Armbian

pls don't hack my ip

I tried making a pip-boy local mapping feature with an ultrasound sensor. Unfortunately I was using the first pi and it was pretty bad. Had nothing but permission errors and then I found out it didn't have an accurate enough timer for it to work.

Anyone know where to buy a small speaker and attach it to Pi?
Basically, I'd like to continually run a script that pings some website and alerts me when the site is down. I'd like to then play an alarm wav when it does go down. I don't wanna send emails, sms etc... I'd like it to be self-contained.

Can someone tell me what I'd need to make this a reality?

>>61763712
usb speaker?

>>61763738
doesn't the pi have an audio jack?

>>61763751
yes but self-contained I guess means powered by the RPi too. No?

>>61763738
or just a simple buzzer over GPIO?

>>61763537
void linux or gentoo

>>61763465
they make a pretty decent paperweight

Yeah, I'd like something simple. I was told that RasPi doesn't have a powerful audio jack output so I wasn't sure I could just plug something in it that's not earbuds.

Basically, I'd like something really small... something that I can attach to the outside (or maybe inside?) of the case. It doesn't have to be super-loud.

What are my options? Are there any small buzzers/speakers that would fit inside of the case, for example?

I can't be the only one who came with this idea... there's gotta be some chinkshit for this...

Piezzo buzzers are fooking tiny meight

just like you're cock, m9

>>61763970
nice one m8erino

>>61763895
The easier shit is a usb powered speaker sold on the rpi merchant sites. They recommend turning volume down to 50% or less if you want to power it from the rpi.

whatever you package the proprietary broadcom blob with

I found this (and many variations of it) on chink sites.
How difficult would it be to attach this to raspi?

It's a piezo buzzer.

>>61764139
literally wire it up to the GPIO header
then write a small program to activate those certain pins when something happens

Is this actually usable as a mini pc?

yeah several - 2 racked in modded 1u chassis, 9 clustered, zero in this camera and another couple of zeros and Bs just kicking around

Stop buying chinkshit botnet.

what do u use it for?

>>61764479
been working fine since I got it familam

$20 :)

>Is this actually usable as a mini pc?
Yes. If you're not editing videos or playing 3D games, it will be very usable. you can find YT videos of ppl using them for daily work.

>>61764474
neck yourself pedo

>>61763587
that is not impressive

odroid ships with ubuntu

>>61764992
I can't for the pi2 unfortunately which is why I'm asking here

>>61765176
it's fine. Pi3 is not that much more powerful than Pi2.

>>61764992
I've tried using Pi3 as a casual machine, but I found the slow mSD read/write speed near-impossible to live with. Is this something that can be remedied with better mSD cards or replacing the slot entirely with something faster?

>>61765320
I meant pc2, fucking auto correct.
