    Breaking the ice – solving frozen SSH on Raspberry OS

    ByStefan May 5, 2023May 5, 2023

    “I didn’t change anything and it (the SSH console) just kept on freezing”.This sound like something a callcenter agent would hear many times a day. Not that I ever worked shifts in the night and early on weekends and got paid really well posing as some who knows more than the computer screen in front…

    We need a bigger boat – Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero 2 and Raspberry 4 pinouts

    ByStefan September 12, 2022September 12, 2022

    As all the Raspberry Pis have the same pinout – here is a overview valid for all of them. Thank you pinout.xyz for your great service! The HDMI and USB ports are on the left, the SD card slot on top and the pins on the right.

    It was born like this – pre-enabling WiFi and SSH on Raspberry Pi OS and creating a user

    ByStefan September 5, 2022February 10, 2023

    Most of my Raspberry Pis run headless (just remote console, no GUI). To remind myself and for your service I wrote this short memo how to set them up correctly. You can also find the same and much more Pi related information here, but I like to keep the stuff I need together in one…

    Knock-knock- a door or window sensor prototype in (Micro)Python on the Pico, D1 mini and Pi Zero

    ByStefan August 22, 2022August 26, 2022

    Jump to: Pico – D1 mini – Pi Zero Raspberry Pico A short Python implementation of a magnetic switch turning on a LED when it is not connected (e.g. window is opened). For simplicity reasons I used the builtin LED on the Pico. You have to use the pull=Pin.PULL_DOWN parameter for the input pin (sensor)….

    Dusting off the blood sucker – deleting sustained mosquitto messages

    ByStefan April 25, 2022January 25, 2024

    After expermienting alot with my MQTT server it was pretty polluted with sustained messages and I wanted to get rid of them. The fastest way I got this reliably to work was by deleting the persistence file while the MQTT server was offline. You could delete all or specific topics with a script, too, but…

    It’s about time – how to auto-run your Python scripts on Raspberry Pi OS with Cron jobs

    ByStefan March 29, 2022September 12, 2022

    This is a step by step reminder how to get your Python scripts run automatically on your Raspberry. We will be creating a cron job that is run once when booting. (This should be possible like this or pretty similar on every Linux distribution where Cron is available and is not limited to Python scripts…
