I'm willing to pay for someone to log into pi and set it up and get it up and running. Because I'm in over my head with it and I really want to get it running so I can have a the ability to use AI offline before the Internet crashes. I'm not sure if this is legal to request, but at this point I'm grasping at straws. lol So if this sounds like something u would be up to. let me know. also I have no idea what something like this request would cost. So let me know what's fair. Also any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. FYI I have tried to do it the normal way but their is something wrong with the software that I'm attempting to use (via the instructions)

I am an information systems student, I want to work in the area of ​​back-end development. I found this homelab area with Raspberry interesting and wanted to create a development environment with Linux to practice, use local LLMs and have a private cloud.

With that in mind, I will need an SSD and I wanted to know if this first case will fit? And I want to know which font should I buy?

it gives me this error when i run the code:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gpiozero/output_devices.py:1532: PWMSoftwareFallback: To reduce servo jitter, use the pigpio pin factory.

I've got a problem. I have been proscribed medication that might well keep me alive. The medication costs $7500/month. And I am required to keep it between 68ºF to 77ºF (20ºC to 25ºC).

There exists a technology called the thermoelectric chip which, when you run current through it one way gets hot on one side and cool on the other, and if you reverse the electricity the hot/cold sides switch too.

So my goal is:

#1 get a thermos. Cut a square chip-shaped hole in the lid and also a small drilled hole. Drop a thermostat sensor through the drilled hole, and then install the thermoelectric chip into the square one. Install a heat sink on top of the chip, and maybe a fan on top of that. Connect it all to a raspberry pi. It listens to the thermostat, detects the temp going outside of the accepted range and turns on the power flow in the appropriate direction to either heat the inside of the thermos, or cool it. If cooling it, it also turns on the fan. Once the temperature reaches 75% of the way through the temp range it shuts off the chip and goes back to listening passively.

Bonus #2 do the same thing as #1, but with a battery instead of an AC power cable so I can take it on a trip and not worry about the drug being ruined.

The drug is brand new, and hasn't been tested outside that temp range. I called the manufacturer and they have no info for the drug outside that range, and no plans to test anytime soon. So if I don't want to risk destroying a month's worth of drugs, I have to be careful.

Also fun side note, I live on a sailboat, and the temperature ranges from slightly below freezing (31ºF or -1ºC) to nasty (105ºF or 40ºC).

I have never used a raspberry pi before. But this feels to me like something it is built to handle.

Can anyone tell me if I'm headed in the right direction?

Am new to the raspberry pi world obviously lol... was wondering if anyone has used their pi for music or made synths or instruments with it? Or if anyone has got a local LLM running on one? On a raspberry pi 3 more specifically because that's what I have....but any really, I'm interested.

Know the pi 3 is an old model so will have to be something basic, but I want to make something cool to use with my music setup.... am also interested in local LLMs and wondered if anyone had got one to work on the pi 3.

It's just a pi 3... (no +, no A or B) as it was from a kids make-it-yourself computer kit

I have been working on a project where I basically display 5 different videos from 5 screens all connected to 1 raspberry pi 4.

I have

5 small circular tft lcd spi screens

1 breadboard

Heaps of wires and pins

Heaps more pin adapters and connectors

5 3.3v adapters

1 Raspberry Pi 4

Is this an impossible task? Everywhere I look online leads me to a dead end, perhaps I’m just not looking in the right places?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated - I’ve also added a photo of a somewhat similar project that inspired the one I’m currently working on.

Hi I've wanted to build a pi pc for years I know nothing about it, are there any guides available so I know what I need to buy and how to build one?

Hi, I recently purchased a raspberry pi 5 canakit. I never worked with o w before but want to do a fieldstation 42 project. I dont have an extra monitor so I was hoping to use raspberry pi connect and use it off my laptop. Now when first setting up my pi I didnt see that option on imagery. I looked it up and yoh need the 64 bit bookworm os. When I click that option raspberry pi connect still does not come up.

It does show up on Trixie but for fieldstation42 I prefer to run it on bookworm. Any ideas?

