Found this article on the web with a preliminary review. Looking forward to hear all about it with an official annoucement.

In the meantime, I have a few questions after reading that article,

Is the cooling fan temperature controlled?
Is it a standard full size HDMI port on the side?
What is that blocked off USB-A 2.0 being used for?
How does the camera being connected?
Does the PCI-e connector on the Pi5 being used?
How is the on-board 4.3" LCD Touch Display connected? Via HDMI or DSI?
Will the 18650 Lithium-ion batteries charged when the CrowPi 3 is powered with a power supply?
If the batteries can be charged, is there a Charge indicator?
Is there any Battery Power Status indicator?
Which Raspberry Pi models are compatible?

Hope to hear answers on the above questions from Elecrow!!

Where can I find the downloads for Crowpi? specifically crowpi-image-RPI-4B-version.zip. We purchased a Crowpi last year and my daughter is now interested in setting it up and this is the version that the instructions are guiding us to use. Or is there an alternative that is better? Thanks so much.

CrowPanel CM-4 7" display - driver to expansions modules

danilo — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 10:11:28 +0000

I bought a CrowPanel CM-4 7" display from Elecrow. I ordered the two options G4 and Lora (WiFi) at the same time because I might need them later.
Now I have to realize that if you order these options, certain interfaces such as RS485 are no longer possible. It's a shame that there is no indication when ordering that if you choose an option, certain interfaces will no longer be available. It would be nice if this could be added on your website.

Now I need to know which drivers I have to uninstall so that I can have the interfaces I need (2xRS485) available again. I'm still a beginner with Raspberry Pi. I'm not using G4 or Lora at the moment.

Thank you very much.

CrowPi blinks continuously when plugged in. Does not power up.

When I plug in the power to the board, the LEDs flash continuously and never boots,. It looks like it is trying to start but fails and so on in a loop.

How to flash the image to the SD card?

Step1: Insert the SD card into your computer. Use sd formatter to format your SD card.

Step2: Use the image burning tool to burn the image file to your SD card.

For the image burning tool, you can choose balenaEtcher, Win32DiskImager or Raspberry Pi Imager.
Take Raspberry Pi Imager as an example, select use custom in os, select the image file you just downloaded, and then select your SD card. Click next and confirm.

Step3: After the image is burned to the SD card, insert the SD card to Raspberry Pi5 and turn on CrowPi. You will see there's a folder name "CrowPi" on the Desktop.

Step4: Run cd Desktop/CrowPi/Examples to enter the course folder , and then run sudo python buzzer.py (or other programs) to run the course code.
