Do you have a single board computer, Sup Forums? What do you use it for?
Has anyone tried making a robot with their Rasberry Pi by any chance? I'm itching to make a small autonomous robot but don't know where to start.
Anyway, let's actually discuss technology on this board.
i have mine set up to host php sites locally, so that I have an easy to access web-dev platform...
I think you have raspberry pi confused with arduino
I was forced to buy one for uni
I don't know what project I'm going to make with it by end of semester.
Pi3, run RetroPie off it. I bought a Pi Zero with the expectation to block telemarketer calls on my landline using a USB modem, but there's a free service that does that so it's sitting there collecting dust. I'd be interested in using the Pi Zero and USB modem for something or another, maybe for fax services.
recalbox, much quicker and easier for something that'll collect dust just as quickly
>I think you have raspberry pi confused with arduino
Eh? How so? Because of robotics? Arduino doesn't have enough MIPS for good robots. You want RasPi3 as a minimum. You can then do stereo vision processing and all kinds of AI with it. Can't do that with Arduino.
Odroid C2 for seedbox
I just fitted a massive heatsink on a Pi3 and called it a day. I was really disappointed I couldn't push it past 1350MHz stable even though the temps never exceeded 60 celsius even after a 15min cpuburn test.
Used it for pihole until I set up pfsense in a VM.
Now it sits under my TV with rasplex so I can stream media to my tv
youtube.com
I did this project and now have a cheap ass webcam recording my sideyard. Lots of niggas in the hood. I just need to port forward this puppy.
retropie + pihole + kodi
I made this image... how to drive any motor with a cheap and readily available IC, you can drive 4 motors in one direction or 2x2 in opposite directions with this IC.
bought a b+ one with the intention of retropi got lcd and housing but dont have the time to get into it, might go back to it at some point..other than that its gathering dust.
>Do you have a single board computer, Sup Forums? What do you use it for?
I would like to make a media center with it, but I can't find the RCA plugs to connect it to my CRT.
>What do you use it for?
Paper weight
>thinks hes ``technology'' because he bought a raspberry pi
lol kys
>What do you use it for?
Mostly for hacking shit, dropping them as rogues in other networks, using them for wardriving, MITM, evil twinning, etc. Nice toys, but not much more.
afew, 3 x piBs, 9 x Pi2s, 2 pi zeros, some olimex thing that isnt very good
debugging my trail camera atm - had it working fine before with just a pi-zero but was a bit big and unwieldy - compacting it down aa but nd adding an arduino. When nothing is happening the arduino powers the pi down, wakes when there is motion.
will be running on 2 x 18650s and hopefully get better life than before - usb battery pack I was using before gave it 30 hours or so
Yeah I have a nano pi that I use as a dedicated dust collector
I have the first gen 512MB, using it for ADS-B autism
Currently installing Gentoo on my 3B, latest stage3 for armv7a is like a year old, compiling newest gcc takes ages.
Kek the 3 is armv8a
I got one for emulation , used it for a few months and after the novelty wore off I gave it to my sister , she's having a blast with it playing classic games with my mother
Yeah but it's configured to spoof a 32 bit processor and run in 32 bit by default because the improvements you get with 64 bit are barely worth the additional trouble.
a seedbox
Arduino is great when used as io via usb serial.
Pi 1: Nextcloud, Media Server, Pihole #1 (I eventually upgraded this to a mini itx server becuase I wanted to add more hard drives. When it was a pi, only Nextcloud was a little slow but very tolerable.)
Pi 2: Music server attached to my stereo, Pihole #2
Forgot to mention Pi 1 is also a seedbox
FUCK OFF THIS IS THE SHITTIES MEME I FELL FOR
>muh small home server
enjoy your 20MB Ethernet shared with USB
get a BananaPi with proper Ethernet
>muh Retropie and Kodi
Nintendo 64 lags as hell unless you mount a loud fan on it and the Raspberry pi 3 can't even play HEVC videos
I should've bought an Odroid c2
I use mine for bonus point farming on private trackers
Headless Raspi 1 with minimal Raspbian and transmission-daemon
At one point I had a Raspi2 serving my h264 video collection to a Raspi1 running Kodi. Never even had a stutter.
Sure, HEVC is a bitch to decode, but luckily it is a dead codec. I'm still waiting for a true successor to h264
Details user this is what I need.
