POE for a Pi has been around for a while. The 3B and 4B have that option. It can be expensive to implement though. The POE Hats plus a special POE switch.

I do, I have a look see almost daily.
Going to be a pain getting the LED's to show motor speed the way I want. The orientation isn't the best, it goes
0----11
1----10
2----9
3----8
4----7
5----6
board.leds.clear()
Making some progress. I did up a test file that runs the motors and reads the speed from the encoders. Next step is to display the speed on the RGB LED's. The Inventor has built in LED's that show...
I got the encoders, Micro Metal Motor Encoder (MMME) (pack of 2) - Sideways
and the mounting brackets, Long Micro Metal Gearmotor Bracket (pack of 2)
They help keep the dust, pet hair, etc, out of...
I have a couple of 2 wheel drive Pi Zero + ExplorerpHat sitting on a shelf gathering dust. :o
Explorer pHAT
I had them running and controlled with a wireless keyboard. It was a bit of a PITA...
This is what I'm tinkering with at the moment. Early days though. It's up on stands so it doesn't scoot across my desk while testing code. I know the motor encoders work, and the motors run. Also...
I'm tinkering with something pretty well weekly. More Pico than Pi these days. Mostly coding versus building. My background is in electronics, as you know I'm a retired electronic technician. That...
My Pi 400 got used quite often, pretty much daily. My Pi 5 is in its place now. I had a spare keyboard and mouse.
Spoiled, I am. My RGB USB HID keypad decided not to work this morning? I had to actually mouse over to the icons in the tray to launch things. The horror!! :eek: :D
Had to reload Circuit Python,...
Don't worry about it Jack. I'll pick up another Pi 4 at some point. The camera works fine with a 3B, a 4B will just get me a few more frames a second in my Video Feed. I just figured I'd see what you...
I have two 1.54" SPI LCD breakouts on mine. They display CPU info, clock speed, CPU temp, etc. And a RTC and trackball breakouts. At some point I'll likely move them over to my Pi 5. It's not at the...
Ok, Was just wondering. My Pi 5 has replaced my Pi 400. And I don't have a good use for the Pi 400 now. If it had been a Pi 4B I'd have swapped it in place of one of my 3B+'s I'm using in some of my...
Hey Jack, do you happen to have a Pi 4B your not using?
And if yes, I have a Pi 400 I'll trade you for it. Interested?
This is my latest Pan Tilt Camera setup. I removed the Servo header from the underside of the Pan Tilt Hat, cut the servo cables to shorten them, and soldered the wires directly to the pads on the...
Just went and changed them, I hadn't spotted that option. Thanks for pointing it out. :D
:thumbsup:
I use static IP's for my Pi Camera setups. It makes it easier to connect via putty etc. They get unique hostnames on there own via the Motion Eye OS setup. meye-af43e3c1 for example.
I had run an...
Got my newest Raspberry Pi Pan Tilt Camera up and running. I was getting some blue colored flashes in the video stream. Eventually traced it to a bad camera ribbon cable. I had a spare so no big...
Your only seeing the (I guess?) back side of the PiCowbell board in my picture. I double and triple checked it before I soldered the headers on. It just didn't look right in the Pimoroni Decker Quad...
CAN BUS, OBD. Think, automotive. ;)
I'll need to order one of these at some point.
OBD Plug (16-pin) to DE-9 (DB-9) Socket Adapter Cable [1 meter long] : ID 4841 : $5.95 : Adafruit Industries,...
I am so not impressed with Adafuit's Circuit Python. :mad:
I have a Pi Pico based USB HID Keypad that runs Circuit Python, in use on my main Windows PC. It does what its supposed to, what I wanted...
Sorry it took so long to post these. I haven't been feeling very well lately, mentally and physically. There have been some personal family matters that have been stressing me out, and not helping...
My Pi 5 is one of very few Pi's I own that doesn't have something connected to the GPIO Header.
I code in Python on my Pi's. And Micro Python on my Pico's. A lot of the Pimoroni libraries are C...
I will try and get those pics of my Pi 5 case up today. I took them, just have to transfer them off of my Camera and resize them so I can upload them here. The hi res ones right off of the camera are...
I posted some earlier in this thread. Will take some new ones and post them latter today some time.
