  1. :pika: Whoa!
    I just realized my #RaspberryPi2 and #RaspberryPi3B are 10 and 7 years old.
    No wonder they were struggling haha. Time to find new uses for them. Thinking one will continue as #Kodi box just for the #RV I just want to find an elegant way to add it to the #TV. For the other I've tried it as a #HomeAssistant server but, I am thinking it is time to try and set up a #NAS. Wish me luck!

  6. #RaspberryPi2 ei ole nopea, mutta hyvin tuo on kotitalouden nimipalvelimena pyörinyt jo kohta kymmenen vuotta – ensin #Raspbian'illa, sitten tovin #Ubuntu'lla ja nyt jo jonkin aikaa #FreeBSD:llä. #atkjuttuja

  7. #FreeBSD:n päivittäminen muilla kuin #Tier1:n alustoilla (ts. kaikki paitsi #amd64) onkin varsinainen rumba, koska se pitää tehdä lähteistä kääntämällä. #RaspberryPi2:ssa se tahtoo olla h-i-d-a-s-t-a. #kotijuttuja #atkjuttuja #miehenelämää

  12. @blhue Had a recent experience where I ordered a #RaspberryPI3 from Amaxon and was sent an open box with a legacy #RaspberryPi2 inside. Guess someone got a FREE upgrade at #Amazon and my #TIME expense to return it back again.

  13. Today's #3dprinting is for the #retrogaming corner of my office. (The test run of VitaDockPlus worked great on an original #raspberrypi, but it is time to upgrade to a #raspberrypi2 in a fancy case.)

  18. For the big LED panel project I finally found the time to cut the strip into 45 parts. Each 5 LEDs long. Also removed the adhesive pads of them, because it does not stick to 3D printed parts well. Going to use hot glue for this.

  19. Break Time Is Calling On The Rainbow Connection - Like some of us, [Mister M] is prone to staying glued to his seat too long in this new era of work... more: hackaday.com/2020/05/04/break- #neopixelring #raspberrypi2 #raspberrypi #lifehacks #ledhacks #how-to #rgbled #alarm

  20. That was one hell of a mission! Finally migrated from my old #RaspberryPi2 to a Shuttle as my #Yunohost #Server. It was far more difficult than I anticipated, what with the completely different architectures (#armf to x86_64).

    This oversight by some of the contributed "High Quality" apps, seems to be one that has been overlooked.

    Migrating should be quite a simple task:
    1. create backup
    2. copy backup to destination
    3. restore backup

    For apps that are arch agnostic, this isn't a #problem (like #WordPress). But for those apps that are installed with #compiled #binaries that run as system services, this is a potential weakness that might need to be addressed.

    No-one wants to install an application on a small #SBC only to find out later that they cant migrate to a more powerful machine should the need arise.

    This issue isn't addressed in the #Wiki, Bug Reports, Readmes, #FAQ or relevant documentation. Perhaps it might be something worth looking at?
  21. I'm really out of practice soldering my own circuits on a perfboard. Don't know if a single circuit with a few traces justifies setting up a PCB etching station in my limited space here.

  22. Designed an electrical circuit for the prototype perfboard I'm going to solder.KiCAD makes things easier if you know your way around in it. When I used it for the first time some years ago, it was kinda intimidating.But with version 5 KiCAD got more useable.

  23. After my prototype was done,I printed more panels.I also added clips for cables on this revision,so I don't have to mess around with hot glue as much as before.Ask me if you want the blender/STL files, it might take some time before I prepare a post on thingiverse.

  24. After some trial and error I finished the test of the software serial communication with the HC-05 bluetooth module. I also defined a fault tolerant serial protocol for writing new LED animations to the Arduino Nano.

  25. Eventually figured out the right baud rate.The problem was, that the HC-05 was documented with 38400bps for the AT commands, but the standard serial baudrate was 9600bps.And I did not know if the software serial was working correctly at all.Other issue was a wrong voltage splitter.

  26. The Bluetooth serial module HC-05 seems to work fine. But I had trouble connecting it to the Arduino Nano (clone) via software serial. Good to have an oscilloscope to debug which pins the signal is actually being sent from and what baud rate is actually used (bad documentation).

  27. I decided to go for a small Arduino Nano clone. I already bought many other original Arduinos over the years already. If you can deal with the downsides of the clones (bad driver support for instance, old bootloader), they are a cheap solution for eg. controlling a #ws2812 LED strip.

  28. Don't want to spend more time than needed in C++ or the embedded world. So I decided to develop a little DSL with a byte code VM that is executed on the Arduino. It's fast enough to define interesting (animated) fades, and fill segmented parts of an LED strip.

  29. Finally glued everything in place in my experimental small hexagonal LED panel setup. I still work on HexoSynth. But it's good and fun to take your mind onto something else for recreation. Once these lights decorate my living room/bed room, I can relax even better :-)

  30. Check out the new animation I #programmed for my #rgbled #LED matrix. Was just a short test and it's driven by WLambda underneath. The #raspberrypi easily renders it in 60fps. #diy #maker #raspberrypi2 #ws2812 #programming #coding #rustlang

  31. While working on a new light weight plugin GUI toolkit I wanted to show this little firery #LED matrix animation. #raspberrypi #raspberrypi2 #ws2812 #maker #diy #diyproject #rustlang #wlambda
