Hi all, We had a power outage the other day, which my pi didn't like at all! Is anyone able to suggest a UPS which will: + keep the pi and WD PiDrive Foundation Edition hard drive working long enough to survive short glitches without needing to reboot + when battery getting low, to shut down the pi...

How much memory on a MicroSD is best for higher performance on a Raspberry PI 3 B+?! 16 GB?! 32 GB?! 64?! How much memory does Raspian, Retro Pi, XBMC (OpenELEC) and OfficeLibre take? Can all these programs be installed together?! Or do they need separate MicroSD cards?! Capacity does NOT mean perf...

I doubt there will ever be an "official" foundation case because of the Stem is of limited functionality upgrade from the commonly available short usb cable. Therefore limited market demand coupled with the fact the Stem costs more than the a Zero itself pretty much ends financial incentive for a ma...

Hi folks, as not being a pro on linux/rasp I made an easy swap of my micro SD from 3B to 3B+. Works fine but not upon finding the Wifi hardware. Missing Wifi icon on taskbar is one thing but the configuration claims not to see the hardware at all. With a fresh jessie-strech img all is fine but I am...

Some info here, including thermal images: https://medium.com/@ghalfacree/benchmarking-the-raspberry-pi-3-b-plus-44122cf3d806 Ah very informative thermal images. Now I'm curious if there is any overclocking overhead left with the new power system and heatspreader. Eben had stated when the Pi 3 shipp...

Hello there. Just wondering of anyone knows how to use toggle and push switches with the Raspberry Pi 2 to send keystrokes to a pc as keyboard commands for games. I want to build a button box the will control games like Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I want each button to send a keyboard command lik...

For something simple as measuring a sensor, have you considered using a wifi micro controller like a ESP8266? You also didn't say how much hacking you're willing to do, or are you searching for a finished product. https://hilo90mhz.com/esp8266-battery-monitor/ https://www.hackster.io/jamin/blynk-pow...

I have a mt7610u wifi dongle running on the latest Raspbian Stretch and the driver is included by default and just works. Are you running the stock kernel or something modified? Really? Can't find the mt7610u wifi driver on my Raspbian Stretch. Are you certain it's an mt7610u wifi module. Or is it ...

Hi. I have RPi 3 which i must connect to wifi, but i cant use any keyboard or display. Can i connect rpi with my computer or phone to control it without internet. For example by bluetooth or ethernet cable? There are many guides on how to directly connect Pi 3 to PC using a ethernet cable, no inter...

You know what, to make this project easier, does anyone know of any other SBC capable of running Android that is smaller than the 3/B but with similar specs? The Pi Zero's single core processor is such a downside so I wanted to use a more powerful board. Orange Pi Zero or Zero Plus are smaller than...

FYI: There is a beta wireless firmware that might fix those oddball bluetooth connection and hostap wifi problems. I haven't had time to test it out yet.

Why all-in-one unit? Usually it's better to separate your power and data transfer.

It's a bit overkill but something like this world work.

Ok, but does that need the pi to be connected to wifi? Is there a way to physically connect it to my phone with like a micro USB to female HDMI connector? It's a non GUI option but you can serial console over the GPIO pins using a usb serial TTL adapter and an USB OTG cable to your phones USB port....

I would like to be able to purchase a Raspberry Pi (RPi) 3b compatible camera, capable of IR (for night vision) and also zoom. Is there a platform that would allow me to mount such a camera as this, and control the pan (left-right) movement, and also the tilt (up-down) movement, so that I can have ...

Thanks for the replies so far. I will look at the links you have all given. If anyone else has something to add then that would be cool. Truth is I bought an ESCAM QF003 to utilize for the project. Idea was to learn their camera, dismantle, and then reassemble. It used a Real Tek PIC (I think that'...

I know this sounds like a super silly question but is it possible to solder a new USB port on my Raspberry Pi? I have a original Raspberry pi that I use frequently for setting up my Pi Zeros SD cards. But I dropped it on the ground with a USB WI-Fi card inside of it. Because the Pi was inside of a ...

Great to hear your update. Please post more once you have some performance figures, perhaps some using different battery capacities. It lasted only 5 days on a 1200mAh battery (turning on every hour for 56-58 seconds). I'll try to test and optimize more. That frame looks really cool project. I wond...

Finally found time to put together all the components listed in my previous post. I connected the Done pin of TPL5110 to BCM 12 pin of the Pi, and added the following line to /boot/config.txt: dtoverlay=gpio-poweroff,active_high,gpiopin=12 I also added a script to /etc/rc.local that updates the dis...

Since I travel a lot for work, I was thinking of taking the pi0 in a small box with two wifi adapters. Is it possible to have the pi0 connecting to a mifi/jetpack and also broadcasting as a hotspot.

That definitely looks like a cool match for the Asus Tinker Board. It runs on the toasty side.

What country are you in, and what kind of projects do you envision using it for? Besides the basics, you may consider picking a few extras depending on what you plan to do.

I've owned a Pi for a few months now. Just started learning a few things. Rebooted it by accident, but now it all looks different. I can still watch movies, but have no way of configuring or adding. Again, totally new to this. But would someone recommend a book or site to buy that could help me fix...
