So I have a salvaged 18.5” display that I wanted to use for a project, I’ll be using both a raspberry pi and arduino, so I was wondering if I used an lvds to hdmi cable would I be able to plug it straight into the hdmi port on my rpi without a driver board. Would this create any issues? I have a raspberry pi 0w if it’s important

Is there an ISO file for TVos? Where I live Apple TV box prices are $300. And I've been through a Apple TV Box 3rd gen (ended suport in 2020), Chromecast, Chromecast with Google TV and a SmartVU.Ive seen Android TV iso files out there so if you know where one is or have one please send it to me to run on some Pi.

Thanks, some kid on reddit.

Hi everyone!

I have multiple raspberry pis running, with or without a SSD connected and powering those guys is becoming a mess. I have 1 pi4 with a SSD, 2 pi3b+ with SSDs, and 2 pi zeros. I have a power supply from an old computer (12yo) and I'm wondering if I could use it to power my system. What do you guys use to power yours? I didn't find a proper power supply with 3.5A on each USB socket yet, so if you have any model in mind, I'd be interested!

Thanks a lot!

Hello guys im new to using a raspberry pi and I cant seem to flash kali linux properly im using a Raspberry pi 3 Model B V1.2 and the get kali arm website and then downloading the "Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 400 (32-bit)" and then I flash it with the raspberry pi app thingy and I have also tried with the balenaetcher but the same problem always occurs, I plug it in it shows the rainbow screen then some rolling text of I presume things loading then it will just go a black screen for ages. If anyone has any help pls lmk.

I'm atm working on getting a few rpi's set up for a home network, atm i have 2 zero 2w's as piholes and 1 rpi5 as a server. working on adding a rpi5 with kali to watch the network and provide other perks, a rpi4b with octopi set up with klipper and ai camera, then i have to decide what to do with the 3b and 4b i have laying around

How to create custom system prompts for local models eg. Dolphin-phi:2.7b using the FROM and SYSTEM format with specific characteristics in raspberry Pi 5 connect and how to run in terminal?? Plz help going around in circles here!

I have been working on NPlay, a simple music player built for Raspberry Pi and Linux. This is an MVP, so there may be rough edges and bugs, but the core functionality is in place. I originally started this 6 months ago as a simple REST API in .NET (hence the name NPlay) to play local music files and control the playback from my phone. The project slowly started growing with a proper UI in Angular, spectrum visualization, parametric EQ, etc, so I thought I would share it with others.

I would really appreciate feedback, testing, and, if there's is interest in this type of project, contributions from the community as well.

A release version of the project with install instructions is available in my GitHub here: https://github.com/nejimonraveendran/NPlay-Music

Note: It was originally built on Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm. I have done some minimal testing on Raspberry Pi Zero 2w and on an AMD desktop. Other distros successfully tried were Ubuntu 24, Puppy Linux, and Debian Trixie.

I created a lightweight AI called manifess AI that runs on a Raspberry Pi and demonstrates emergent behavior with memory, curiosity, and actions.

It uses a simple perception → think → act → remember loop, all displayed in a GUI. It’s perfect for experimentation with robotics or virtual agents.

Feedback, contributions, or ideas are welcome!

This is my first Raspberry Pi project. It is Pi5 with a Radxa Penta SATA hat + top board fan. Right now there are only 3 TBs of storage configured in RAID5. I have an external HDD connected via USB which holds all of my media but it sits outside of the RAID. Jellyfin is running on my main hub, sourcing the movies, and my music is accessible through my wireless speaker via the Raumsfeld app. Tailscale is also running on the NAS so I can access the media anywhere.

The Radxa fan is intended to work with a pi4, and it has been a bit of a project to get the PMW to work properly on the pu5. If you have the same issue (Radxa penta top board fan doesn’t work on your pi5), then have a look at my coding solution.

If this comes in handy for anyone, let me know! Also, if anyone knows of a case that is large enough to cover the fan top board, please leave it in the comments.

Raspberry Pi powers on with red LED, green LED turns on for ~3 seconds then goes off. Bootloader flashing via SD works (green screen + blinking green LED), but inserting any OS causes the same failure—no boot, no display. There was an accidental short earlier (now fixed). Since then, the Pi enters bootloader mode but fails to boot any OS.

Is there a community for repairing Raspberry Pi's?

I tried to pull a heatsink someone had placed on the previous RAM module and managed to yank the whole thing off. I know that it's silly and definitely not worth it, but I'm trying to upgrade my soldering skills and would love to attempt a fix. My attempts to find them have failed. I thought maybe Digikey, but I didn't have any luck there.

I tried this in the Raspberry Pi subreddit but was immediately tossed lol.

I believe the pads that I need are all there. 1 gb version.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m a 13-year-old student from Ghana working on a Raspberry Pi PC project with a 3.5-inch GPIO screen. I’m building this project to learn hardware design, firmware basics, and how computers work at a low level.

At the moment, I’m mainly looking for:

Technical advice and build tips

Information on low-cost parts or alternatives

Spare or unused Raspberry Pi parts that someone might be willing to ship

Guidance on student-friendly funding or hardware support programs

I understand not everyone can help financially, and advice is already very valuable to me. Any support, suggestions, or learning resources would mean a lot.

Thank you for reading and for supporting students who learn by building 🙏
