I forgot but.... This is exactly how you earned my sub. Like the rants, but this is solid.

[blackdog]

Love the snarky news comments, but this is why I SUBd so long ago. Thank you

Here I am Eli. I'm going to watch this.

OMG TYSM i now have finished alpha 0.1 of my primitive os (planning to add fdd support)

Love this. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Try an ESP 32 - Wifi + Bluetooth microcontroller.

Is it possible to do all of this with just the Pi? Can you hook up sensors and relays to the Pi? Also.. your code would be cleaner with a switch case statement instead of all those ifelse's. But I understand for a tutorial for beginners ifelse's are easier to understand.

How DARE you talk about computers?!? The HORRUH! 😂

Anyone else triggered by the non-static strap while touching bare electronics???

[JimAllen-Persona]

Why “high”, “low”? Yes, I know it’s the instruction to the interface but is only binary (on/off)?

[mohammed_najib]

Yes.. please keep doing this kind of teaching.. looking foreword to learn about technology and Iot world

I like most of your videos, but I'm glad to see some more tech videos coming out. I hope Silicon Dojo goes well.

May I suggest a direction/extension to this series. Some machine learning or AI processing on a data set to make it worth involving the pi when the Arduino mega can do a lot. I happen to be collecting a stream of about a dozen sensors and values from a solar battery array that I built. I want to pass information between the devices store it in a database and eventually stream live data to a webpage for people to look at and potentially use as an accessible real world data stream for people to experiment with processing when they may not want to build a bunch of hardware. It is a 3 kW solar system with east and west facing panels connected to two charge controllers, a 4 kW battery and a 4 kW inverter. The Arduino currently prints a line in .csv format every 20 seconds and the python code running on the pi’s terminal stores it to a file from which I graph a few subsets of the data to visualize. A 55 gallon water heater with 4 kW heating elements and a refrigerator are the primary load. I store battery voltage, output voltage and current from both solar arrays using voltage dividers on a protoshield and hall effect sensors, Temperature and humidity inside the building where the equipment is located as well as in an adjacent garden area, top and bottom temperature of the water heater, power from both solar charge controllers, power consumed by the inverter, power from the grid into the inverter when battery is low, and the state of several relays and contactors in a .csv file every 20 seconds.

This all being said I would be happy to volunteer some or all of my data stream if you think it would be interesting to process in some meaningful way to operate the system more effectively. I plan to add a wind generator and some other weather sensors to the system.

Thank you for the awesome videos!

Cant you just use Arduino for everything instead of adding raspberry pi?

[wolbachia]

This series is exactly what I need for my current project. Your tutorials are amazing, thank you for putting it out here for all of us!

[kostickar]

Hey, just wanna thank you for the stuff you are putting/ did put out. I am now watching through your networking classes and I have to say they are so easy to understand compared to lectures from my networking teacher. Same with arduino stuff, you actually got me to dust off my good o'l arduino.

I have a claw machine, which i would like to setup something like this to move the claw and drop the claw by using my computers keyboard. Any ideas, where to start?.
