Plus that gains you built-in WiFi and a bluetooth chip which you could connect to a bluetooth OBD-2 dongle, wireless keyboard/mouse, audio system, etc. I figured that a zero might be pushing it. If I end up buying a Pi3 though, I'd probably swap it with my Pi1 which is running the Hypriot image and is serving as my docker host. The Pi1 lacks bt, but I have a 2 dollar usb bt device somewhere in my spare parts box. I was hoping for a 10-15 dollar garage setup, not a 40-50 dollar one though. Guess I gotta make up my mind. I'd also love to get a Pi running Kali and hook my awus wifi adapter up on it and do some scans at home.

A Pi0 runs a slightly faster Pi1 CPU, so you'd actually be better off browsing on the Zero versus an original. Basically think of the Zero as an overclocked 1+ B with ports removed. Pi2 and Pi3 are much more suitable for actual interactive use rather than appliances and toy servers.

Yeah, I re-purposed one of my 1B+ pi's as a temporary HTPC replacement last night so I could watch a movie and so I installed the latest Raspbian. I had forgotten just how painful it is using it for even basic web browsing. Just looking up a couple things on raspberrypi.org was really slow and you could tell it was really taxing the Pi. I would not want to use it (or a Zero) regularly for browsing.

Has anyone here tried out Windows 10 IoT on their pi? I've got a spare pi2 that used to be for xbmc, then I turned it into a small webserver but I barely touch it anymore. I don't really know what I'd use 10 IoT for but it'd be something new to try out at least.

This is more of an Arduino question, but this seems like the thread for it. I sold an old Dell Optiplex 380 desktop computer running Windows 10 (64) to a guy who wanted to run Vixen and use an Arduino Mega 2560 to control a bunch of Christmas lights. He says the setup worked on a newer HP Envy (OS unknown). He transferred the setup to the Dell. He can program the Arduino, but when he runs Vixen one of the solid-state relays flickers and the rest do nothing. Does this sound like a power delivery problem? I wonder if the setup was plugged into a USB 3.0 port on this other machine (USB 3.0 is rated to deliver way more power than USB 2.0 iirc). If so, how could he get more power into the Arduino while maintaining the data connection needed for the blinkenlights? Splice together a barrel connector to the end of a USB cable plugged into a second USB port?

Even if you plug it into a USB2.0 port it will be capable of increased power delivery. Alternatively, get a USB3.0 expansion card.

Ok, so no zero or Pi1 for browsing, got it. Another thing I'd love to give a shot some day is install some security camera's outside of my house and save the feeds on a disk Would a puu zero be able to do that, or should I look at pi3 for that as well?

Adafruit is the only US online store with the Zero, and their shipping is unreasonable. If you don't have a Microcenter nearby, you're pretty much out of luck. My acquaintance with the arduino problems got things sorted out. The problem was with the Vixen software.

I actually made a baby monitor of sorts by using a Zero with MotionEyeOS installed (very fancy surveillance front-end) with a Playstation Eye USB Camera connected to it, I only use it for a video stream over http but you can tell it to store images/video where you want along with motion detection/operating schedules. If I had the money and owned the house I'd probably get a bunch of IP cameras and a switch to make a proper surveillance system. The one bug I've come across is every now and then the video feed will scramble for a couple minutes, I couldn't say what the cause it though.

I just bought a 5 meter strip of WS2812B addressable LED's, so that I can mess around with a spare Pi and make some Christmas lights for my front room. They should arrive in a few days. I looked around at a couple of guides and one mentioned making a circuit using MOSFETs. Does that sort of thing come embedded with the microcontroller, or do I have to start making circuits up too?

Yeah. Since I got in from work I've been looking at a few YouTubes and the Adafruit website, which have their own high quality version of the WS2812 controlled strips called a NeoPixel. It seems that the strip just needs power and signalling on a single wire to the microcontroller. One video did recommend putting a specific diode in there for better 5v signalling from the GPIO, so I've been back to eBay and bought a couple of tiny, breadboard based logic level converters for a couple of quid. I have a couple of diodes in a tub somewhere but they're probably the wrong rating so I might as well just stick a tiny 3.3v<>5v board in there. Looking forward to messing about with this!

Can anyone help me figure out if it's possible to create a raspberry pi configuration to boot on powerup, and SSH into a remote system? In other words, I want to connect a raspberry pi to a monitor, and leave it running permanently SSH'd into a server. If for whatever reason it gets disconnected, it, upon boot, will bootup, and login to a SSH session with statically stored credentials to a remote server. For you old school folks, think modern TN3270 dumb terminal.

The automatic connection you could handle by using a passwordless SSH key. Automatically log in by doing something like this: http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/3873/auto-login-with-gui-disabled-in-raspbian Then have the user's login script do "ssh user@host".