The first good idea.
DUDE AV1 SOON LMAO
I used it similarly, made a bartop arcade with retropie and refinished a half cabinet and stuck it in there. Mom loves it, I am best son. Gave it to her a year ago and she still plays it last time I visited. Way to go familybro
bc-robotics.com
Works for raspberry pi 3 as well. This site shows which ones it is and isn't compatible with. $5.95
>newfag
how do you save a thread ??
>AV1
It might have shit compression compared to HVEC but it is better than h264 and not encumbered by the high royalty fees of HVEC. Regardless, I think both HVEC and AV1 will be busts and h264 will probably remain the standard for a very long time.
use mine as VPN server, DynDNS updater and a backup pihole/dns server.
sudo apt install apache2 php7
Why not just get a router that does this?
Not that user, but there are not very much routers that can run as an openVPN server.
And no, pptp is not secure.
I use my raspi2 also as openVPN server ( using pivpn.io ), host my personal blog and now I want to start building some kind of home automation + status display for it
How is the vpn performance? A pine64 would be better suited for that since it has AES-NI
>robotics
i think on something like this i just end up continuously fiddling with the actuator hardware than doing any actual programming at all
My Asus router has openvpn out of the box. You can pick up a used for less than $100
You can buy kits. There's dozens of them and they're cheap.
I love how the autismo Intel shills and other associated fags on here like to dog the RPi because of this or that reason.
It's a perfectly decent machine and would serve any normie just fine for Faceberg, Jewtube, and office appz.
Also it makes a great firewall as long as you're one of the 99.999% of people who has a pine64
Enjoy that botnet.
I need a portable power supply that's rechargeable for a raspberry pi, that also allows the raspberry pi to properly shutdown when the batteries are nearly depleted.
What are my options?
Using one raspberry for seedbox and one for programming and webhosting. Would love to get more powerful server but it's not very feasible in student housing and frequent moving.
At least I recently got access to some of my uni's computing clusters so I can just execute anything heavier there.
The Raspberry knight is among us, rejoice
use a power bank and stop being an autist
>gamer trash
What...? I bought the Pi for my normie parents as a media PC plugged into their TV and it was over heating with no cooling or with a tiny Pi1 heatsink. When I saw the temps after stress test to see if the cooler actually does its job I thought I might as well get some extra juice out of it.
>autist
I use a powerbank, but not properly shutting down can cause data corruption, which is important when building a camera, as any sane man would know.
>but not properly shutting down can cause data corruption
go back to bed gradnpa, you're in the wrong century
literally 10 seconds of search
raspi.tv
I have an rpi3 conected to the OBD port in my truck, it displays information and warnings to a small tft screen on the celing (its actually pretty easy to look at while driving)
Fly-fag detected
Most power banks don't work with the model 3 B? It needs more power?
WebM might be the best option right now. It shits all over flv and mp4.
I don't get why you'd want a RPi instead of either the cheaper alternatives, and/or better ones...
orange pis, intel compute modules, ...
that's because you've never used alternatives.
quit talking out of your ass.
I've never used the RPi. tell me, what's the difference?
if you just need linux, a CPU and some sort of network, any device will do it, even a cheap ass router with openwrt.
if you need a GPU, then sure, an RPi does have some relatively open drivers... but some x86 APU will be much better.
lurk moar. searhc the web. you are completely clueeless and it's pointless to teach you. you're wrong on everything.
this - just get a fucking xeon you useless poorfag neckbeards
If you want to make a "robot" like pic related with a RBPi you are going the wrong way.
This "robots" can be easly made with an arduino, and using a RBpi is going over kill.
Now if you want to build a real robot l, autonomus, with real actuatos like stepper or servos, and Input sensors like vision systems then I suggest you to use a RBpi then
Let me know how you plan on running OpenCV on arduino.
oh, and the electronics part... most people don't use the RPi for electronics, but as a cheap PC.
it's supposed to be a cheap computer to learn about hardware and operating systems, but... most people who buy them don't use them as such
>any motor
Can it drive stepper motors?
3-Phase motors?
Universal motors?
Servos?
Do you plan using OpenCV for a robot like pic related as I said?
why don't you look up the specsheet? why are you so lazy? it would have taken you less time to check than to type up that shitpost.
