L'altre dia, fent una mica d'espeleologia cibernètica, vaig trobar un paio que havia fet quelcom similar al #Pitxu en un format més petit.

Feia servir un #PiSugar #Whisplay HAT en una #RaspberryPi5 i una imatge que ells mateixos distribueixen: baixar, cremar en una SD i au, i funcionava prou bé.

M'he adonat que fa uns mesos jo també vaig comprar un Whisplay HAT per un altre projecte, i ara en un calaix. Vaig muntar-lo sobre una altra RPi 5 que tinc per aquí, clonar el codi del Pitxu, anular tot el que no tinc (e-ink i Matriu de LEDs) i a probar...

Marededéusinyó, ara tinc 2 Pitxus... Aquest petit necessita que li programi la pantalla, que només parla i escolta, però funciona!!!!

Built my #pwnagotchi with a #pisugar 3 and a tri-color waveshare eink display! Named it Fred. Fred has access to my mastodon (I think 🤔) so he may post some stuff now and again.

PiSugar 3 is a tiny uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the Raspberry Pi Zero. It has a 1200 mAh battery, RTC, and a USB charging port. At $40 it's more expensive than a USB power bank, but it offers full UPS functionality including wake and shutdown features. https://buff.ly/4h0dJ4M #RaspberryPiZero #RaspberryPi #PiSugar3 #PiSugar #UPS

Messing around with a #PiSugar 3, a potentially interesting battery/ups/wakeup device for the Pi Zero. But it's yet another example of how not to do security. It has a small web server to control it (shutdown, wakeup, etc), which has HTTP authentication, and even asks to set a username and password on first install. But the web page is an SPA, and the actual commands are sent over an open and unauthenticated plaintext socket connection. Sigh.

Oof, the #Pi wants 5.2V at ~3A and my most-powerful powerbank will only supply 5.2V at ~2.1A.
Underpower makes it hiccup on boot (microSD isn't immediately available), and sometimes USB peripherals cut out.

I'm going to have to get a #PiSugar for this, aren't I?

And if that, then I really should buy a Pi 4.