I have mine on startup kick off autossh to an external host using keys for auth and it seems to work. Edit: more detail: I am running openelec or something like that so I just added a line to /storage/.config/autostart.sh You may need to do something else depending on distro. waloo fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Dec 14, 2016 |

Hello! I am hoping for some advice. I have an RPI B setup with the official touch screen in the smartiPI case. I also have an ubuntu server in the house. The RPI is a great mountable touchscreen now so I want to turn it into a music player interface that can stream music on the server. What is the best way to do this? Should I be looking at a sound card for the PI to stream from the server? or should I look to controlling the server from the PI? I am pretty good at hardware but have no idea what software to look at. I am interested in suggest solutions. ta

I stopped at microcenter to pick up a usb flash drive and walked out with the drive and a pi 3  I barely use my pi2 but better speed + integrated Wifi+Bluetooth for $30 was too much to pass up when I had the box in my hand.e: for a real question, if I want to make the new pi a kodi and emulator machine, should I install an emulator-focused OS (RetroPie/Lakka) and Kodi after, or a media focused OS (LibreELEC/OSMC) and emulators after?

I've decided to make five RetroPie consoles as gifts for my groomsmen. How simple/complicated is it to take an image of one fully-configured RPi and apply it to the other four? They're all identical, hardware-wise (same sized microSD card, same RPi 3 board)? Is it as simple as taking a raw image with something like Win32DiskImager and applying it to the other microSD cards? Or is it like imaging Windows in that I'll have to "sysprep" a working one before I capture the image? And what's a good power-button solution for these things? After experimenting with my RPi 2 I was reminded of the fact that there's no way to boot up a shutdown Pi except for removing the power adapter and then plugging it back in...

Same size and brand sd card yes (or all bigger than the one you're copying from) They're not all quite the same size between brands, so if it's a fully expanded card image, sometimes it won't fit I've always wished the raspi-config file system expand did it bar the last few mb to avoid that Skarsnik fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Dec 20, 2016 |

Anyone have experience with Pi-hole? I understand it's blocking ads via DNS blacklisting but how does it work out in practice? Is the CSS hosed up on most sites? Do you get those "WE SEE YOU ARE USING AN ADBLOCKER" style ads as well? Would you say it's as effective as Ublock?

I'm using it. Got a Pi2 plugged into my router under the desk. Traffic from my mobile (when on WiFi), laptop (when not using VPN) and desktop is Pi-holed and it's all quite seamless, really. I also use ublock in my browser, so there may be stuff stopped by that instead of Pi-hole. The Pi-hole GUI gives you a nice log of DNS requests and I'm surprised by the amount of Google chatter on my Android phone. I expected quite a lot but, crikey! Also get quite a lot of github logs when I've only got git installed to do the odd clone operation. The Pi-hole itself is fairly unobtrusive, with a nice looking GUI.

Then you're using it ad objects on sites either straight up don't appear or they're replaced with blank HTML error boxes, some sites with ad block protection are still clever enough to bug you about it and I don't know if it's me but Youtube videos take a bit longer to start buffering. It's also interesting to see how much Windows phones home.

I don't typically see ads when on youtube, though once in a while the video takes an extra ~10s to load on desktop at least (I imagine those were when I was supposed to get an ad, but didn't). My iPhone ends up skipping ads for youtube, twitch, and in-app ads typically which is nice. OCCASIONALLY a website won't load for me, usually on my phone, because of pi-hole. I think something in the website's JS gets hung up on not receiving a response from whatever ad service it pings and never finishes loading the page. Of course in those instances I can just turn off wifi for my phone and reload, I don't think it has ever happened on desktop but I can't recall. I'd just have to switch to using a google DNS or something if I really wanted to see the page I guess.

I read somewhere (probably these forums) that they were gonna start baking ads into the video themselves. Probably when the technology is quick enough to do it ad-hoc with millions of videos per minute. So the ad becomes part of the video and it's impossible for a machine to make a discretion. Amazing how dearly these ad companies think that we are influenced by all of these adverts. I'm probably not immune to the suggestions made to me by adverts, myself, but I'd like to to think about 95% of them mean nothing to me.

They’re still going to be skippable after <x> seconds in most cases, correct? So key off the “skip this ad” text. You won’t be able to avoid downloading/waiting through the first few seconds of the ad, but the computer can black/mute the ad and then skip the remainder at the first moment it is possible to do so.

Hmm. Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. I guess if there's a computer function to present a "skip this ad" button then it would be trivial for any ad blocker to get its triggers off that.

Having a weird issue with the official touchscreen on raspian. If i tap quickly, i get a triple button press, on screen keyboard types "aaa", etc. If i hold it for a few ms, it works like you would expect. xev shows three distinct buttonpress/buttonrelease events 1ms apart with a quick tap. Can't tell where the issue is, thoughts?
