I'm just now backing up #HomeAssistant and running the updates in preparation for moving its host #RPi 4B power source.
It feels like one of those sliding puzzle things where I'm doing this so I can then move an old laptop now running w/ #PuppyLinux, so I can then re-install my older RPi 1B which now boots from an old #NAS harddrive, so I can re-install #Mosquitto, so I can get my #MQTT msgs propagating again, so I can see #Mastodon toots of door open/close events.
But what about those #MS_Windows users out there? How about a gzipped tarball, all nicely packaged up so you can distribute around, of a custom built #PuTTY client that will securely connect people to your #Synchronet_BBS over telnet?
Briefly back onto the Farnsworths. Finished both cases, but one of the displays died, and the replacement sent was wrong. So waiting (again) to get the second one running.
Moved the Strowger script and the test card script onto an Internet facing server. Currently, I can only try the test card and remote loop back.
Finally I managed to get my 8BitDo SNES controllers to work with my #RetroPie. That was weirdly hard, because on #RPi 3 this just worked. But now I am using my granny RPi 1 with a bluetooth dongle and shit hit the fan.
Anyhow, I could finally play some old Smurfs game with my kid. He just jumped around with a Smurf all the time, so we didn't get far. But that totally rocked.
Fun fact: you can make your PiKVM multiport by just hooking it up to a cheap four ports HDMI kvm and hooking up the control serial port to the rpi hub, and setting up macros in kvmd to make it switch ports from the Web UI.
it's everything I ever wanted and the Redfish BCMs in my SuperMicro stuff are starting to feel primitive and clumsy in comparison.
I am still trying to set up a Pi-hole for me. One option is obviously a RPI, but for a simple DNS resolve the 4B is way too overpowered and therefore overpriced imo.
I already found the NanoPi NEO3-LTS and NanoPi R2C Plus very fitting, although I don't like the limited or just nonexistent software support.
Any recommendations for a small, cheap, power efficient SBC with at least Gigabit Ethernet, a SD-Card slot and USB-C for power?
Right #RPi (broadcaster) reads input audio, writes it to speakers, and broadcasts over Wi-Fi. Left RPi (receiver) receives audio from Wi-Fi, listens on the mic, and plays received (higher-quality) audio in-sync with what it hears on mic.
In this setup, laptop runs #signalestimator that writes probe impulses to broadcaster input and reads outputs of broadcaster and receiver to measure sync error.
More great news on the #rPi front - remote access for #SOHO and Home based networks as simple as a single apt install command!
Give it a try today and let us all know what you think! I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and experiences with this invaluable remote access tool.
Last night I had the picam running for a good few hours, and I have some results! First up, here's a stacked version of the shots from last night. So busy!
Do you have any interesting housing suggestions for RPI? I'm looking for inspiration, basically a relatively low-cost solution that would allow me to keep an SSD and an RPI drive in one compact housing.
Possibility to place two SSD drives + a large fan :)
I kinda wanna make an e-paper wall device. Something low power and have it update every so often with information. I have seen a few projects in passing like calendars and such.
I have a few RPi3's in a drawer so that isn't an issue. Finding the right display would be nice. Maybe one with Black and red, but Black and grey should be fine enough.
I have rooted old Kindle3 keyboard models in the past for a different project. That was a lot of fun to make it display QR codes on a schedule.
I also need to think what I would display. A calendar and/or weather with line art I think would be the most classy. #rpi#raspberrypi#linux#homeautomation
Ok, let's see if I can make this screen work. Bought it from AliExpress and there seems to be many versions with slightly different protocols.
The first thing I found out was that it won't probably work with the SmartLED shield I bought and the Teensy 4
Maybe a RPi or an FPGA will be better to start #electronics#fpga#teensy#rpi
Resurrecting my old RaspberryPi 1B board seems to be successful. I've mounted it on a basement wall along with a similarly ancient USB cam, and hope to use it as a combo MQTT broker/logging-server and 3Dprinter monitor cam.
