In some aspects I am kinda n00b so please be patient.

I am building for and with my son a case for his 3d printer. We found a nice solution but I would like to add something on top: 2x120mm fans (the case has the mounts for them) and some lights (led strip?) and to control them: * Fans on/off (together) * Lights on/off (separate from the fans) * Bonus fans control (rotary knob?) * Bonus a temperature sensor + extrabonus a display for it

What would be the best approach here? Would raspberry pi be a good candidate for the brains of it or is something else more suitable.

The fans would be most probably case fans. Is out there anything that is more appropriate.

Thank you!

Available hw: Raspberry pi 3b (i think I could also spare a 4) Raspberry pi zero / zero 2 Raspberry pi pico Some Esp8266 Arduino Leonardo Temp sensor Some small displays

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

I'm trying to setup my pi zero 2 w with a camera module 3 as a simple usb webcam. For some reason I can't get it to work.

I've followed this tutorial: https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/plug-and-play-raspberry-pi-usb-webcam/

I'm doing everything exactly as they are. When I plug it the pizero (using the correct USB port), nothing ever happens. It doesn't get recognised as a camera.

I tried running the script manually, but I get this error:
pi@piz2-1:~ $ sudo ~/.rpi-uvc-gadget.sh
Failed to identify function configuration

I am clueless... I tried troubleshooting using chat-gpt as I'm not really a coder but have some python basics. Nothing really helped.

Hi everyone, i want to build myself a wall mounted touchscreen which runs Linux.

The Problem is i cannot find a good and thin touchscreen. Ive chosen to use a pi zero because of its small and thin formfactor, now i need a touchscreen display which can Connect to it.

Most Important to me is the formfactor, ideal it would be like this: -Very thin to be mounted Flush on the wall. -Connectors on the back to avoid having cables wrapping around the edges -Around 10" in size -If possible Power via the pi zero to have just one cable for Power.

Any recommendation is welcome, thanks in advance.

This could be a game changer. I've played around with RVC models before, and they work really well, but they only change one voice into another voice and don't do text-to-speech.
This describes a way to morph generic training datasets with RVC models, and then use the morphed training data to create piper text-to-speech models that will run on a raspberry pi.
So. Many. Possibilities.

Hello Reddit,

I created a tutorial on SSH into Raspberry Pi from external networks! By the end of the video, you will be able to control and program your Raspberry Pi from any WiFi network using SSH protocol!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guJR7-33N2k

This is a great tutorial for beginners or people who want to develop remote applications with their Pi. I think you can learn something quite useful. I think you can learn something quite useful.

I am trying to use an old TI-83 Plus with a raspberry pi zero 2. With this is want to implement a Small Language Model. something like Orca math to solve math equations to a grade 12 level. I really need help, I have been researching this project for a while and haven't been able to find much. I think this would be a fun project to attempt. If anyone could provide help, this would be great!!

I made a Minecraft server that hosts the game of Minecraft. The project logs into the server, announces to all players in game that a backup will occur, makes a backup of the game, and if you have a remote NAS, it will make a copy of the backup and place it in your remote NAS as well. This script works with a cronjob to be invoked. https://github.com/Loksta8/piautobackup-minecraft

Hello All!

The other day I saw that someone was complaining about not seeing more Raspberry Projects here in Redit so here I am posting my last one!

It is a night vision scope with object detection ☺️

Its basically running the available coral example and with a set of pushbuttons it allows to configure brightness, zoom and turn on and off a IR laser to see in the darkness.

So far, my frined and I manage to get good images in the forest about 2km deep into the darkness.

For more updates here is my instagram where I post other projects: https://www.instagram.com/tinkering.lab?igsh=MXh0bjlnZnp3ZWgwNw==

I am working already on v2 which will have extra ventilations since it gets hot.. Also It has extra laser set at different depths and others ..

Has anyone tried using the Raspberry Pi as a portable organizer?

I want to do this project that I thought would be quite simply (at least in theory), but I haven't actually found anyone else who has done this and shared. I am not at all technical so I would not be able to create it from scratch, I'd prefer an off-the-shelf solution or at the max, a ready-to-assemble kit (and I cannot solder, so no soldering kits).

My thinking for this comes along these lines: a Pi 4 is nowadays quite cheap, its very small and light, and so unlike a laptop, it is something you can bring easily with you and use it to keep notes, an address/phone book, a todo list etc... It would need a monitor/screen and some kind of input, maybe a stylus and touchscreen? And the font size would have to be large enough to be legible and still fit in your pocket, but I think this can be done. The question is, has it already been done? There are a few "laptop" kits for the Pi on Amazon but those are all too big for a pocket, and I saw some mini-laptop devices as well (they are like a laptop only smaller, and some of them don't have lids). However, nothing truly portable that you can take on the go. It would be even better if it could translate between languages like the portable translators you see on Amazon, but I suppose that would be asking too much since a portable translator on its own costs several times what a Pi 4 does (esp. if it recognizes handwriting, speech, and camera).

