Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Latest W10 forced update....

Yeah W10's forced updates piss me off too... EVERY time they have one of their forced major quarterly or yearly updates it invariably resets all my audio settings which causes iRacing to suddenly not have sound or it's putting the sound out to the wrong device and I have to re-establish all my settings back up.

At least Apple gives you the choice if you want to install the yearly OS update or stay on the old one and just do the quarterly updates (and you can even not do those if you don't want to...)

Leave it to MS to make something as simple as system updates a nightmare...

Anyway, so long as I can build working picromite code (for an older RPi OS) I've a chance.  I suppose I need to know which OS version on which RPi model should work as a baseline.

I have no idea how it would apply to Picromite ,
but for my purposes , RPi 3 B + with Stretch is
optimum . Pi 4 with attendant Buster was a setback .

I've only tried 1 version but I recorded all the version details here: https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=12290&PID=149272#149272

The latest picromite when I installed it needed a Buster OS, so that's what I used.

I used a Raspberry Pi 3B, with Buster Lite dated 2020-05-27 (I wouldn't necessarily recommend Buster Lite, as it didn't auto-mount USB drives and was a bit of a pain to use).

It is here: http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_armhf/images/raspios_lite_armhf-2020-05-28/ (the folder name date is different from the file name date)

The equivalent non-lite version is here: http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_armhf/images/raspios_armhf-2020-05-28/

I used these pigpio files: libpigpio1_1.68-3+rpi1_armhf.deb pigpio-tools_1.68-3+rpi1_armhf.deb pigpiod_1.68-3+rpi1_armhf.deb
which I downloaded from https://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/p/pigpio/

(I don't think I needed all 3)

And I used the picromite mmbasic version 5.05.04 from here: https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?FID=16&TID=11678

There are various working version of Pi-cromite posted. My problem is that I can't can't find a combination of bits to build a new version that works - hence unmaintainable - hence give up
