The Raspberry Pi Thread [4]

The pi camera finally arrived 10hrs after placing my order...
It took longer today than usual.

Test setup running pi camera module v2 and scrollphat hd together.



Attachment 203693

Sample Pi camera module video...

I'll have to give that RasPi Video a try. I have one of my v1 cameras hooked up to my AIY Voice kit.

Nice work.
I did the 4 wires only on my LED shim. All it usues is i2c which is two wires, and power and ground. Same as your Scroll pHat HD. That let me mount it vertically instead of horizontally.

Woke up really sore today. Neck and shoulders are killing me. Don't think I'll be doing much Pi stuff today.

I also received these 2 micro-USB powered relay switches last night. I intend to use these for automation project via voice command.

By default, the video format is h.264. But it is easy to convert to mp4 via command line.

Did a little Pi tinkering today. I'll be swapping out the Sense Hat in my portable weather clock so I drilled out the mounting holes I need in one of my new Ninga Difussers. The current one has a cutout for the Sense Hat joystick that won't be needed, and will mess things up for me. I can't access that joystick anyway with the case cover on so I swapped diffusers.
The old difusser will go on my indoor weather clock, that will be using the sene hat for a while. That one was cut square, but now I need a place to mount a BME680 that I just got. I'll mount that to extra bit of difusser that sticks out the side. Away from any heat given off by the Pi. I have to do some soldering and add some headers so thats for another day.
Also mounted my new Unicorn Hat HD to one of my spare Pi Zero's and put my spare Raspbian SD card in it. Not sure If I'll do any more with that today though. My neck is getting really sore so time to call it quits for a while. If I get this working and scrolling text the way I want its going into my portable weather clock to replace the senes hat. The only thing I'm using on that sense hat is the 8x8 led matrix. I want to upgarde it to 16x16.

interesting ,maybe ,if you have a copy of windows mob, didn't read a lot about it .
Windows 10 on ARM (WoA) on raspberry pi 3b - YouTube

I saw that posted on the Pi Foundation Forum. It's a work in progress as far as I know, and only just barely usable.

On a semi related topic, by chance I noticed if I select UNK for My Visual Studio Windows 10 Consumer ISO, the options are x86, UNK, x64.
I get en_windows_10_consumer_edition_version_1803_updated_aug_2018_arm64_dvd_c3f1ab29
Which I think is Windows 10 on ARM?

Moving on... scrollphat and camera module installed.

Working on camera software....
