r/ClockworkPi

A nice MeshCore client I’m working on. It’s not out yet, but it’s getting there. Win/MacOS/Linux. Compatible with serial, BLE, and TCP companions. It’ll be free and open-source.

uConsole has AIO v1 and PicoCalc has Luckfox Lyra running Calculinux + Xaio nRF+sx1262 combo + USB wifi dongle, all internal. On uConsole, AIO doesn’t run firmware (it can’t), so I’m running it on software with a SPI to TCP bridge.

I have been helping fix some boards that were mismanufactured. These were the very last two. Simple 10k to 4.3k resistor swap. Just on a teeny tiny component.

Banana for scale. 😂😁✨

Anyone run into these and have a fix?

1. I can’t fully power down (via power button) the device without removing the batteries. After holding the power button, the led goes dim and the screen just goes blank. I can’t even turn it back on without removing the batteries first. The only way I can fully power off is via the OS.

2. My cursor works but not very responsive - upgrade recommendations?

3. Using Rex’s Trixie image, but no wireless is detected unless I use a usb adapter. - CM4 doesn’t support the main board’s wireless but the CM5 (WiFi version only) does

4. It won’t detect my SD Card as a storage device. - Looks like the eMMC versions are unable to use the SD Card slot at all.

I’m selling this bad boy because I have two now this one finally came in so I’m selling it with other stuff to go with it! Selling in United States only inbox for questions!

I am selling my uconsole with a cm5 16gb and a 128gb sd card. There are 2 xtar 3500mah batteries included. Only shipping in the Netherlands and via marktplaats. I don’t want to mess with international shipping. Will post the advertisement soon. Will share a link.

So I finally received my Uconsole but the screen isn’t working.

I’ve made sure the ribbon cable is seated and secured properly.

I’ve tried the Uconsole images and the AK-Rex images but no luck.

Should the screen work right when powered on or does it take the OS time to detect? Idk

Any suggestions?

Edit #2: Here is what I get when connected to a monitor https://i.imgur.com/zspfI6y.jpeg

I've been all over the Internet, installed and removed SDR++ multiple times. Tried SDR++ and SDR++ Brown. Finally getting a waveform but no sound. I see an error saying it couldn't load librtaudio.so.6 whenever I run it from the console. I'm using Rex's ported Trixie image and followed the instructions on the HackerGadgets website. Any ideas?

So still working on getting the screen working, but I noticed that when I power off, the power led stays dimly lit, I woke up this morning and the battery was dead.

Anyone else have this issue?

Edit: Seems to charge normally but I get no light indicating that it is charging

I have the uConsole NC-D using a RPi CM5.

I have made sure all the connections are seated properly and secured

Edit: I was able to connect to a monitor and see that holding the power button only dims the light it doesn’t power it off

Steam ARM64 working on a ClockworkPi uConsole with CM5: guide, scripts, and tested games

Hi! I've been testing Valve's experimental native Steam client for ARM64 on a ClockworkPi uConsole, and I finally managed to get it installed and run Moonlighter using Proton ARM64.

My setup:

- ClockworkPi uConsole

- Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5

- 16 GB RAM

- Debian ARM64

- Mesa / V3D

- Hyprland with XWayland

- Steam ARM64 public beta client

- Proton 11.0 ARM64

- Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 ARM64

I documented the full process here:

https://github.com/AleReb/uconsole-game-compat

The guide includes:

- Direct installation of the native Steam ARM64 client.

- Scripts to download the Steam client and runtime published by Valve.

- Registering Proton 11 ARM64 inside Steam.

- A workaround for the problematic "require_tool_appid 4185400" requirement.

- Configuring Steam to run through XWayland.

- Moonlighter-specific launch options.

- Troubleshooting the Steam update process.

- A list of tested games and their current compatibility status.

Moonlighter is working using WineD3D with the following launch options:

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330 %command% -force-glcore33 -force-clamped -screen-fullscreen 0 -screen-width 960 -screen-height 540

I also confirmed that games can be launched from a Steam library stored on an external USB drive.

Task Bar Hero is not working yet. It currently fails during graphics initialization under Proton ARM64, so I wouldn't recommend updating it or using it as a compatibility example for now.

The ARM64 Steam client is still experimental, and this is not an officially supported Debian or uConsole setup. The goal of the repository is to collect reproducible procedures so other ARM64 device users can test them and contribute their own results.

Main sources:

- Steam ARM64 public beta:

https://client-update.fastly.steamstatic.com/steam\_client\_publicbeta\_linuxarm64

- Proton 11 ARM64:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4628740/Proton\_110\_ARM64/

- Community research:

https://interfacinglinux.com/community/sbcsoftware/native-steam-client-for-arm-linux/paged/2/

If anyone else is testing Steam ARM64 on a Raspberry Pi, uConsole, or another ARM64 device, I'd be very interested in comparing results and expanding the compatibility list.

As I got several bluetooth speakers at home, I need to switch between them from time to time.

QMK 2.0 has improved the trackball usuabilty quite a lot but it is still not a joyful experience. Clicking the bluetooth icon to do so is a lot painful to me.

To make my life easier, I use a bash script to do the followings:-

• detect if bluetooth service has started. if not, start it.
• provide a list of paired audio device
• connect to the selected audio device

By making use of desktop profile together with fuzzel, I can quick launch that script with pre-define shortcut key.
