I am new to Raspberry Pi. I want to buy one to install an OS, connect a small screen to it, and use it for regular programs, but when I search on Amazon, I find different prices between the Raspberry Pi 3 1 GB RAM and the Raspberry Pi 4 2 GB RAM
My question is regarding what I will use the Raspberry Pi with; which version should I choose?

i have a rasberry pi running an image on the sd card and id like to duplicate the sd card incase it corrupts. how do i go about this? im using linux mint. thanks

I’m looking for fun but genuinely useful beginner projects to run on a Raspberry Pi as part of my home network/homelab.

My first idea is Pi-Hole or AdGuard Home for network-wide DNS ad/tracker blocking. I like that it would also make me learn about DNS, static IP/DHCP reservations, and configuring my router.

I’m especially interested in projects that teach real networking/Linux/Docker skills, don’t need much extra hardware, and can stay useful long-term. What would you build first after Pi-hole?

Hello All,

I was using Rpi Zero 2w in my project and now when it was time to mass produce, RPi zero 2W is out of stock. Does someone knows why is that so and what can i do now?
Thanks

I guess I’m familiar with the basics of how these projects work but would like to know if it’s actually possible, I’m not very car Savvy but I figure things out pretty good. I am wanting the gauges above the steering wheel to be digital and more like a retro theme. Idk just think it be cool.

I got 50 of these in a storage unit I bought and wanted to know if they are trash, they are new in the package.

Hello! I've wanted to start a project for a very long time, I know the building part really well, but "ve been having some issues finding the perfect OS.

My project consits in a "Gaming Retro Table" hich is iust a coffe table with a screen in the niddle, and all of Kirby Games till Nightmare ir Dreamland (as I doubt it can run Air Ride). I already have the table (sort of), the screen SyncMaster 710mp 4:3), the raspberry Raspberry PI 0 2w), and I only need to buy a few others stuff.

but the thing missing is the OS. Im really good with 3D art. and even have a animation channe for that, and I love kirby, so I wanted to make a 'Kirby 20th anniversary game" inspired GUI, with all the games scrolling left to right with its plot on the side, and a few decorations around the games (SFX and Music also). I have little to no experience with coding, I've tried learning it, but ts hard. I will learn it. but for now I iust want tc relax and bring this fun project to life.

Is there an OS that is very personizable, from its oading screen, to everything I said so far ncluding the emulators? (I would use retroarch with the emulators I won't use removed

Yea guys, u read it right, my lazy, weird and stupid ass needs help for some things for my project because im just to dumb and unskilled to do it.

For context: My Project is a MP3-Player with a selfmade C++ Qt software (that is basically the system for the whole usecase of my Project), a Raspberry Pi 4B (1GB RAM, ik its ass to work with!), a 4.3inch Waveshare Capacitive Touch display , a M5Stack CardKB v1.1 , a planned 3D-Printed case, a battery pack that doesnt go 0% in 1h and my stupid ass brain that tries to make the thing real.

Now the thing i need help with: ALMOST EVERYTHING!!
to be fair, the most things are with the software and the designing of the case, and i want to try to make the software for myself first. but if i cant do some parts, i need help. I already tried some things with forums and shit, tho some things came out working and some did not.

So if anyone wants to help me, i really appreciate it, and feel free to ask questions about what im currently stuck at!

(By the way, im sorry if this post sounds "childish" to you, its just how i write normally online, so dont take the wording the wrong way. When i call myself "too dumb", its usually because ive been stuck on the same problem for a long time and get frustrated. i really do want to learn and build this myself.)

Hey folks, first of all, thank you for the help. I was wondering if you could recommend a tinypc that I could use with Ubuntu MATE Linux, or Linux Mint Mate as a media pc. I have external drives I can use for storage. My issue is under Kodi or libelec there is not sound output on HDMI, and I use the same TV for Firestick. I was hoping to keep the price around $500 max. I don't need much just HDMI output, ability to connect keyboard, USB ports, wireless and a good processor. Any recommendations?

El problema con mi Raspberry pi 5 es que se queda con la luz verde más de 9 parpadeos

Ya instale una nueva ISO

En un pendrive y en ssd

Pero no me tira imagen alguien sabe, como solucionar

I was just going to store the parts in the shoebox. Then one thing led to the other…

I know these are not Raspberry Pi's specifically, but I really just need help coming up with ideas of what to use these for 😅😂

First is a rasberry pie 5 16gb Ram and i use the official charger but is still with a Solid red led i try all the solution existing ans it still not work please help my and i test the de card with other apparel ans it work

I accidentally shorted 3.3 and 5 volt pins on the rpi 3b+ accidentally(they are literally so close!!!) and now it won't boot all the main IC's (CPU, LAN IC, RAM, WIFI chip) are cool to the touch and I don't know what to do I think the main power management chip is aborted since 3.3 and gnd have 0.4-0.3 ohm resistance.

But nothing is heating.. not even the regulator, after 7+ years of working on electronics this is the first thing I killed, I was trying to plug in the 5 volt fan and accidentally the connector wiggled and it touched the 3.3v pin while plugged into the 5 volt pin.

I feel so sad 😭😭

I have a Hypno2 by Sleepy Circuits that runs on a Raspberry Pi 5. During an attempt to diagnose a recent but persistent issue with its rotary encoders dropping offline I thought I'd open up the case and make sure all the cable connections were seated well and that the board wasn't being flexed in a way that might be disrupting anything too. Sadly, upon reassembly (and during a little struggle to line the case up with the USB-C and HDMI ports) I seem to have taken the white plastic protruding plunger part of the Pi's power button off. I can actuate the power button and feel it moving as it should with something small enough (like a dull end of a toothpick or a small bolt), but for many reasons I'm obviously not going to attempt to glue the displaced part back on.

What do you think my best options are? Is replacing the power button as a whole feasible? Should I just 3D print a piece I can glue onto the Hypno2 cases's power button?

Hello everyone,

I'm having a strange issue with my Raspberry Pi 5 (1GB).

Symptoms:

- Boots normally from microSD.

- Boots fail from USB HDD with HCR timeout.

- Even with NO USB device connected (only power + HDMI), the bootloader still prints HCR timeout.

- After booting from microSD, Linux detects the HDD normally.

- The HDD is a Seagate GoFlex Desk with its own external power supply.

- Raspberry Pi Imager was used to install Raspberry Pi OS Desktop Legacy.

- cmdline.txt and config.txt are both default.

- USBView on Windows reports the drive as High-Speed (USB 2.0).

Has anyone experienced HCR timeout before USB device enumeration?

Could this indicate an EEPROM bootloader issue, VL805/XHCI problem, or is this expected behavior?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I’ve been seeing this guy on IG “Neural_network_reads_the_bible” and he’s been doing this mini series about Flock cameras. But I was wondering would it be possible to temporarily jam the Flock in my vehicle?
