Raspberry PI

I was doing a large file transfer from my main PC to my Pi server and saw that it was taking an unusually long time. Checking the Pi server, I figured the reason was that it was trying to transfer the file using the WiFi connection. So I disabled WiFi on the Pi server hoping that it would make...

I am in the process of trying to correct my physical posture to reduce neck pain among other things. I'm aware that I have a very atypical sleeping posture and I would like to mount some sort of lightweight camera directly above my bed to better asses this. All I know is what I am looking for...

Hey community, It's been a while since I'm facing perplexing issues with my Raspberry Pi IoT project's connectivity. The Raspberry Pi, equipped with a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and an ESP8266 module, intermittently loses connection to the IoT platform (using MQTT). I've ensured a stable power...

Dear community, I'm diving into my first Raspberry Pi project and wanted to share my experience with you. Currently, I'm experimenting with setting up a self-hosted website on my local network and trying out a few other fun tasks. However, I've run into a roadblock. My ISP-provided router...

I just received an email extolling the virtues of the Raspberry Pi. Most of us already knew them, but I wanted to inform my fellows here of alternatives. When I clicked on the "View this thread" I got "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action." This kind of annoyed...

Anyone know any good x86 SBC alternatives to the RPI? I'm mainly gonna use it for tinkering and testing some of my own software with Linux but don't wanna have to deal with ARM, as that means I will have to recompile some of my code. I would highly prefer if it has a GPIO pin header with...

I was recently looking to add a UPS to my Raspberry Pi as I use it for a NAS and want to avoid any random shutdowns or power outages that could lead to data loss but realized that most of them don't really fit the case enclosure that I have right now. I stumbled upon the X735 (v2.5) Power...

Hello Do you know where to purchase a burglar alarm that cuts off electricity, or shuts down a computer via lan (Kill switch). What I mean is that instead of making a sound, it would cut off the electricity. Or is it possible to configure a Raspberry Pi to have such a function.

Currently I'm trying to connect my rp4 to my windows 10 share file but I'm running into quite a few issues. I want to say too that I'm quite a novice when it comes to non-windows based machines so there may be some errors in my operation that I'm unable to see. Okay so I followed this guide...
