Hdmi port is not accessible easily so can't try that, I did try to access console with Putty, and that worked ✅ . But since i'm kinda of a beginer with RPI's idk what to do even to fix this Issue.
It first occurred today after running the PI continuously for ~4 days. On boot it is running my python script that makes all the compounents work, and there is python script reset every 48h.
Before today there were no issues connecting to it with RealVNC
There is an option in the settings to hide the desktop background. You should switch this on, displaying the background often leads to problems and consumes performance.
do you know any tutorials you can link me to please?
Just go to the Real VNC settings and also to "ScalingQuality" and set it to 1.
0 to use standard quality.
1 to use low quality (the desktop is rendered faster).
2 for medium quality.
3 to use high quality (note that this can be CPU intensive).
tried the low quality, still freezes
Which Pi is this?
Raspberry PI 3B+ , thought i mentioned it but no, sorry
it also says 2017 on it but doubt that matters
bought it couple years ago
I should also say, what ever i do i cant get rid of low voltage warning, but not sure if thats related, and it hasnt bothered me that much
Ive tried:
- diffrent wires (diffrent lenghs)
- Originally used a samsung fast changer (2A 5V) but later upgraded to a 3.3A 5V powersupply
Perhaps you should try an original power supply unit if the warning does not disappear.
What material is the case the Pi is in made of?
Petg for the screw in parts and pla for top part
There's also a isolation layer between the lcd and the rpi
All wires are isolated tho some might be touching the rpi itself with isolation, unsure if rpi heat would melt the isolation for wires.
So no metal that could block the WLAN. Then I would really use the original power supply unit. I think the insufficient power supply can be the problem that the system is not running properly.
WLAN/ wifi is def not the problem, the program i use fetches data from internet
If you want i can try a internet cable with it but really, I don't see the point
Still unsure why it suddenly stopped working
You should connect the Pi to a monitor and look at it directly. Perhaps also check the VNC settings there.
Hmm monitor requires me to disasemble everything
VNC settings can't be it because it was working with no problems couple days before
Well, if you want to know what's going on, you'll have no choice.
Are you sure that nothing has been changed? Have you made any updates? Updates can also cause things to stop working as before.
last thing i changed was making it restart python script every 2 days at 00:00
Then maybe this restart or the script is causing the problem?
Have you tried it without?
If not try that, if it has no problems with vcn then it is the script or the restart of the script...
so uhh, it started working today
i didnt change anything
If I were you, I would look through the logs now.
you got a tutorial?
Open terminal
cd /var/logs
lsand see what logs there are
less FILENAMEPress q to close But I can't tell you what to look for. You just have to look at the logs and look for anomalies.
