Just got a care package... and it's gonna be a fun week next week! So many boards to test (and this is only the ones from @Pineboards...)

Part one of the new electronics workbench saga is out, over on Geerling Engineering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV1Iv9bXkdI

What are some of the essential tools you think we need on this bench?

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@ednl Yep! Grounded it, it's nice to have an actually-grounded ESD mat :D

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@ednl @niclas Yeah; that's in my rack room, but just added another one this week to my workbench, and have another couple to hang around where I may need them!

Not asking for rec's right now, but man... there are like 13 different decent open source SDR GUIs/web UIs out there. Only used Gqrx and CubicSDR but will probably be testing a bunch soon.

My Dad uses SDR# I think, I have a list now to try :P

What's the best multi-chat app thing now? For multistreaming. And can it run on RPi?
I want a RPi setup that shows real giant chat (no typing boxes like Popout chat, just the chat) and let's me show alerts overtop

@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@jt_rebelo @EposVox Honestly I have tried finding that myself, and I just use streamlabs tool but it only integrates with one chat easily.

Hey @geerlingguy catching up on last night’s live stream with @CraftComputing and I have an idea for potential sponsors: hot dogs!

You and your dad can test out different hot dogs to see what produces the best sound, loudest, most bass, etc.

You could be rolling in that hot dog money. Then branch out to hot dog buns, condiments, etc.

@JLW_the_Jobber @CraftComputing haha believe me, I'm keeping a list of different objects we would like to test if we go back :)

@kivrak thanks! Still very much a beginner. Getting a desk PC going soon with SDR so I can have some more fun/learning than just a handheld radio

Raspberry Pi just launched a Connect, a new VNC service that works with Pi OS 12 and Wayland and lets you access your Pis from any browser via a web UI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgbTNZD1Vcw

As a proud member of the open source community since 1995, as being part of the OSS revolution as a , and employee, with regrets I have to admit @geerlingguy is not totally wrong:

This is why I'm increasingly embracing the world, particularly .

Also, some of the reasons are highlighted by @mms in this post:

Hey @geerlingguy I have been going through your ansible playlist on youtube and it's been really helpful for a new work thing I've been doing. I just ordered your book.

Now I've been looking for your video "There's a role for that" and can't find it anywhere. Do you have an updated link for that?

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@protik I think the Ansible channel got reshuffled, I can't find it now!

The Pico microcontroller from is pretty great because it's cheap, available, has two cores and PIO functionality, and last but not least because of the comprehensive documentation. Everything is collected here: https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com (search for "pico" on the page, see screenshot).

Hey, I never saw that hi res photo of the PicoW, interesting … click! >> https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/picow/PicoW-HighRes.jpg

@geerlingguy Jeff, have you tried any of the compute module 4 knock-offs on the Seaberry itx board? Like the milk mars cm or one of the orange pi cm?

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@JLW_the_Jobber not on that board yet. I would like to go back to it soon though.

Tiny Pi NAS is impossible to recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLZET7Jhza8

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@Ertain Yeah power for bigger 3.5" drives is always the annoying part :(

I would like to see a couple more options for the Pi 5 that are sized to fit bigger drives (like the Penta SATA HAT, but for larger drives, and you could buy a cheap acrylic case for the setup... or even a cheap NAS case from AliExpress or something and insert the board as a true backplane.

geerlingguy,

@cloud_manul It could happen! I think we're getting there.

There's a strange convergence where Intel keeps pushing lower wattage (but not quite Arm efficiency level yet), and Arm keeps pushing higher performance (while mostly maintaining efficiency).

To the point I hope things can settle on an SBC that costs $50 or less, more along RK3588 performance level. To me, that's a sweet spot.

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@richards the topic fits the main but there are different levels of production quality and until now I haven't had a place to post videos I know won't get "100k" level views but I still want to cover.

Also, third channel is where I can get a little wild with ideas and experiment without the main channel audience getting upset (and the algorithm punishing me for it)

This is a glowing review of the Firefly petunia

geerlingguy,
@geerlingguy@mastodon.social avatar

@Stephen304 it just started to glow up after a week and one round of dead heading.

Haven't tried fertilizers yet, the glow is mostly in the new buds.

I will try some fertilizer this week and see what happens! It's a pretty petunia by day.
