raspberry pi thread

Model A (256MB RAM): functioning as a webcam with the pi camera and uploads a picture to my VPS every 5 minuts. Also I attached a AM2302 sensor to print the temperature and humidity onto the taken picture with imagemagick. I'm runnning arch linux arm on it.
Model A+ (512MB RAM): running a tor node (no exit) running raspian
Model B V1.1: laying around my desk, I'm using it for long running task like badblocksscan of old harddrives etc. running raspian right now

Running Retropie with a iBuffalo USB gamepad. I also use it to run kodi through the ports section in emulation station. It's the Pi 3 Model B.

Anyone have any cool home automation projects theyve done with theirs?

>>60123739
Currently running pi-hole on it. Best use for otherwise nearly useless hardware, would highly recommend.

I have a Pi 3 and Pi Zero on my desk now. I'm going to use the Pi 3 to manage a few cron jobs on my home network. Haven't figured out anything cool for my the Zero yet. Maybe make a bedside alarm clock since I'm currently using an iPad.

>>60124561
I had setup mysensors once.
https://www.mysensors.org/

using domoticz as a frontend
https://domoticz.com/

You could fuckin configure everything you need on it, but I was too lazy to make myself a cool monitor showing all kinds of data n shit. A touchscreen on muh wall would have been nice to control everything and show like weather data or shit. Maybe someday I'll try it again

>>60123739
just use nginx ya dingus

Riot.im/matrix dedicated server

mine runs a weatherstation which measures humidity, temperature, pressure and windspeed; a python script logs all data and saves the plots into the path of the webserver, so i can view it from my network

It's my aarch64 osdev platform, currently working on a Forth OS.
I know raspberry's are not ideal for that because of the closed gpu firmware, but it has so many convenient peripheral support that makes it easy to setup a mini tft screen and usb ftdi cable for communication and visual feedback.
Ultimately I will probably make my own board, but for now the pi3 is sufficient.

>>60125147
Where do you learn about this stuff?

>>60123739
installed Arch with i3 on it use it for chromium/torrenting/vlc/NAS/and like FTP server so i can grab my files from remote locations

mine sits in a drawer gathering dust, because actually doing things besides posting on 4chan and browsing other sites, while eating and occasionally browsing other sites and watching netflix/hulu, WHY CAN'T I JUST DO THINGS.

>>60126600
>WHY CAN'T I JUST DO THINGS.

Mine is an Orange Pi Zero with a 2TB hard drive via USB but it's doing the same shit most Pis do, works as a VPN gateway, Seedbox, a mini samba NAS and Owncloud.

>>60127794
what

I have mine running nodejs and a bunch of 4chan/reddit scraping scripts I wrote during a time in my life when I was in love with javascript.

It also runs a webcam and humidity/temp sensor for my ball python enclosure.

I am thinking of getting a second one for retro games, but I've done that project a couple times now and it never seems to actually get much use once it's completed, it may just not be for me.

The Pi3 makes a pretty decent development station, I may use it to make an ultra-slim workstation out of an extra monitor I have and setup a development machine at my solder station in the garage.

>>60123739
I primarily use it as a SPI flasher, and I use it to play with i2c as well, which can be a pain in the ass cause the 3.3v reg
on the original pi is shit (and the 5v honestly), I am thinking about just making a ATMega daughter board specifically for
working with SPI flash in 8 pin and 16 pin variants.

I was running FreeBSD on it for around a year but now I am running Funtoo and cross compiling shit for it.
I would like to get into bare metal development on the arm platform sometime as well, but I am still working on my x86 kernel so that is going to have to wait.

I have been considering getting a Pi3 just because of the switching mode regulator vs the linear regulator and the 3.3v supply on the Pi3 is apparently much improved

Anyone who says there is nothing to do on the rpi just doesn't know what they are doing.

I have a pi mini rigged up inside of a small enclosure with a portable battery pack. The battery pack is powerful enough to power the pi even with wifi blasting for about twelve hours. I have a few of those tiny flash drives attached, about 512GB of storage total. A local coffee shop to me has fiber internet and never changes the password. I go in there, and inside their bathroom I place the enclosure (about the size of a thick cell phone) in the ceiling on top of the wall. The tiles are loose and lift right up.

I connect to it from home and use the transmission remote to download whatever I want. I go in the next day to pick it up. I'm thinking of instead hiding it behind the sink in one of the cabinets in there, or finding some way to hide it where it can get power. For now the battery pack is working well.

They also have good sandwiches.

I am actually doing wifi RC project, and using raspberry pi on it.

>>60128104
Why do you have a Pi, the controller, AND a breadboard? I'm pretty sure you can Jerryrig the servos directly into part of the Pi, or at least you can with one of the models.

>>60128151
yeah im sure I can, but I wanted to practice my soldering, on future project I will be planning to 3d print rc car and use motors, H bridge, ESC, Actually im not sure if I need all of those, but I was just skimming in some guides about it.

>>60128151
the breadboard was just for testing purpose, I mean I always figured that is why people use bread boards, to test the wiring before making it final.

>>60128217
how about you stop being a faggot and do it right in the first place then?

Enjoy.

>>60129409
>drop each of them in public WiFi with reverse ssh configured
I'm a massive pleb but interested, please explain further.

>finally got openvpn settings working on my NAS so I can stop using my rpi3 as a torrent box
probably going to use it as a plex player for the bedroom.
Also have an orange pi zero, but that piece of shit seems useless.

>>60129934
essentially the ssh connection will come back to you, and then whatever address you provide you can connect back to the orange pi.

google reverse ssh tunnel or just reverse ssh. It will show examples, and explain whats what.

