  2. Raspberry Pi Picow Galactic Unicorn Weather and Clock display – Part 2
    For the past day I have been working on the display code I started back in February. I have made some quality of life improvements and also made it easier to get running on your own Pimoroni Galactic Unicorn.

    To recap, this code takes the weather data from Open Weather Map and turns it in

  3. Raspberry Pi Picow Galactic Unicorn Weather and Clock display
    For the past month or so I've been working on a weather display that uses the amazing Galactic Unicorn LED Matrix from the Pirates at Pimoroni. This board has a Raspberry Pi Pico W onboard on the back along with a speaker, several user-controllable button

  4. Mastodon Wordcloud
    Since leaving Twitter behind and moving over to Fosstodon.org (A Mastodon service), one of the fun things I missed was creating Word Clouds of my most used words. I wanted to be able to do the same to my data on Mastodon.

    A few months ago I began looking at the Mastodon API and was initially overwhelmed with it. But perseverance and practice paid off and I now have a working prototype applic

  5. Armbian on the Rock 4SE SBC 🤘
    Having tested out Debian and the DietPi-based operating systems, I now turn my attention to the Armbian community images for the Rock SBC. The review by RasPiPkr Tutorials (youtube.com/watch?v=vQ-gqPXWCU) shows YouTube playing without much trouble and also a faster-looking Graphical interface.

    So I downloaded the supported image from the Armbi

  6. ✌️Using the GPIO – Rock 4SE 🤘
    One of the main uses for single-board computers like the Rock 4SE is to control things through the GPIO pins. This can be simple LED control or complete motor or servo control. SBCs have long been used in robotics of all sorts - from simple four-wheeled robots to complex multi-jointed two-legged auto-balanced robots.

    The GPIO pins in the Rock 4SE will allow you to use the bo

  7. Debian- WIFI Setup on the Rock 4 SE
    Setting up WIFI on the Rock 4 SE is nice and quick on the Debian images as it comes with the correct libraries installed.

    This guide is for people running the Rock 4 SE whilst connected to a screen, keyboard, and mouse. If you are trying to run the board in "Headless" mode, I will hopefully have another tutorial shortly.

    This guide assumes you are booted up

  8. Welcome to the Radxa ROCK 🤘 4 Model SE
    Please see m,y update HERE and HERE for clarification on getting the WIFI working faster. Details left below for clarity to show the original issues I faced out of the box.

    I have been very lucky and have been provided with a free Rock 4 SE and have been picked to be an OKdo 🤘. To test, play and find faults! There are no obligations aro

  9. Talking about Single Board Computers
    Due to the current shortage of Raspberry Pi's around the globe, OKdo (okdo.com/) has started to invest in another Single Board Computer (SBC) called the Rock Pi.

    This SBC contains a very similar layout to the Raspberry Pi 3 but has the speed and power of the Pi 4 with extra abilities (see the table further below for more details).

    Plugged it in - but hmm, no IP. Quick google and found out about the new . So one file edited later and it's picked up my servers static IP from my router and all my dockers are up and running!

  19. So, after a week of feeling very unwell - I feel a little better today.

    Taking my mind off things I have decided to give LineageOS 21 a go on my Raspberry Pi 5.

    I am using the TV build and so far have gotten working and up to 1440p plays fine on SmartTube at the moment!

    4k in Jellyfin - not so much. BUT most of my stuff is HD so this will do for the most.
