I’d like to buy a Raspberry Pi 5 as gift to my wife. She already has a RP 4, do I need to buy the entire Kit or just the processor? Thanks a lot 😊

So I downloaded the emulator and ROMs but when I open the game the game crashes than I open the game once again and the emulator crashes any fix?btw I’m on iPhone 12 iOS 17

My goal is to have a data server for my whole home, but also have a "sterile" computer (which doesn't touch the internet) have access to the same files. Is it possible to have the pi on a wireless internet network but also a wired network with my computer? If so, could someone provide guidance on how to accomplish this?

I am very much a beginner with the pi and Linux scares the crap out of me, so please ELI5

finally got it working with this link after so many google searches and different tutorials !!!!

just had to share in case anyone needs this

Does anyone know how products like the Aura Feame use Bluetooth to connect a device to WiFi through an app? I linked to the setup guide so you can see what I mean.

It seems like this is a great way to use RPis in products without the need for users to hook it up to a monitor and connect to wifi.

Are there any other methods for using a raspberry pi in a product and simplifying the process for a user to connect it to their wifi network?

Thank you!

I searched all over the net but nobody has tried this senario.

I want to connect my bluetooth mouse to pico w (via bluetooth) and then use the usb port to connect the pico to pc as a wired mouse.

Aim - I want pico to modify the mosue input and then forward it.

I want to know if this is possible with a raspberry pi pico w.

Also Quesition 2.

Can a raspberry pi pico act as a receiver (to receive the modifications to be made to the bluetooth mouse input) while also being connected to the pc as a mouse.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if any of you could help. I'm a complete novice but wanting to see if what I would like to do is even possible.

I would like to be able to install some decibel meters in numerous rooms that could send a notification to my phone if the level gets to high.

It is over a large area that has wifi in most places. I don't want the sound recorded but would want to know which reader set off the sound.

Is this possible? If so would I need 1 pi per sensor or could they all go via 1 pi?

If not pi, Amy other suggestions?

Thanks so much,

Oli

Hey guys,

I need an affordable 11 inch (or from 10.4 to 12 inch) LCD with touch for my raspbery pi project, any ideas?
I need it available somewhere in europe, not to spend much on delivery costs.

Hi! I'm currently working on a project for my Uni. We have to capture a PWM signal coming from the backlight of a display with a PIC16F152-series microcontroller using a CCP module and read this signal on a Raspberry Pi.

As I am relatively new to microcontrollers (I only got to write simple programs for MCUs), I have no idea where to start. Should I use SPI or IIC to connect my PIC to RPi and what could it look like? Should I use both of the CCP modules or would one suffice?

Thanks for your ideas!

I'm looking for a cheap solution for audio output/hardware for the Raspberry PI Zero 2W. Currently the RPI Zero 2W has an Mini HDMI, which should give sound. Is there perhaps a cheap way to get the sound out of the Mini HDMI to a Speaker? (I can't use a monitor since the RPI will be placed in a very small space in the fuse box)

I have an audio file that I want to play in infinite loop. I wonder how much iPhone 5s power takes if I keep it on the charger?

I've found out that it has the Li-Po 1560 mAh, non-removable (5.92 Wh). Audio playback: Up to 40 hours

So I assume: Watt Hours = 1560 mAh * 5.92 V / 1000 = 9.2352 Wh .

Average Power (W) = 5.92 Wh / 40 hours ≈ 0.148 W

​

Is this calculation correct?

So I am working on a project and would like to wire an old ps3 controller up to an old handheld console. I've looked online but can't find much except for wiring controllers to PC. Would it be possible to put one board in the controller and the other in the console and have them communicate button presses with one another? Any advice would be appreciated

Hi guys,

I currently have my raspberry pi 4 set up via OpenMediaVault in order to use the raspberry as a file storage server for Plex, and I would like to know if I could also, somehow, configure HomeAssistant.

I have a couple of webhooks created through IFTTT but unfortunately this week they become non-free so I have to find a workaround.

