what usb wifi dongle do you guys use?
any that is compatible out of the box with RPi 2 & Raspbian Wheezy?

do i must use the one built specifically for RPi because i read somewhere that the USB ports doesn't provide enough power for common dongle.
anyone can clarify this?

Have you activate lirc in Device Tree Overlay?

quick google brings me to:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/c.../device-tree.md

so basically i just uncomment this line in config.txt?
CODE

# Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module
#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

Yes, just get that line in the config.txt file.
Uncomment it if it's commented or write a new line if it's not there.

Thanks for your help, will try it later.

BTW, do you sell R-Pi Zero?

did the remote work now?

i also want to buy a remote for my XBMC RPi2 Box.

yes it works fine.
just make sure you use case that allows IR signal to get thouugh since the receiver is mounted inside the case

hi guys..
i just bought this HDD enclosure (link) & hook it up to my RPi3 via USB cable..

problem is when transferring files between HDD inside the enclosure (eg: from HDD in bay1 to HDD in bay2), the speed is really slow (~ 10MB/s).
is the RPi3 the bottleneck here?

Yes. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/h...i/usb/README.md
That is normal to have that. The USB ports are seperated from internal USB hub (Microchip USB+Ethernet chip), so all of them are shared on 480Mbps bus. It also could due to insufficient power output from the Pi. The proper way is to have a powered USB hub connect to both Pi and external HDD.  smile.gif

the enclosure has its own power supply, not drawing power from the RPi USB port

Great, was wondering how the HDD is powered up with the small current from Pi.  biggrin.gif

so what do you think causing the slow speed?

RPi is only supposed to be telling HDDs to transfer file to each other, the data doesnt actually goes into RPi right?

I do think Pi needs to buffer the data, so that could be the bottleneck hmm.gif

yeah that makes sense.
wonder if there's a way to speed up the transfer..
