I am interested using Raspberry Pi computers and other micro computers and microcontrollers.

Generally working through a list of projects that I would like to do that only ever seems to get longer, while my time to do them seems to get shorter.

I program in python and post the results of my projects on my website for anybody who may be interested. It's good to share.

I have updated my Automatic AccessPoint script.
Network at home & AccessPoint when you are out.
"AccessPopup" on the #raspberrypi so that it now works on #archlinux arm for Pi4 as well as the #Ubuntu Pi Image and #PiOS Bookworm. Will probably work on other systems but not tested yet. Needs NetworkManager but i also have a different script for the older PiOS

#pimoroni brought out a longer pcie cable for their NVMe Base. So i brought the setup hopeing it can be used with a #raspberrypi 5 case. It didn't fit. So i have modified the case instead. All setup and running with a 256gb SSD drive now.

From sprites to Raytraced cars. These are some of the #F1 games I have enjoyed the most since following the F1 championship. Starting in the arcade as a kid, to playing on the #c64 and #amiga #retrogames.
I have also played PC F1 games in the past but this is the first time i can play a modern F1 game in full quality or in VR, which is far more enjoyable. Games have come along way in 40 years. Looking forward to playing F1 2043.

When my headerless #RaspberryPi where outside with poor wifi I kept them going with my autohotspot script. Auto switching between an AccessPoint and Wifi network so I always had a connection. It doesn't work in #PiOS Bookworm. So, a new Bookworm version is now available AccessPopup. https://www.raspberryconnect.com/projects/65-raspberrypi-hotspot-accesspoints/203-automated-switching-accesspoint-wifi-network

I thought I would compare the #raspberrypi 5 to my PC generating some Fractal Graphics in #Mandelbulber 2 (basically images from complex mathematical calculations) . Activated; ambient occlusion, anti alias, glow, fog so it has do some extra calculations.

1113 Frames:
Rpi5: 28 hours (cpu only)
PC AMD Ryzen7 3700 8 cores: 10hr 36 mins. (cpu only)
I think that makes the Pi5 quite respectable in comparison.

Then I activated the PC's GPU. Nvidia RTX 3060: 18 mins

Oh!

If you have plans to use #PiOS Bullseye on the #raspberrypi #rpi5 you will be greeted with this message. If os_check=0 is added to the config.txt as suggested in the message it still won't boot.
So you will need to migrate any existing projects to Bookworm before using them with the RPi5.

I have just been trying out #TigerVNC on the #RaspberryPi5 Had an issue with the viewer on Windows 11 of invalid Pixel format. To fix this go into the viewers options and change Compression Encoding to Hextile. Worked fine after that.

Raspberry Connect - VNC on the RaspberryPi 5 with PiOS Bookworm

With the release of the Raspberry Pi 5 VNC now uses TigerVNC and not RealVNC

Done a #rasperrypi5 vs #raspberrypi4 speed test. Copied 500 17mb images from a USB hard drive to the #raspberrypi SD card.

Pi5 was 31.6% faster. (03:41 vs 04:51)

Then all 500 images of resolution 5760 x 2880 where cropped to 1920 x 1080

Pi5 was 75% faster (02:40 vs 04:40)

Then the images where built into a mp4 video

Pi5 was 118.9% faster (00:58 vs 02:07)

So if you will be using the camera, processing the images are quite a lot faster on the pi5.
The same SD card was used for both Pi's