On the official HomeAssistant website they explain how to install it on a raspberry pi using a specific HomeAssistant OS, but I already have an operating system running with OpenMediaVault (Raspbian 11).

If you don't mind, could you tell me if it would be possible? and if so, how?

Thank you

I have a gooseneck intercom mic with a bunch of fun buttons that I've gutted and wired to just use the mic portion for audio recording. However, I'd love to make use of the buttons and I take a lot of Zoom calls.I thought it would be awesome to use the buttons to control various functionalities zoom meetings -- mute/unmute, video on/off, a push-to-talk button. Maybe an end meeting.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 model B from a while back that came as a gift when ordering components for another project. I have never used a Raspberry Pi before. I have used a Picaxe which I believe is nowhere near the complexity of a Raspberry Pi, but I kind of get how digital interfaces work (detect voltage through key press, do corresponding thing).

My first question is is it possible to use a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B to process 5 separate key inputs as well as digitize the mic input and send it all through USB?

If the mic bit is too much, can I keep that separate and just use the Pi 3 for sending keystrokes to Zoom? Feels like that might be overkill and something a Pico could do, but I've got a Pi 3 and might as well use it.

If one of those scenarios is possible, any tips or direction to similar projects outlining the code would be really appreciated! Thank you for your help!

Hi all

Solar only powered RP4 question

I want to run an extenral microphone ro RP4 (not wanting to use the zero as i want to be able to do all the features of the software and I need the computational ability) to automatically detect bird cals.

Not critical that this thing runs all the time We are in a very sunny part of the country

Was hoping to use this https://voltaicsystems.com/20-watt-5-volt-solar-power-system/

and an RP4 with an external usb mic

Woudl this work? The power brick has pass through charging.

Im looking at creating a travel wifi router and offline Plex server. Is it possible to run both these things off of a single pi 5 board with an extra usb wifi adapter added on?

I'm thinking pi 5 8gb ram in a m.2 case with ssd attached and an extra usb wifi dongle.

Connect the pi 5 on board wifi to whatever wifi signal I get, run pi hole, vpn etc. and have the external wifi adapter send out the hotspot to connect the pi to my devices, whilst also running a Plex server on the pi and having my media on the ssd.

Ive seen a few other builds but all seem to add an external travel wifi router for the wifi repeater.

I work at sea in remote areas so internet connection is infrequent and unreliable at best, so the Plex server should be able to work offline. Also using ethernet connection doesn't work on most ships I'm on due to wifi integration hence the wifi repeater.

Basically the same function as the device in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FhDrux0kCc but all built into one singular device.

Im hoping a pi 5 with 8gb of ram will be able to handle it.

Also Im wanting to use Plex as I plan on using this with my iOS devices and also to be able to share my Plex with whoever I wish.

Aiming to stream 1080p video content as well as my music library.

Any tips or advice welcome as this will be my first pi build.

So ive created script which runs a copy folder from one place to another. ive added #!/usr/bin/env python to the top of it, done chmod +x script.py ,also did sudo cp script.py /usr/local/bin/ . I added the rule ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", RUN+="script.py"

TO sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/iscript.rules and done sudo udevadm control --reload-rules and sudo udevadm trigger

However when i unplug and plug in my iphone it doesnt copy the folder to the destination, and i want it to run the script when any usb device is inserted so any phone basically

Hello everyone,

I needed to create a wifi router with my Raspberry PI 3B+, so I did a bit of research and stumbled upon NetworkChuck tutorial: https://youtu.be/jlHWnKVpygw

The thing is that my Raspberry, which is running under OpenWrt, doesn't seem to recognize my DLINK DWA-131 wifi adapter. I tried to look up a solution but i didn't find anything that could help.

How should I proceed?

I'm a Raspberry Pi virgin and I know (next to) nothing about Linux command lines etc. Where can I find a good, up to date, simple step by step tutorial (written or video) on installing Plex Server to a Raspberry Pi 4?

I found what looked like a good uTube video that I started watching then realized it was 3 years old and lots of comments were stating that it was out of date, using an old OS etc. And web searches turn up just more of the same.

Thanks