You can see that I hestitate to include games, I find that anytime that comes it, it throws everything out of whack because the requirements just change dramatically.

Just curious (and interested)!

Hello all, I have a keypad from a lighting console I want to use it has 62 keys going to a 14 pin IDC connector, how do I figure out what pins do what and where to connect it on a Pi Pico to make a custom key pad?

Hello,

I am a beginner in using a Pi and would like to host a webserver on it using Github to store my code so that I gain experience with both.

Is there a good recent/relevant tutorial for me to follow for the set up of how to connect the GitHub to the Pi and set up the web server on the Pi?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Beginner to electronics, but I have Python experience. I'm working on a project, and I ultimately want to have two RP2040 based boards (feather rp2040 and kb2040 in this case, just what I had) communicate over UART, but I'm having some confusing issues.

To simplify, I've connected the feather's TX and RX pins to each other on a breadboard (eliminating the other board for now). (I did also try just using 1 wire to bridge TX and RX instead; same problem). This is the code I'm using in CircuitPython:

import board import busio uart = busio.UART(board.TX, board.RX, baudrate=9600,timeout=4) data=bytes('hello world', 'ascii') while True: uart.write(data) print(uart.read(len(data))) 

This does not work, and after the 4s timeout None is printed. (Except for the first iteration, which prints b'\\x00').

My first thought was maybe there's a connection issue, but I confirmed with a multimeter that the RX and TX pins have continuity (so it's not like the breadboard is just broken).

The even weirder part is if I eliminate the breadboard, and just hold wires in place connecting TX and RX, it works! So... what am I missing here? Why does it only not work on the breadboard? I feel like an idiot haha, this seems like such a simple setup.

Is the added resistance from the breadboard causing a problem here, or something else? These wires measure around 0.2ohms, and a path between 2 wires going through the breadboard measured around 0.4ohms.

Hey so I have a project in mind of connecting a esp32 to some lights and a button that can be pressed and id receive a notification to my server that in turn, turns on a light.

The idea is that I give the first esp32 to my girlfriend (long distance) and when she wants attention she pushes the button and it lights up am led on my desk(I really check my phone at my desk)

If anyone has any resources to do this id be very grateful.

I finally completed my project and I'm extremely happy, one problem is that each time i boot the pi i need to plug in a keyboard to run the program i made. How do I make it run on startup? I use this code to run it "sudo python3 Desktop/Sell_gui_vPI.py"

We’re creating a guest check-in system at work using Power Automate, Power Apps, and SharePoint. Thinking of using an LED sign to display the guest’s name/number.

I’ve seen some examples on YouTube where people use a version of Python specifically for adding custom text, but can this be used in a way where a text file can be created (dynamically), and then dropped in a file to have the text change on demand?

I am not sure if this is possible, or if there are better options out there? Curious, if anyone has something similar working for them?

Hi all.

I’m working on a project to build an independent camera system based on an old CCD 1080p GigE camera module, a Pi5 and a battery. The camera is a Basler Aviator that I’ve been testing on a windows computer and it’s working great, but yesterday I tried connecting it to the Pi and even though the Basler software works and the camera delivers around 26fps (enough for me), the whole system slows down a lot when I’m showing the live feed. The mouse stutters, there’s at least a 0.5 sec delay in the video and the moment I try to do something else, the camera starts skipping frames and showing black areas in the feed.

It’s just a 1080p feed and it’s not even 60fps. The Pi should be able to handle it without much trouble. I tried setting the MTU to 9000 and it’s even worse. What can I do about it?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Ok, turns out I was activating the jumbo frames but the camera was still sending the small packets. Once I set it to 9000 on the camera as well, everything improved. Here's what I've done so far:

sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000

sudo ethtool -G eth0 rx 4096 tx 4096

And I'm supposed to do this as well:

sudo ethtool -C ethX adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 62 tx-usecs 62

But the PI gives me an error.

With the two first lines I get consistent 24fps without dropped frames (maybe one or two every few minutes) and the lag showing the video feed on screen is slightly better, but still present. Also, when I move the mouse on top of the video window, framerate goes down to 3-4fps.

Anything else I can do?

Thanks again!

EDIT 2:

I managed to get consistent 24fps with almost no lag at all. In fact, my iphone camera has more lag than my current setup. I just needed to bypass the part of the code where I converted the grabbed image to an OpenCV format. Using the stream straight from the camera really sped things up. Now I'm struggling again because I can either show the stream at full speed and full screen or save the images to disk, but not both at the same time. If I try to do it, the fps counter goes down hard. I'm currently trying to build a multithread approach. One thread for the visuals and the other for saving, but it's giving me timer/sync issues. It says the timer can't be stopped from another thread. Any ideas?

THANKS!

EDIT 3:

I managed to find a middle ground by adding all images to a buffer while shooting, then saving each one after I'm done. It's not a very elegant solution and I'd like to find a way to start saving asynchronously before I cut, but at least right now the camera is working as it should.
