppose
because the lines *are* wrapped. Looking at my post from April 16 at
5:24 PM I see my lines are *not* wrapped. I see in the source the =
char at the end of each line which I assume means a continuation.
Strange... This seems to not be wrapped in the composition window when
replying.

Any idea what causes that? > I some NNTP clients don't seem wrap outgoing lines, But I don't know which ones they are. Pan has the ability to display incoming messages as they were received or after wrapping them, which is quite useful. Wrapping is useful if long lines are received, but it can mess up lines which start with hyphens or asterisks because it thinks that means 'join to preceding line' rather than 'another item in the list'. Hitting 'w' toggles between wrap and no-wrap so either way the fix is instant. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

It is off topic and I just thought someone with Thunderbird experience might have a quick answer. This issue is not on reading messages, that always wraps lines so they are viewable. It is the quoted text in the reply that will not be wrapped if it is not broken in the received message. Very odd.... -- Rick

That occasionally happens with Thunderbird for me, too.

No, I don't.

Yes. But there is a useful menu command Edit->Rewrap which wraps the
quoted text.

The = at the end of each line means that the message was sent using
"quoted-printable" encoding, but has not been decoded correctly. This
might be a problem at your end, but more likely means that along the
line the descriptor which identified the encoding has been lost,
replaced or mangled.

That guy may be a nut, but he's *correct* about your lines. Your lines aren't wrapped correctly for Usenet. This is not a Google Group. Your lines should hard wrap with a newline, i.e., ASCII CR LF per spec., at 72 characters or so. Either your Usenet reader has a setting to do this, or you must manually hit return before 72 characters. I.e., on my browser, I had to enter newlines above or it would be one single line. In this thread, Usenet text wrapping for posts by "rickman" and by "David Brown" are incorrect.

Don't know about nutcase but his lines here seem quite correct to me. I checked a few messages at a glance and examined in detail one (I think it was his second one). His lines are well within 72 characters. The quoted lines are left alone; some of them are much longer than they should be but this has been the fault of *their* poster, not Ricks. If someone has the expectation people will edit the line length of everything they quote.... well, this is unrealistic to say the least. Dimiter

(Nor do yourrs, Dimiter.) I suspect that Thunderbird uses these spaces to identify wrapped paragraphs, which it can then re-wrap to the window width for display in Thunderbird (but not for posting). It could also be that there is a difference in the line ending characters, but it would surprise me if a Usenet client is fussy about the line endings it accepts.

USB2.0 ports are 5v +/- 5% so 4.75V to 5.25V between the pins on the connector. 4.95 is almost perfectly in the middle.

I was commenting on the facts that there is a quarter volt lost across the rPi and that the launchpad seems to reset when I type on the USB keyboard. Maybe it's not voltage related, but the quarter volt drop is unexpected and there are plenty of cases where even an older mouse, like the one I have, can't be powered through the rPi. -- Rick

I have lots of devices that work perfectly with a Pi as long as they are connected before the Pi (model B, 512M) is booted. Plugging them in once booted normally results in a crash.

I should really say that I am shocked, nay stunned to find that a £30 single board PC which can be battery powered that runs Linux and provides a metric shit-load of IO in addition to Ethernet and USB has a number of gotchas and issues. ;-)

You are confused. The only reason why the output voltage is in spec is because the input voltage is well above the nominal voltage required on the input. With another power module the output voltage would be outside of spec and even now, the output is not able to supply much current. Connect a device that draws more current and the voltage sags more. This is not so much about the USB spec as it is the design of the rPi which creates a lot of voltage drop on what should be very nearly a wire with nominal resistance. > I don't know about the hub and PHY on the Pi, but all the PHYs we > produce have the ability to disable VBUS on each port and can signal > over current conditions.

Battery powered is a bit tongue in cheek as this level device is on par with phones and tablets which can't be away from a power plug for hours rather than days.

and to make it worse, and fluctuations in the current drawn will
produce fluctuations in the voltage. Checking with an oscilloscope is
the only realistic way to see whether this is affecting the problem.

Rather you tried to tell me the voltage on the USB ports were "in spec" when that was not the issue being discussed. plonk yourself, lol -- Rick

Now I am a bit stuck trying to get a serial port terminal emulation running. It would appear that miniterm is the right program to use, but while dealing with the slowness of the rPi when web browsing I have yet to find it exactly. I thought I had found it at a site called Py Serial. But I think what I downloaded with some sort of python wrapper for miniterm. I'm not sure really. Even once I get a terminal emulator running, I'm not sure how to find the ID of the device I'll be talking to with it. It is a TI launchpad with a USB emulated UART. These things are like falling off a rock in the PC world... mainly because I've come up the learning curve and know it. Will miniterm have the smarts to find the one serial port on the machine or do I have to figure out the ID of this USB serial port and tell it? -- Rick

Do "ls /dev/tty*" and it should give you a list of possible devices where the port is. Do you use irc? You can probably get quicker help on the #raspberrypi Freenode channel.

That gives me a list of tty, tty0 through tty63, ttyAMA0 and ttyprintk. The list is the same if the device is plugged in or not. Of course, I don't know for sure what the board should do, but my understanding is one port is for use as a debugger and this port is for use as a UART interface to the target MCU. I had found a web page where they were developing on this target under Linux. I'll go back to that to look for info. But I think it was more debugger oriented. Trouble is most of these pages are from experienced users and they have long ago forgotten all the small stumbling blocks to getting started. > Do you use irc? You can probably get quicker help on the #raspberrypi > Freenode channel. I'm not familiar with irc. I think I tried it once a long time ago and didn't get much traction with it. I'm expecting there should be knowledgeable people in the rPi group. One of my problems is there really isn't room for the pi, the laptop and all the other misc stuff on my work table at the moment. Maybe I need to just work remotely from the laptop. That would solve my lack of a USB hub as well. I have to unplug the mouse to plug in the launchpad. -- Rick
