First you read the power management flag using : cat /sys/module/8192cu/parameters/rtw_power_mgnt This will report a value of “1”. To set it to zero you can use : sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf and add the following line : options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0 To quit from nano use [CTRL-X], [Y] then [ENTER]. You are now ready to reboot using : cat /sys/module/8192cu/parameters/rtw_power_mgnt sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tightvncserver sudo raspi-config enable ssh cd dev/piface-python-websocket-server/ sudo apt-get install tightvncserver vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x800 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565: tightvncserver adafruit usb-com device Red -> Pin 2 (+5V) Black -> Pin 6 (GND) White -> Pin 8 (TXD) Green -> Pin 10 (RXD)
