🛠️ Hackathon every day
Hello! I'm Ivan, here I post my daily work as well as my personal projects. On Twitter I'm Merocle

21 Raspberry Pi CM4 with UpBerry carrier boards.

21 Raspberry Pi CM4 with UpBerry carrier boards.
Enclosures are on the way.
In the future, these devices will work to display various content in the company offices where I work full-time.
⠀
I've redesigned the case for the UpBerry and still plan to share the project. Had to pause due to difficulties with buying a Raspberry Pi CM4 and a floating WiFi problem.

Thanks Apple for this power connection in the new Mac mini M2, much more convenient for DIY projects.

That wires are connected to the normal server power supply unit.

Similarly, 3 more will be connected for the 1U server platform

The next step in the KVM platform project for 4 Mac mini with full remote control.
Now, I've made an adapter that can be installed in place of the standard button and "push" the power button directly from the Raspberry Pi GPIO.
In the photo is the motherboard of a Mac mini M2.

*Temporary*

I thought a few months ago. 16 Mac minis with M2 CPU

By the way model for 3D printing for mounting Mac minis this way is avaliable on the website and GitHub

Finally, I managed to purchase PiKVM v4

I don't think I've seen any mention that there is a NanoSim slot here.
Nice addition as well as USB3.0 inside and it seems a mSata port?

Overall, the assembly of the device looks neat and solid.

In case you don't know, this is a great project, on the basis of which I make my stands for controlling Mac mini.
PiKVM allows you to remotely control a computer or even a group of PCs using an additional classic KVM switch. Giving you full Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) access

Subscribe @uptime.lab to see what I'll do with it

I'm at the factory where Compute Blades v1 will be

I'm at the factory where Compute Blades v1 will be made.
It's a huge whole world.

Yesterday I posted a few stories about my trip and added them to my Instagram highlight (pinned story), enjoy watching them!

One of the big topics is testing. So far, it seems like a challenge, but I think we can handle it and ensure all shipped devices are perfect.

The deadline's already blown (sorry for that). I was naive in my predictions. To make a device for mass production you need to put in orders of magnitude more effort than for a single DIY thing.

But, again, we'll get through this. I used to believe, now I don't doubt.

P.S. I wasn't paid to advertise, but you'll ask where I am anyway. Teltonika is in Vilnius, the capital and the largest city of Lithuania.

I've been debugging the Fan Unit all Sunday.
But it was definitely worth it.
As usual, the problem turned out to be small, but while I found it, I managed to reassemble the whole board piece by piece.
I replaced the crystal, all its passive components (several times), the memory chip, and some passive elements.

In the end, the problem turned out to be in the wrong footprint of the Reset button, which was always pressed.

The first industrial sample of the Smart Fan Unit

The first industrial sample of the Smart Fan Unit for Compute Blade!
The good news is that it looks great and I have a video from production to share with you.
The bad news is that it doesn't work at all.
But that's what a prototype is for.
The previous one was much more complicated, but it worked, so probably some little thing is the problem. Checking.