You said any motor, this doesnt drive any motor, just small DC motors
Dont get mad tho
I plan on running an autonomous robot that can navigate obstacles.
Arduino's just a microcontroller. I don't understand why so many people want to use it for anything that requires real processing.
spec sheet answers all your questions in the second paragraph. there's even a bullet point list that even someone like you can understand.
> (You)
>I plan on running an autonomous robot that can navigate obstacles.
does this obstacles require to be differentiated or just sensed?
> (You)
> there's even a bullet point list that even someone like you can understand.
I understood perfectly, you are the one that isnt understanding, this "spec sheet" you made doenst work on "any motor" as you said.
There are diferent kind of electric motors that are "driven" in diferent ways
There is literally no reason to use RPi unless you're using the GPIO pins. The crippled ethernet/usb hub and shitty storage system makes it awful to try and use as a PC or server and you also better run headless. You have to mod the board if you want to actually do anything sensible with it, like power it from the same USB port you connect to your real computer with.
pi zeros could be useful I guess but the normal versions are such shit and are overpriced compared to everything else it's hilarious that people still push them. Like for fuck sake you can't even VNC into the thing and have it be usable because of the usb hub nonsense
>Use Raspbian like a "normal" person
>Based on straight up stone age-mode Debian stable
>Packages are even more outdated
>Had to add Debian testing repos to not be stuck in 2012
>(((systemd)))
for what class?
>There are diferent kind of electric motors that are "driven" in diferent ways
Yeah, no shit. I'm sure it won't drive some specialty $100 stepper.
But it will drive pretty much any hobby motor.
you're talking out of your ass. you've obviously never used SBCs. I have a drawer full of them and only RasPi is worth your dollars because everything works with it and you can easily get help and troubleshoot.
you can't even get wifi working with some other ones that are like $10 cheaper.
>motors
take your neet faggot shit to /diy/ with the rest of the blue-collar scum
Thats right
But you could easily modify the circuit and add some lines in the code so you can drive a Bipolar stepper motor and then a Unipolar
Now you have 2 motors more you can add to your "any motor" list
>motors arent technology
Even your "selfmade" computers have motors
I lead my districts robotics team and I have the kids using it to process the camera data so the robot can control itself.
>you can't even get wifi working with some other ones that are like $10 cheaper.
why are you even using SBCs if you're this incompetent? RPi has a basic distro(that's out of date and you can't update and expect stuff to work right) where stuff kind of works but not well. Literally the only good thing it does is python GPIO out of the box which is still inferior to arduino even for kids.
>incompetent
I've reviewed every major SBC on YT. over 400k views at the very least. no one has ever called me incompetent in comments yet and YT comments are the absolute worst.
if your time is worthless (or negative) or someone's paying you to use some specific SBC, then by no means do use it.
but if your time has value (more than $10 that some chinkshit SBC saves you), RasPi is the way to go.
it's funny how someone mentioned (probably you) Orange Pi. It's the biggest piece of shit I tried to use. you can't even get wifi working without 30 min of fucking around and trying all kinds of "solutions".
use what you want. I could care less. it's your life you're wasting.
set up retropie with a friend and we use it to play advance wars 2 from time to time
>What do you use it for?
IRC Bot
OpenVPN
Torrent Box
Scrapping shit via flexget.
Do you suck each others dick while being high on gas?
what is the purpose of the photodiode?
PIR motion sensor - to trigger the camera
>look guys I have windows 7 + lots of bloatware installed + I luck like a piece of garbage xD
top kike. maybe just kys
Show me a motor it can't drive. Go ahead, I'll wait.
I'm running Arch on Pi running Kodi and BOINC.
That said, I'm having massive problems with NFS and I have no idea if it's the WiFi on the thing (Zero W so shit "antenna") or something fucked up with the server/client setup. Sometimes I can push stuff thru normally and other times it won't even play a shit 300MB low res file...
>le anti-semitism meme
zero arguments from a brainlet. i'm pretty sure you blame jews for your room temperature IQ as well.
what about the odroid?
Where is the meme, my double number fren?
i use it as Freenet node
>Freenet node
pedo
It's OK for some applications (Kodi for example). Wouldn't be my #1 choice for anything else tho. It is better supporter than some others.
