Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #raspberrypi, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I was banging my head against search engines and even AI, because I wanted to turn a very old #iPad running #IOS 12 into a #DigitalPhotoFrame.

    Long story short: It is close to impossible. #Apple fans will tell you, you need to throw it away and buy something brandnew for $1200 or so. #Linux nerds will tell you, you need to built something yourself with a #RaspberryPi and a touch screen (something like… $300…500?). Windows nerds meanwhile are busy waiting for an update that will shove new useless AI features up their behind, so at least no BS from that side.

    But not all hope is lost. If you have a Linux-based home server or NAS, it's actually… easy. There is this web server thing using #NodeJS, delivering a slide show that is tuned also to work with older #Safari versions on dead old iPads.

    The old iPad Air display is actually quite good. So why throw it away?

    Especially #monochrome photos look amazing on this display.

  6. I cannot contain my happiness!

    I figured out how make the new GoPiGo3 Raspberry PiOS Trixie install work on Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon.

    Now I can upgrade my ROS 2 robot “Kilted-Dave” to become “Lyrical-Dave”

  7. Decided to finally fix the vidrover. I enjoy the figuring it out part a lot more than the playing with it part. I drove it off a counter and busted it up good a few months ago and its just been sitting here broke.

    Lessee how round 2 goes.

  8. The #M5Stack #Cardputer Zero seems like a great small emergency #Linux device. And at the Super Early Bird price of £66 it's a no-brainer. Will be interesting how the #ComputeModuleZero performs.

  9. El modelo Qwen3.5-2B-Q4_K_M descargado automáticamente. Funciona. Sin embargo, la pregunta llega sola: ¿es ese el mejor modelo que puede correr esta placa, o hay algo más? raspberryparatorpes.net/proyec #RaspberryPi #PotatoOS #LocalLLM #Qwen

  10. With a ROS 2 Lyrical Luth GoPiGo3 build now in process, I took time to reflect on the 10 year history of ROS on the Raspberry Pi powered GoPiGo3 robot platform:

    Modular Robotics recently released a new pure Python install for Raspberry PiOS Trixie, which has set in motion a goal post for me to re-incarnate robot Kilted-Dave as Lyrical-Dave

  15. The Raspberry Pi 6 probably isn't coming before 2028, when hopefully RAM prices will have come down a bit. Expect CPU and I/O speed boosts, but no dedicated NPU. jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/new

  16. Six new models of OV5647 5-Megapixel cameras with adjustable lenses for ESP32-P4-DevKit and ESP32-P4-PC are in stock. NV suffix version is with IR cut-off filter removed for night vision apps. olimex.wordpress.com/2026/05/2 #esp32p4 #ov5647 #computervision #iot #mipi #csi #raspberrypi

  21. Today I worked on my pet project a little more, a custom (DIY) air quality sensor network with no internet access

    I added several wishlist items (features) recently to the project but that list is growing too fast, so today was about making a dent in them

    So, I changed how my web page summarizes a day of metrics. Attached to this post is the before/after in screenshots.

    I’m really impressed that SQLite can handle all of this

    See here at v2.1.7:

  22. Four years ago I spent a week trying to develop the single C++ EasyGoPiGo3 drive_cm() method AND FAILED.

    Last week I spent a single evening with Claude. After a week reviewing and testing the result, I now have 38 EasyGoPiGo3 C++ API methods fully tested and documented.

    It is not without embarrassment that I admit this SUCCESS.

  26. Hi, moOde 10.2.1 (Trixie) is available in the Media Player OS section of the Raspberry Pi Imager or as a direct download from the Release archive at moodeaudio.org. Visit the Forum for more information moodeaudio.org/forum/showthrea

  27. I've got a sandbox #Forgejo instance, and I'm thinking about setting up a permanent one at home. I'm thinking about running it on a headless Raspberry Pi with the storage on a TrueNAS box, because that's what I have.

    Will I regret the performance?

    - Raspberry Pi 4, 8GB RAM, Docker
    - 1 Gbit Ethernet
    - TrueNAS on Denverton CPU, 32GB RAM, disks not SSDs.

    Thanks!