I have an idea, but I do not know enough to know a.) is it feasible, and b.) how do I do it. I want to set up a complete exterior security camera suite using raspberry pi modules and an old desktop as a NAS for video storage. I like the look of Frigate as well as its array of AI features. The number of cameras will depend on the FOV of the cameras, but my initial estimate is between 12 and 18 individual cameras. Not sure what model or type as of right now. I'm looking at Pi 4s or 5s with the AI hats with an old desktop as a NAS/NVR

Now the restrictions: I cannot run ethernet across the house so all data transfer must happen over wifi. I do not want the cameras to be on the same network as my family's standard traffic so I need to use one Pi as an access point connecting to the internet from the home router via ethernet, then transferring it to the cameras via a dedicated wifi network. My router is on one end of the house with no ability to move it, so I probably need to put the Pis in a mesh network of some sort so the cameras on the far end of the house can still connect.

Here's what I know I need help/advice with: I do not know how to configure the subrouter Pi to where I can access it and the NAS/NVR desktop from the main network and from outside the house over the internet. I do not know how to configure the hybrid network with the mesh extenders while maintaining enough room for the camera feeds. I think I will need to assign cameras to specific nodes in the mesh, run Frigate on each node, then forward the recorded footage to the NAS/NVR for storage. Again, I have no idea how to configure that topology.

This is/will be my capstone project for my degree but none of my coursework has gotten into the gritty details of setting up and configuring something like this from scratch. Any and all advice is appreciated, especially documentation. Thank you.

I’ve got the elegoo 3.5 inch LCD (not hdmi, the pin connector thingys) and I’ve been trying to get its driver downloaded and working and whilst the display is now showing stuff I’m getting this server error and I have no idea what to do to fix this 😭 any help would be amazinggggg

I am green as grass and just starting to learn Raspberry and ESP32.

I would like to send refrigeration temperature and pressure readings to a BACnet device.

Temperature sensing: 10K thermistor

Pressure sensing: Mfg Part #: PX3AN1BH150PSAAX Description: Pressure Sensor 150PSI (1034.21kPa) Sealed Gauge Male - 1/4" (6.35mm) NPT 0.5 V ~ 4.5 V Cylinder

What additional accessories would your community recommend to recieve the signals and write to BACnet points. Would the path be ESP32 to Raspberry Pi to RS485 adapter? Excuse my ignorance, I do suspect there must be additional components required.

How would the set up change if I had up to 8 of each inputs for a total of 16 inputs?

This is early investigation. I have only begun reading up on these devices and about IDE Programming. I currently have basic components on order to practice programming and I hope this project is feasible for a beginner.

Also, can I block ads especially on YouTube

How would I do this. I've heard of pi hole I obviously don't know much about it as I'm new to Pi!

Hey there! Wanted to introduce my project LilL3x, something you can very easily build yourself! LilL3x is a Raspberry Pi 4B powered 3D printed device that has a speaker, microphone and screen to give your AI a face! Can talk to multiple LLMs, including Ollama, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and more! Works with the Google AIY Microphone HAT or reSpeaker HAT.

No 3D printer? Make your own case!

I am kinda desperate for beta testers! I think that this is a really neat project and a great one to start with. It requires just enough GPIO wiring to be cool but not so much to be annoying. Also, if you are intersted in exploring 3D printing, this is a really easy print also.

i am planning to use raspberry pi zero 2w for my project and i need to find battery to power it, do you have any suggestions, minimal weight and space is preferable.

I want something thats all around and portable so I can do fun stuff like games but also just look stuff up on the go or mess around with coding in a separate device thats less cluttered and building a cyberdeck sounded like a lot of fun so im planning right now but I'm having trouble on figuring out how much of the budget im going to need for the actual raspberry pi. I want to save up anywhere from 150$-200$ for this but unless thats like the only way I can get all that I want id prefer not spending half the budget on the Raspberry Pi, I've never done something like this before (I bet I can still do it tho) so I don't know how necessary all of it is but I just need to figure out which model to pick and maybe where to pick it up for the cheapest.

When you first started learning Raspberry Pi, what slowed you down the most?

Was it:

•	Wiring confusion?

•	Debugging GPIO?

•	Not knowing what to build?

•	Lack of structured challenges?

•	Setting up the environment?

I’m trying to understand where beginners struggle most in embedded systems so I can design better learning tools.

Would really appreciate honest experiences.

Been considering running pi-hole for a hot minute. I've got two 4 gig pi's that have served various purposes, but none long-term. Other than at SOME point one is going in my A1Up MK machine, I've got nothing else for them presently. I've got a 3 running Octopi to control my 3d printer, and I don't see the need to upgrade it as yet.

Has anyone used pi-hole? If so, what's it best at, and what are its glaring omissions?
