qr code

Some of us access directly the Raspberry Pi inside. If you unscrew at the bottom the circular protection case above it (the part with the on/off button on it), you can easily connect a screen, a keyboard, a mouse and even an ethernet cable. You'll notice that Q.Bo runs on a standard Raspbian OS which is fairly easy to configure (many howto's can be found on the internet). I know it sounds scary but if you are cautious it will open a realm of things you can do with Q.Bo.

Hi,

I had the same issue with my Android 10 phone. The problem is, that Android 10 adds 'H:false' into the WLAN String, but the RTQR reader thinks this is part of the password.

I have created a patch, that solved this for me:

blip = "aplay /home/pi/Documents/blip2.wav"
result = subprocess.call(blip, shell = True)

Hope this helps.

cheers,

I tried minutes ago with my iphone and i didn´t have any problem. As Philipp said is an Android problem.
