Raspberry π

So long as you're not transcoding or trying to play 4k stuff it should be fine.

Otherwise I'd pick up a Firestick or Google TV or whatever

Yeah, no transcoding or 4K nonsense. Just be acting as some kind of stream aggregator and/or mp3 player type dealio. Just thinking of how to get more use out of the pi and what I'll do when I ditch my TiVo.

Anyone done this & is it any good? Might setup on the pi400 to help recode my various little projects

Had to downgrade to free api v2 and that's now giving 403 error which twython author says he isn't bothered to fix as doesn't use. I will have to try find another way for 5into15 to continue.

Looking at moving 5into15 to Instagram... the 403 error seems unresolvable without paying £100 pcm, called out to @twitterdevs to confirm, low likelihood of response.

A while back I bought a 32blit off someone on here. I turned it on, played one of the games for 10 minutes (Rocks and Diamonds!) and haven't touched it since.

It's time to accept I'm not going to do anything with it. If any forum folk are interested in having a go at some game dev, or maybe turning it into a submarine controller, DM me. Looking for postage and a nominal forum donation.

The 32blit website needs to renew their SSL cert but it's still up and running and there's some activity on the github/discord (not my invite)/blithub.

Edit: apparently you can play Doom on it if you have the game files and a microSD card!

I'm resurecting timelapse, idea to upload to youtube then retrieve url then tweet the url. Fuck you Elon.

The Youtube API setup is incredibly complicated compared to that for when I setup the twitter bot. I thought I was there but error

The redirect URI in the request, urn:----:wg:oauth:2.0:oob, can only be used by a Client ID for native application. It is not allowed for the WEB client type. You can create a Client ID for native application at https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient

Which option is "Native" there's none that stand out? I'm into brain fog now.

It prevents me getting an auth code that looks like it is the final step to being able to upload.

On other project idea, got tensorflow lite & opencv calling everything a vase.

Any value in persevering?

I think that's enough to go speak to a VC and raise $20m in your Series A.

vase.io seems to be available.

I resigned my job first thing to follow this calling. Show me the money!

Brilliant.

This really made me laugh.

The glass could be used as a vase to be fair.

I've got an RGB LED Matrix board working with my Raspberry Pi 3. What's the best method of getting to work from boot up? At the moment I'm running the commands in the Terminal window. I'm also running the OS with a GUI, seen some info online about running headless is better?

Bash script to run on boot? https://raspberrypi-guide.github.io/programming/run-script-on-boot

Cheers will take a look

I spotted in the comments that method might no longer work, here's a more recent piece with 2 options

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-autostart-bash-script-on-startup-on-raspberry-pi

Pretty sure the method in my first link is what still fires up my pi-zero invader.fm player though.

Thanks mate appreciated. So I'll have to save the command line stuff as a text file to run I guess

Not sure about as text file, you might be able to do it differently to above also. It was bugging me I couldn't remember how mine runs so I checked and it is a flavour of this

which led me to this which explains more

Hope this is useful.

systemd maybe?

Here's a very comprehensive guide to all startup things.

Thanks both.

So very roughly I cloned the github
Installed Python 3
Went into the Python dir
And this is the command I need to run at startup/boot

/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/bindings/python/samples $ sudo python3 runtext.py --led-cols=64 --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat --text="My Snarky Message Here"
