Brother PE900 USB Thumbdrive Format

Submitted by co60ca on Sat, 07/06/2024 - 19:50

I wanted to share something to the larger community for someone who is good at low level computer stuff and also interested in machine embroidery.

The Brother series of machine embroidery machines can accept, according to brother, FAT32 USB Drive formats, that may be true. However if you have a bunch of USB drives around that you've formatted before you may notice it doesn't work in your machine and gives you a "The USB media cannot be used" error. It may also be possible to use exFAT but try to use FAT before hand.

Raspberry Pi: Connecting to WiFi at University of Guelph

Basics

This post provides very simple instructions for connecting to the uog-wifi-secure network at University of Guelph (specifically proven working in 2018). These instructions can likely be adapted to any WPA-enterprise network utilizing EAP-PEAP (MSCHAPv2) and any device using wpa_supplicant. From raspbian you can edit two files, /etc/network/interfaces (to enable our interfaces, i.e. turn them on) and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (for entering the required parameters).
