🛠️ Hackathon every day
Hello! I'm Ivan, here I post my daily work as well as my personal projects. I'd be happy to have you on Twitter: I'm Merocle

Uptime Lab
It's been a while since we've had news about Compu It's been a while since we've had news about Compute Blade RC2. So, we had a lot of logistical difficulties, but everything seems to be working out. PCBs are ready. Important components will arrive at the manufactory next week, and after that, it takes 1~1.5 weeks to finish the SMT. That's why it's time to close the beta form. I will process all unanswered over the weekend and close the submission form. Thank you all for joining in! Without you, it wouldn't have happened or taken even longer. I hope everything goes as planned with the prototypes 🤞 ⠀ #raspberrypiprojects #computeblade #raspberrypi4 #technology #diyelectronics #hardware #raspberrypi

Don't put it off for too long. Platform for 16 Mac Don't put it off for too long. Platform for 16 Mac mini with full remote control: keyboard, video and mouse (ip-KVM). And a power button control (with simple servo) that allows you to boot the mac mini into recovery mode remotely! Based on the Raspberry Pi PiKVM. I will tell you more about this project as I set it up and operate it. Already working on Mark II of this platform. Let's create AWS EC2 alternative for developers 🙂 Everything will be on GitHub. When I think of a name 😅 ⠀ #Apple #pikvm #raspberrypi4 #hardware #servers #aws #awsec2 #serverroom

Finished the water cooling for my computer. Very h Finished the water cooling for my computer. Very happy with the result. I did different tests. But the most important thing is that with workloads of games or work. The CPU and GPU temperatures are about the same and within 55 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the total heat dissipation of the PC (power consumption) is about 450-500W in these tasks. And it's nice and quiet. ⠀ The first thing I did was install the video card raiser and put the computer back together, take pictures, and try different concepts in my head and on my tablet for a few weeks. It turned out to be somewhat complicated. Of the assembly problems, I had to saw off half of the corner on the fan on the upper left (far left corner). Other than that, the assembly went pretty smoothly. I was expecting it to be a lot more complicated. Overall I am very happy with the experience and the result. Temperatures are ok, and the noise level is fine (well, you just can't hear it normally) ⠀ I ordered 20 tubes of 0.5 meters because it's my first water cooling system. First, I made all a rough (but not too bad), after redone it, as carefully as possible to avoid scratches and bubbles (from the heat). To appease the inner perfectionist and for the experience. ⠀ So I spent only six tubes (or three sets of 2 pieces) and sent the rest back to the store. ⠀ The full story of this assembly in the pinned stories ⠀ PC config: - Fractal Define 7 Compact White TG Clear Tint - AMD Ryzen 9 5950X - ASUS ROG STRIX B550-E GAMING - Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 2 x 32GB, DDR4-3200 - PSU Seasonic Prime TX 650W - 1000GB Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 - EVGA GeForce 3070 XC3 ULTRA GAMING - Raid 1 with 2x 4TB WD Red HDD ⠀ Water-cooling on EKWB components with 4x Noctua NF-A12x25 fans ⠀ #Water-cooling #ekwb #5950x #amd #watercooling #hardware #design #asus #noctua
My friend spent a lot of time testing the ITX-3588 My friend spent a lot of time testing the ITX-3588J from Firefly. And to our mutual regret, it seems that this device is not at all suitable for our purposes. The idea was to use it as part of a CI/CD system. Ideally, install Windows ARM. But in fact, it turned out that even installing Ubuntu is not easy. Perhaps impossible for the average user. The instructions just don't work. Does not work at all. Pictures in the documentation from another revision of the device (the reset button is in a different place). The screenshots in the instructions are in Chinese and were made on a much later version of the software than is available on the official site. 🤦 In the end, it failed to flash the bootloader, so the device starts on android, then loads Ubuntu, and... in half of the times, the SSD, connected via SATA, crashes. One HDMI port just doesn't work as some other interfaces on the motherboard. And this is actually still out of the box. Personally, I think it is indecent to have such problems with the documentation and the device. And in fact, the attitude of the manufacturer to their products and the community. Raspberry is beyond competition from my point of view. I'm not discouraging you from trying it. But I strongly recommend you to think three times before buying such devices for use in long-term projects. There is no guarantee that even such poor support will last. However, let us believe in the best and wish success to the Raspberry "killers". I will test them from time to time. So, for example, Apcsilmic DOT 1 Mini PC, which we tested earlier, showed itself from the best side; two are already in production, and ten more are on the way. ⠀ #firefly not a #raspberrypi #hardware #motherboard #development #cicd #frustration
Yes, they are very hard to get 💎 But last week Yes, they are very hard to get 💎 But last week I was very lucky and I bought 20 Raspberry Pi CM4 8 Gb Ram at retail in a regular store 🎉 I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your search. There is very useful service "rpilocator". But I subscribed to notifications from the store itself and from many others. This notification was set up in the smart home system that it would wake me and my whole family up in the middle of the night if a version of the CM4 with 8 GB RAM showed up somewhere. But luckily it happened during the day when I was at my computer. And the card was handy. So now I have enough Raspberry Pi CM4 for new Blades RC2 and UpBerry. And I even made a stand for the CM4. It's available for download on GitHub, link in my profile. ⠀ #raspberrypi #computeblade #raspberrypi4 #raspberrypiprojects #3dprinted #3dprinting #lucky

And just terrible software support and documentation 😭 I cannot recommend it for use in production at the moment. There is little information about reliability and it is difficult to set up (if possible at all). Don't know what to expect with updates. Very much hope the situation will improve. ⠀ #Firefly not a #raspberrypi #hardware #soc #pcbdesign #arm #rockchips
