I’m working on a project that houses a bunch of Raspberry Pi computers in multiple remote locations. I wanted to be able to monitor the “Health” of the hardware in these remote locations. The metrics I was hoping to capture…
Having grown up with Windows it pains me to try and learn all the intricacies of the Linux operating system. However, the pro’s for running a server based on this architecture is great. The cons are that I must learn…
Home Assistant is an open-source home automation platform that is powered by a massive community of makers, tinkerers, and DIY enthusiasts. The software itself runs on numerous hardware and software platforms including the Raspberry Pi, Tinkerboard, Odroid, and Intel NUCs….
Recently, I have had a few requests for a “How To” configure the TVheadend server. This article will cover off on the basics to get you up and running. If you want to review the hardware requirements then check out the build post here.
I have a projector out in the theatre room, however, this same room does not have any coax run for TV reception. Nor does the projector have a tuner for Digital TV. Thus the idea for the RPi TV streamer!
Its small, its cheap, its easy and its suited to the DIY Maker. The Raspberry Pi has revolutionised the internet of things making computers and programming accessible for everyone around the world. This is a brief history or snapshot of the legendary hardware.
So you purchased a Raspberry Pi ZERO Wireless and like me, did not realize that you would have no way to actually access the small form factor computer, because it does not have any standard USB ports.
Just last week I was setting up IP cameras at home and connecting the irrigation controller to the network and I was opening my network up to the internet WAY to much. (I was port forwarding all kinds of ports.) So to mitigate opening up to the internet so much I decided to setup a VPN tunnel that I could easily connect to which would allow me access into my local network.
The idea behind this was to create an aesthetically pleasing frame for an old screen that I had lying around. No chance was I going to create a standard boring square frame and hang this on the wall.
I have embarked on a journey to create a Raspberry Pi HAT for a little project of mine and I wanted to share a couple of things that I have created which may help you speed up your development time in the future.
Finding the IP address of a freshly imaged Raspberry Pi can sometimes be a PITA. Especially if you do not have access to a spare HDMI cable, monitor, mouse and keyboard. In this article we will cover off on a few methods to identify your Raspberry Pi IP address on your network.
For us linux “late-adopters” it can be a daunting prospect of carrying out a routine file transfer to our Raspberry Pi from our Windows machine. However the learning curve is not so great. There are plenty of easy methods of achieving this feat.
