6. الصيانة

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your CrowPi 5 kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• تنظيف: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the case and the screen. For stubborn smudges on the screen, use a screen-specific cleaner applied to the cloth, not directly to the screen.
• تخزين: When not in use, close the CrowPi case to protect the internal components from dust and physical damage. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• تحديثات البرامج: Regularly update the Raspberry Pi OS and any installed software to ensure you have the latest features, security patches, and bug fixes. This can typically be done via the terminal using commands like sudo apt update و sudo apt upgrade.
• العناية ببطاقة SD: Always shut down the Raspberry Pi properly before removing the Micro SD card to prevent data corruption.
• مزود الطاقة: Use only the provided power adapter or a compatible power supply that meets the Raspberry Pi 5's power requirements (5V, 5A via USB-C PD). An insufficient power supply can lead to instability.

7. استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها

If you encounter issues with your CrowPi 5 kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• لا توجد مشاكل في العرض/التمهيد:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and providing sufficient power.
  • Verify the Micro SD card is properly inserted and contains a valid operating system image.
  • Try re-seating the Raspberry Pi 5 board within its connectors if it appears loose.
• الأجهزة الطرفية لا تستجيب (لوحة المفاتيح/الماوس):
  • Check if the USB dongle for the wireless keyboard and mouse is firmly plugged into a USB port.
  • Ensure the keyboard and mouse have fresh batteries (if applicable).
  • حاول توصيل الجهاز بمنفذ USB مختلف.
• عطل في جهاز الاستشعار:
  • Verify that your code for the sensor is correct and matches the sensor's requirements.
  • Ensure all connections to the sensor are secure.
  • Consult the CrowPi lesson materials for specific sensor troubleshooting.
• System Instability/Freezing:
  • Ensure adequate cooling. The Raspberry Pi 5 can generate heat, especially under heavy load. The included heatsink kit should be installed.
  • Check for sufficient power supply. An underpowered Pi can lead to erratic behavior.
  • Close unnecessary applications to free up RAM.
