Definitely not my intention, but i probably have a bad way of communicating that. So ... i'll see myself out.

Hey Pi thread, I have a friend who has been asking about a personal weather station, so I want to buy him a what he needs for his birthday. The kits look much pricier than the parts alone, does anyone have any recommendations? I saw the Sense hat which looks like it does temperature and humidity, but a lot of reviews said that the heat from the pi caused it to not work right, so I'm thinking I'll go with the not hat version. This is what I was going to base my purchases off of. I'm an idiot who knows nothing about raspberry pi, so I was hoping I could get some advice, or at least some eyes to tell me if this stuff looks good. Cheers.

Decided to do my own BOINC tutorial. Hopefully not poo poo and quite clear for those who just want to jump in. I got annoyed at other tutorials that were a bit complex and I like writing so I gave it a go. https://pentler.blogspot.co.uk/2018/05/boinc-on-rpi-quick-guide-and-some-tips.html Also you can run this on free cloud tiers...

Does anyone have advice for outputting a raspberry pi to component or SCART/RGB? I've found a couple things like: http://www.retrotink.com/#Products and all of this stuff http://retrorgb.com/rpi240p.html Does anyone else here do this or would there be a better place to ask? This is the only RPi thread I could find.

Bleh Maestro posted:Does anyone have advice for outputting a raspberry pi to component or SCART/RGB? Do you care about special low-res modes for accurate emulation of old systems on an actual CRT, or are you just looking to hook one up to an older TV/projector/AV system that doesn't support HDMI? The stuff you linked is aimed at those doing the former. If the latter, any generic HDMI to component/SCART converter should do the trick. Obviously be aware that you won't get 1080p that way but all standard TV resolutions up to 1080i should be doable.

Hey guys, just wanted to post more updates on my homemade dash for the Teslonda. So we love the whole feel of the space ship vibe with all the switches and what not so we decided to go TWO displays; one being the primary dashboard and the other will be eye-candy / configuration / logging / GPS. Dash 1.0 had a 80s arcade style motif, so I wanted to keep a bit of that while adopting an overly complicated, "NES Space Sim meets knight rider" kind of look. Complete with my dumb avatar's talking mouth telling the driver that his voltage sag reached critical levels or that the stator is about to melt from under the car. Dash 2.0 demo Quick test before we install it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpKafCbIVkM (more here on the Jimmy.Built's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BjxbvKeA3ZP/?taken-by=jimmy.built) Parts role call: Two raspberry pis, networked to each other. Optional (manual) wifi to communicate to the outside world. Petroblock's Powerblock for both of them, operating off of a relay board, operated off of switch. Two 10.1" touchscreen displays from Amazon (these things are pretty drat amazing so far). A PiCAN2 CANBUS shield lots of relays, wires, usb breakouts lol and one big rear end Buck converter (12v-5v) with 4 separate 3amp usb outlets. This is so much drat fun. GPS module coming soon. I just keep running out of free time to do this.

Raspberry Pi v3b running DietPi 6.9. Things run on it just fine (I have Plex, PiHole, Sonarr qBittorrent, VNC, Radarr + Jacket on it) but it seems to want nothing to do with my laptop (192.168.1.10). I can connect to VNC and all the webbased things on my phone but if I run VNC Viewer on my laptop it won't work. I also am unable to SSH in with it. It feels like my Pi has banned my laptop somehow. Where? I've tried sudo iptables -L -n but the Chain INPUT, Chain FORWARD and Chain OUTPUT are all blank. I've got fail2ban setup, but fail2ban-client status says I have 2 jails that are both empty.

How's the Pi handling your Plex transcoding? I would love to have a Pi serve media from a NAS, but I'm afraid it would catch fire. ...Though to be fair, I did experiment with Moonlight (Steam streaming) and it was able to push 1080p with no noticeable issues.

DizzyBum posted:Very strange. Glad you got this resolved already. I mean it's resolved in that 192.168.1.154 works fine. I'm pretty sure if I went back to .1.10 then it'd not respond again. I set it so it just streams (and watch it using my Chromecast) rather than attempts to do anything to do the media. I'd say 90% of what I have is 720p, but I think the 1080p I've tried worked fine once I got my internet sorted. The WiFi reception where my Chromecast is located wasn't great so I fixed that and it streams without issue.

Unless you have remote control to its power source, yeah, watchdogs are great. In other news: anyone know of a rpi or some other SBC that does usb 3? I'm eyeing the rock64, but only because it's the only thing I've found that fits into the same niche as the pi. I'd prefer to stick with linux. I've been trying to get a ravpower filehub to function as an in-the-field SD card backup for my dslr. It technically works, but each raw file is about 25MB in size and with usb 2.0 the best it can sustain is about 5MB/s.. so transfers take loving forever. It is a cool little piece of kit.. runs linux, easy to hack, has dlna, functions as a travel router, but it's using ancient tech. Since I've already done a bunch of scripting to automate the file transfers on it, I figured a handy way to upgrade would be to find a card computer with usb3 so I can just port my scripts over and be done with the project.

I've got a Pi 3 I had set up for Retropi, but it hasn't been used in a while and I'm thinking of turning it into a Pi-hole. Do I need to wipe out everything currently installed on the Pi to do this? I'm a novice at best so I don't have a solid understanding of how everything works. Or would I be better off buying the cheapest Pi and using that instead of using the more powerful Pi 3?

If it's the former, you're nuking everything on that card and replacing it with the new software. You can of course just get multiple SD cards and treat them like cartridges in a game console, switching depending on what role you want the device to play. If it's the latter it should install in to any existing Raspbian or Raspbian-derived system. If it's both, pick your poison. quote:Or would I be better off buying the cheapest Pi and using that instead of using the more powerful Pi 3?

me your dad posted:I've got a Pi 3 I had set up for Retropi, but it hasn't been used in a while and I'm thinking of turning it into a Pi-hole. Previous-gen Pis never really go on firesale. The 2b, which is two models old at this point, is only $4 cheaper than the 3b+ at Microcenter. If your 3b is just going to sit around otherwise, use that. The only significantly cheaper current model is the Zero-W, but you’d have to dongle out for ethernet. As for setting up Pi-hole, just download an image of Raspbian Lite, write that over your card and find a guide for headless setup. That basically involves copying and pasting your WiFi info into a “wpa_supplicant” file and creating a blank file called “ssh” on the card. After that, you should be able to SSH in, paste the Pi-hole script and follow it’s prompts.

wolrah posted:Not sure about Pi-hole, but most Pi software tends to be packaged in either an appliance format consisting of an all-in-one image you flash to your SD card or as .deb packages for Raspbian. Sometimes both. Yeah, I'm currently running a Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi that's both my speed-test-recorder and a Tiny Tiny RSS server. At the time I set it up as a Pi-Hole, there was an issue that forced me to roll back my version to get it to work, but I think they've fixed that since then.
