The Raspberry Pi has made a massive impact in the computer science education. But lets not forget the impact it has made in electronics and the IoT community. These days with the Pi 3B+ and the Pi 4B they are getting really good-value computers, but lets not forget that these small things can be great for home servers to. Lets look a little in the electronics world today. We’ll be using a Rpi B version (any will do) a breadboard …

So lets talk Pi.We already gave a quick overview on the available Pi’s and which one you should chose.But we can doe better then a 5 min read on that. Lets begin with listing all the available Raspberry Pi modules from old to new. Raspberry Pi A (2012) Raspberry Pi B (2012) Raspberry Pi A+ (2014) Raspberry Pi B+ (2014) Raspberry Pi Compute Module (2014) Raspberry Pi 2B (2015)* Raspberry Pi Zero (2015) Raspberry Pi Zero W (2015) Raspberry Pi …
This tutorial continues where we left of in the Backing up your Pi tutorial.We’ve already seen how you can create a backup/clone of your pi to an SD card with the same or bigger size as the one you are using at that moment.In this tutorial I’ll demonstrate a way to clone your SD card (live) to a smaller SD card, this time without the need of a bigger SD card as in the previous tutorial. Requirements For this to …
What is PoE? PoE, or Power over Ethernet, descibes several standards for passing electric power along with data over twisted pair Ethernet. This way power can be delivered to devices such as Acces Point, Camera’s, Phones,… From the several common techniques for transmitting power over Ethernet cabling, only three are standardized by IEEE in the IEEE 802.3 standard. Requirements In this episode we’ll adapt our cluster to use the PoE switch (or injectors). we’ll do this to reduce the required …
This tutorial is a basic view into the ansible package. Ansible is to big to incorporate in a single tutorial so we’ll only touch the outer layers. In this tutorial we’ll use one of the nodes, later on known as the Master node, to control the other nodes in out network. Note that you don’t need a cluster to use ansible. Requirements Any raspberry Pi Cluster with 2 or more nodes.Or multiple Linux servers/machines. Setting up the software Before we …
Intro Having your own server running can be a great addition to your network.There are many types of servers, so what are you waiting for?In this tutorial we are going to take a closer look at the NAS, Storing your data on a server is handy for backup reasons, or for sharing purposes. Lets take a look. Requirements Raspberry pi (2 or above, preferably 3B or above) Network connection (preferably wired) Power supply SSH connection (see Remote connections) USB drive …
Requirements For this tutorial there is a minimum required components. Recommended Raspberry Pi (preferably a 3 or up) Micro SD Card Power Supply Ethernet cable USB Storage Device Optional Raspberry Pi Case USB Keyboard USB Mouse USB SD Card Reader Setting up the Raspberry Pi for USB Booting Before you start lets make sure that you use a Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, 3A+ or a Raspberry Pi 2B v1.2 or the newer Raspberry Pi 4. Other models of the Raspberry …
When you use a pi in a project you might not have a screen attached to it, or when you have a screen attached tot he pi you don’t have physical access to it all the time.So how you do control the pi then? There are multiple options for remote access to the pi.Here are some of the options: SSH VNC XRDP Lets start at the top. SSH SSH, or Secure Shell, is an encrypted networking technology that enables you …
Used equipment Any raspberry pi (preferably a RPi 4, but an Pi 3 will do just fine) Raspberry pi power supply Micro SD card External Monitor + HDMI cable (or a VNC connection) Keyboard and Mouse when using External Monitor What is the Raspberry Pi? The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers (SBC’s) developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The initial 2 designs (the A and B version) were developed to promote teaching of …
