I've created a small repo to demonstrate this. Connect a zeroW to a computer, the Pi will expose a hidden Wifi network that by connecting to it you'll be able to send remote keyboard commands (or execute ducky scripts) on the host computer: https://github.com/ozkatz/pi-remote-ducky

I was bullish when I got my first Pi to run Home Assistant (before hass.io), but got discouraged when the sd card failures were gas-lighting me by silently reverting my code changes. That and the lack of hardware clock hampering some of the diagnostic tools I usually use, kept me sticking with VMs on a NUC and a fanless Celeron for Kodi for my main compute uses. In time I have gotten more Pis, but mainly for hardware…
Seems like a small capacity ssd over usb would be a good idea...
I also attached a webcam for home security (motion-project) that sends me a gif over telegram.
I live in an apartment with quite strict fire-protection standards. Due to the fact that I have a cat that absolutly loves to go outside, I needed to find a solution for him to get outside without a catdoor trough my door. So I installed a fire-protecion-approved door drive that is hooked to a raspberry pi. Another raspberry pi then analyzes a video stream and detects my cat. If my cat is in the frame for n amount of…
super cool! Sorry for my ignorance, but how does it close again? Do you issue fire alarm and it closes ?
Maybe a bit off-topic but: The only thing that differs an "fire-protection approved" door drive from a non approved drive is that the drive is not allowed to have an option to keep the door open. Also in case of power outage (or fire) the door needs to close without power.
At one point I stuffed 40 of them into a rack mount and built a cluster to use for teaching at my university. Never gotten any publication out because it‘s fairly uninteresting from an academic point of view, but as a teaching tool to learn ARM assembler or parallel programming / how to execute stuff on supercomputers / OpenMPI it’s an invaluable tool. Recently there have been some odroid c2 added to the cluster, so…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
In China, they can get these bus message on a smartphone at mostly main city. The app would show the bus location and predict the time bus would reach according to the traffic status graphically.
We get this in the US in most major cities as well. But sometimes you don’t want to deal with smartphones and apps with bad UI developed by Fortune 500 firms for regional transit authorities, you just wish there would be a simple sign next to the stop that gave you 2 pieces of information: “BUS X IN Y MINUTES”.
retropie, pi-hole and running misc temporary servers like minecraft
How does it perform as a Minecraft server? Do you use any mods or just vanilla?
I started a company that constructed booths which used 70 accurately sync'd Pis with custom PiCams (fitted with lenses) to take pictures of human subjects, for turning them into avatars like this: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/pete-swagger-walk-a55d807de1... At the beginning of the project, I'd barely powered up the Pis I had collecting dust in my drawer. By the end, I was a legitimate domain expert in several nich…
