Hi guys, just got my atomic yesterday (with some damage, CN5 was pretty smashed) so i powered it up today after repairing the damage.
I have few questions:
You don't need shields, wifi and bluetooth are built in
I don't think that's what he means. I suspect he's having interference issues, so he wants to install RF shields for the board. Dejan, I can't think of any purpose built RF shields that'll fit, there's really not a lot of parts and accessories made for this thing. We have a considerable amount of Wifi and Bluetooth traffic around my house, and my Atomic Pi has never had issues, even though it's in the living room with about 7 other internet devices/computers.
As far as assembly drawing, do you mean a schematic? Or do you mean a general diagram of what things on the board do? I do have a nice diagram that even maps the GPIO pins(which I haven't managed to figure out), along with everything else mapped.
Also, when you mention changing your name
, do you mean your username?
Correct, I was thinking for interference and also to protect BT chip which has exposed die.
Yup, i meant changing username.
I meant assembly drawing as in PDF which shows physical location (on board) of components in schematic
To change your username, go to the bottom of the page and click Manage Preferences
. There, you can change your displayed nickname.
On the RF shields, again, I don't think there's any options sadly. I use the ethernet instead anyways.
Someone on the forum has posted the pinouts and connector locations of the board, and I have verified it myself, it's very accurate, and very nicely done: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DtdtEclEVSdrxrYz576VYOhVtDORP0Dd/view?usp=sharing
Hope this helps!
oh. neat drawing thanks
By the way Dejan- are you looking for RF shields because it's having interference issues, or are you just taking precautions?

As a precaution and protection, since BT chip has die exposed which makes it fragile (especially until i design and print the case)
Ahhh ok so you're more worried about physical damage, got it. Yeah for that you're just gonna have to design a case yourself, I just leave my APi exposed on the back of my desk in a little Lego pedestal/exoskeleton with an undervolted PC fan on top 24/7. Obviously your placement will be different, but the only real way to physically protect the board is to make a case.
Powered up my Pi for the first time yesterday. Could not get my wireless keyboard and mouse to work, and had to switch to wired (USB). Is there a UEFI BIOS setting to fix this?
Also changed the Lubuntu login password - to personal preference, no problem. And set a root password, again no problem.
Another thing: I tried booting (Knoppix) on SD card without success, and will have to find out why.
