Maybe the dex.local is a waste of time since it’s not Dexter’s NOOBS card? No luck logging onto the Pi.Īs I said, I’m a complete newbie. I found it and tried to log onto the Pi with it’s address (192.168.1.13) and also with dex.local. So, in the meantime, I ordered an 8gb card from Amazon with NOOBS on it, plugged it into the Pi, hooked the Pi up to the router and power, and used Fing to find it on the network.

Maybe they’d send me another card loaded with the Dexter software (after testing it in-house). I am assuming that he works for/at Dexter. I tend to agree with Andy (that it’s a bug) and I’m kind of hoping that JohnC will jump back in (maybe after the Holidays) with a solution. It’s just that when I type an underscore while in VNC or Terminal, nothing happens and the cursor does not move ahead (such as with a Space Bar). And, don’t forget, my Underscore key ( -) works fine in Microsoft Word, Notepad, Firefox, etc. I couldn’t find anything that looked worth trying. I had to hunt around to find it but, while there, I looked to see if there were any other US English keyboard choices that might be worth a try.

Mike… you just have to try slowly since you are using vnc as there is a slight pause between your pc and raspi. It did work for me but rebooting and trying again but after trying again if did not let me change it. It can be changed but it’s hit or miss on the clicking on it. Good catch Mike but am sure that’s not what you wanted to hear. Can’t believe no one else has caught this.

I have to tell you this is a pain and needs to be addressed in a future update of Dex for robots. after clicking and right clicking on it a number of times and pausing I noticed in the upper right the cpu usage was 100% so I waited and it finally opened and let me change the region to the US. Going back to the gui version I tried localization again with a fresh copy of dex and after Dexter_Software_update it wouldn’t let me change keyboard. I did manage through “sudo raspi-config” and it also gave me a hard time but after trying over and over I managed to change the keyboard. I used a new copy of Dex for robots and I also can not get into parts of localisation (Spelling).

Connectivity is via WiFi and I have typed 192.168.1.14 into the browser to get to the Dexter Ind. JohnC: I am typing on the keyboard attached to the desktop PC, into a Terminal window (in Firefox). Also, no spare monitors or keyboards are available right now. I was hoping to follow the instructions that came with the kit from Dexter but I will consider your suggestion if I can’t find an easier way. I did a Search in the Forums for the word “underscore” and didn’t find anything that sounded like this problem.ĭoes anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance! The key works properly here_ _ but doesn’t populate the character into the Terminal window.īy the way, I have no programming knowledge and it’s been years since I did anything with MSDOS but some of this looks familiar, such as CD to Change Directory. To type an Underscore, I’m holding down the Shift key and clicking the Hyphen/Underscore key.

The other is a Surface Pro 3 with the Surface Type Cover. The first computer is an HP desktop with an HP keyboard. I tried this using a second computer and have the same problem. Alpha characters work fine, the hyphen works fine, just not the Underscore. I followed the directions to change the directory then tried to type in the command: sudo python grove_firmware_version_check.py When I type the ‘underscore’ character, nothing happens in the Terminal screen. Item 7 has me trying to check the firmware version. Using the instructions on webpage, I managed to get down to the middle of Test The Grove Pi. I can easily get to the ‘welcome’ page (Raspbian for Robots) that offers the choices of VNC or Terminal. Just received and unboxed the GrovePi and followed the directions to get it connected to the network. Hi all, my name is Mike and I’m a complete Newbie to Raspberry Pi.
