Makers are invited to bring along their projects and project ideas, and come connect with other makers. Get your questions answered, show off the work you are doing, and get support to resolve nagging issues.
This #MagPiMonday, we’re revisiting CinePI, a brilliant open source project using #RaspberryPi as a high-end film camera. We first talked about it in 2021 and now an updated version features in the latest issue of The MagPi, so let’s see how far it has come.
Our newly refurbished store is OPEN for business as usual in Cambridge, UK.
Come by and say hi!
We have stock of all #RaspberryPi boards and microcontrollers. One per customer buying restrictions still apply to all our boards to dissuade scalping.
How come you don't subscribe to #RaspberryPi Weekly yet?
You're missing out on a round-up of product updates, amazing projects and exciting events near you from us and our community. I also bury a hilariously contemporaneous GIF at the bottom.
The Messier 106 galaxy (M106) and some of its neighbours in the Canes Venatici constellation shot over 1-1/2 nights on April 15 & 16.
M106 is approximately 22-25 Million light years from Earth and is part of the Canes II group of galaxies, which is part of the Local Supercluster. It is comparable in size and luminosity to the Andromeda galaxy, though ~10 times more distant, hence its smaller apparent size from Earth.
This image is composed from a stack of 90 x 300s sub-exposures (7h 30m total). Captured with an Askar FRA400 astrograph (400mm focal length, f/5.6) and a ZWO ASI183MC Pro RGB camera with an Optolong L-Enhance light pollution filter and using the Kstars/Ekos and PHD2 software (Astroberry image) on a Raspberry Pi 4. Stacking and processing with Pixinsight and Darktable.
Since I've just migrated from mastodon.lol, how about an #introduction here? I'm working as a reference #librarian and I'm also a systems librarian (I know both research and infotech).
I also tinker with #RP2040 gadgets; on my desk I have a small e-ink screen connected to a #RaspberryPi#PicoW that I've trained to show me whether the printer is low on toner or paper, what time it is, and current weather conditions.
First part of a new long term home project coming in. An #Ubiquiti PoE+ switch to power a small #Kubernetes cluster built using #raspberrypi nodes. Going to blog about every step once it has been completed. But it is going to be a few quarters long project doing bit by bit
Alright so with the latest #k3os and #raspberrypi firmware the #PoE+ fans are kicking in. The downside, they are audible when they ramp up to cool. Which happens every few 1 - 20 seconds pretty much. Need to tweak that they are pinning 10 RPM higher by default, I think
As I've moved over to this lovely Mastodon instance in the past week I thought I’d redo an #introduction post.
I’m Ben, I live near #oxford, and I work in #data#insight#marketresearch#cx roles. Loves music which is FUN, pretty much any kind of books, and late nineties sort of video games.