I did this with my 703n with openwrt, had fun with it. I am planning to do it again once I can control my router for port forwarding.

>>60127774
how the fuck do you manage that?
I have a opi z too and tried to use it for torrenting.
It ran at high load as soon as transmission was installed and was super slow even via ethernet.
It would drop to 0kbps constantly and it would max out at about 300kBps.
the rpi3 I used the same way downloaded the same torrent over wifi at 2MBps.

>>60130100
I'm using Deluge for the Seedbox part, wanted to use qBittorrent but the WebUI didn't had a method to assign labels.

>It would drop to 0kbps constantly and it would max out at about 300kBps
That sounds like my experience with Wi-Fi on the Zero, the Zero wifi sucks massive dick so i removed the antenna and just use the Ethernet. No issues at all and the speedtest-cli test seems fine with my bandwidth (60Mbps DL/20Mbps UL).

>>60130056
>>60129409
I'm not sure I understand, what's exactly the point?

>>60130152
hmm, maybe I'll play around with it some more.
I don't need a torrenting box anymore but I would like to get some use out of the thing.
I was getting bad performance over ethernet with wifi unconfigured, so either transmission sucks ass on this hardware or I'm just getting bad network speeds for some reason.

>>60130186
What OS did you use? I'm running the latest version of Armbian and everything runs nicely.

>>60130222
uh I think it was the legacy version of armbian jessie

>>60130165
the point is that you can do malicious things, MITM attack is a common one. Packet sniffing, metasploit, etc etc. Anything malicious that seems reasonable.
>>60129409
Also why orange pi zeros? Won't you still need
>memory, as in sd/micro sd
>power?

To be honest, I should pick one up, even though the community isn't as big as raspberry pi.

>>60130287
>To be honest, I should pick one up, even though the community isn't as big as raspberry pi.
they're cool but yeah don't expect to find straight forward guides for everything you want to do, unlike the pi zero w which everyone is frothing over.
Also you may want to pay $1 to get a heatsink for it.

>>60130287
>>60130316
From my experience with the Orange Pis you can apply all the guides to do stuff for the RasPi by doing the same steps, it runs Debian after all.

Now about the GPIO stuff i'm not sure.

>>60130345
Thats what I thought myself, like if you ran into a problem you can probably find rpi guide or something on it.

>>60130345
I've found a few differences between Rasbian and Armbian just in terms of directories and such.
Not a big deal unless you were hoping to copy+paste your entire setup without thinking about it.
Which a lot of people buying raspberry pis do, so it's worth mentioning.

im basically using mine as a home server to run bots on social media.

right now i'm running a discord bot and a twitter bot. i want to run more bots. what kind of bots should i run? im thinking about doing reddit and facebook too.

honestly i have little interest in social media, but bots are fun and seeing people react to them interests me

twitter bot is pic related

>>60124583
at the very least, install pi-hole on the 3. I think the zero can manage that as well, search around. I was thinking of adding squid to my pi3 besides the pihole.

>>60130418
Did you really have to name it after 4chan? That's rather cringe-worthy

>>60130470
Yeah, that's the plan. I wasn't aware of Pi-Hole until I read through this thread.

>>60130600
what else would I name it after?

>>60123739
I have one of the first ones with more ram and it can't even handle cups. The whole thing freezes for 10-20 seconds for every single print job.

>>60130625
Is that using the 4chan API to acquire its data?

>>60130624
Honestly it's easy to use and fucking great. I pointed my router to it but also I'm poiting my desktop and laptop to the pi to get stats on them too.
Default lists are more than enough but if you poke around you can load a shitton more of lists if you are paranoid.
If you use any machine with windows it has also a list with all the telemetry shit that updates from time to time.

>>60130675
im actually using a library called BASC py4chan because i wasnt aware 4chan had its own official API before i got comfortable with the former

I want to order a pi zero w but as with every new PI it's basically a racket. Cheapest you can get it is from Canakit for $10 and $10 shipping. You could literally throw it in a paper envelope for less than a dollar.

>>60130679
Thanks for the heads up. I have a Windows PC that I use in case some software doesn't work probably on a VM.

I'm thinking about also setting up the PI as an access point that's connected to a VPN service. Do you think there would be any issue if I pointed my router to Pi-Hole?

>>60130835

>>60131256
Thrift store. That is what faggots that replied to me cant understand. I am new to electronics/soldering/arduino, but nope there is only one path, and being elitist faggot.

>>60130887
not hard at all, at the time of install on the pi, just setup the dns servers you normally use with your isp (or whatever you are using now). Make sure the pi gets a reserved static ip address from your router or whatever you have doing DHCP and after you have everything connected and installed just change the DNS server on your router to the actual static ip you gave the pi. If you do that every single thing that connects to that router will pass through the pi and effectively block any crap. As I don't care to setup every single wifi device I have pointing the dns to the pi, I just leave it as is, but on desktop or a laptop I go ahead and tell the computer to strictly go through the pi ip address so you get stats in the web interface. Also you can check what was blocked on those. I can tell you it works with the Windows machine.

>>60131197
Yeah, I'm used to have ublock on every browser I use and have adaway on my phone but it's nice to know that there's an extra layer

>>60129332
Clusters are the best.

>>60127927
Why the fuck do you do that??

>>60131880
You have to be careful with some BOINC applications because some require swap space and will fail if none is available.
Seeing most ROMs don't set up swap (probably to avoid situations of over working the card and killing it quickly) it's worth making a small swap partition just to keep things happy. From what I saw (Einstein@home) barely writes to the swap it makes and Linux in general doesn't use swap until RAM runs out so a small swap shouldn't be too much of an issue having around.
