Just to add. It has three main uses One as the sensor/information collector part of IoT, the Thing. One as the device/controller/the bit that does something, changes something, displays something.. Another type of the Thing. And lastly the Server/Controller. The bit that stores data and responds to ...

Gyroscope?

Clever mathematics to take velocity/impulse into effect?

Says 'try wine' which will be the emulation. You should look at Box86 (and Wine). Should run on RaspberryPi OS Or TwiaterOS as it all setup(ish) for you. I try twister os and it not boost to desktop only few linux description. Did you read the FAQ there and try the 3B info. Your lack of RAM on a Ze...

You'll want to remove it via apt first (if for some reason it is actually installed). Then use pip/pip3 Maybe they forgot to add it or figured it was better to use the often more up to date pip version. It was added to raspberrypi installs because it was/is used by some of their programs (learn/teac...

Ubuntu core and probably other Ubuntu's, I think, gain PiZero support with 21.01 But lubuntu only make a 16.? Pi 2/3 version. So grab a search engine and see what they say. Of course other OSs might start a but differently But they still need to be told how to function on a PiZero 2. How do i get t...

As a above, check that that OS is said to be compatible with the Zero2 There is a small file a Pi reads at boot up to know how to run on that Pi. (mentioned as firmware above). If the Zero2 file is not there then it does not know what to do. It is best to check with the maker of the OS. For example ...

The only extra pads are the (it think) smaller wifi/bt ones up near the gpio pin, just above the WiFi chip.

The rest are the same as the PiZero 1.3, with a slight movement on the USB pins by a fraction.

Which pins are you wanting?

Or is it the dimensions you're looking for?
Just get a ruler out?

All 4K TV's upscale, they handle SD TV and HD TV, then upscale to 4K to display it. Each TV model/brand is different and can do different upscaling techniques. But generally it just has to do it when you run your 1080p image into it. But it's of course not true 4K video, just a 1080p with more guess...

If you say you have regular power outages... Maybe look to see if a Pi Pico (or other device if WiFi is needed) can do the same work. If it's just turning switches on/off and measuring temperature, then it might be possible. You can often use micropython/circuitpython on the Pico or ESP32 . Just a t...

Honestly, if this ever happens, as above, get a new uSD card, write a new OS to it. Copy the code and across and install any modules you need. The latest OS will be Python3 only, but you just use python runprogram.py & now. Much quicker and works. Patching broken python setup is hell. Also skip ...

What type of coffee was it, anything decent ?
Terrible to spill decent coffee.

Milk in a keyboard is worse, especially when your son does it to a brand new one. killing it off.

Get a firestick or similar and install (if they still allow it) kodi. Cheap and 4K (with the 4K versions). May have codec problems again, see what it support. Amazon do give a list in their specs. Androidbox ? Windows PC?... The RaspberryPi 4B is the newest/best Pi (the 400 is just a Pi4 reimagined ...

Just to add to the above the Pi's 'clock' will change at DST. Nope. The clock stays the same (it's UTC). The reported local time will change. Hence I used 'clock' :-) Iirc Python3 tries to use the system timezone data, falls back to it own tzinfo database, (this could get out of date easier as peop...

bensimmo

Just to add to the above the Pi's 'clock' will change at DST. Linux has a file with a list of times etc, if it ever changes it gets updated when you update the OS (E.g. Using apt) with the package tzdata You set that up when you set your location, keyboard etc. Only if you are in a timezone and are...

This looks to be another option.
Geopy and suntime python modules.

One thing you might need if you don't have an internet connection is to have some way of keeping the time.

You could use a GNSS/GPS device to get the time and an accurate location.
Or a real-time clock (RTC)

Just to say my assumption above is based around the 60FPS part (which is better than HD broadcast quality) And the link had max 1080p resolution. So I guessed at 1080p/60 As broadcast quality, with decent bitrate. If 720/60 is fine then many webcam/action am can do that. If 1080/50 then it seems the...

No idea, but I know for Twitch streams etc then a powerful GPU is a must, but hen that is whilst doing something else. Even the humble GeForce 1660 for encoding (real-time) is far more than a RaspberryPi to encode on medium quality. If you're just encoding, saving and uploading. I guess you may have...

You'll be plugging in to a pc will be via USB. Just look through the webcams/action cams for any that will do 1080/60 over USB. I think you'll need usb3 for that as my action cam needed to be reduced to 720p over USB2. But it may not. The Picam's struggle with streaming for me, at least last time I ...

If anyone knows, OpenProject would know. I suggest asking them and any problems you may face. Hopefully they have a image for the Pi (if supported you can just write to sd/ssd and off you go. A quick search of their forums gets you this. I suggest you start there https://community.openproject.org/to...

I should add, I have no idea if that will work with a Logon Portal you sort of mention.
You don't often need that for WiFi, but then connect a phone (or the Pi hooked up to the TV via HDMI) to log in for internet access.
Maybe.

or see if RaspAP software can sort you out.

I do this with a TP-Link WiFi extender (RE210, not made any more) TP-Link plugs in to power socket. You then set it to Ethernet-WiFi bridge mode. Ethernet goes in to TV (old Panasonic, no WiFi ~2010) WiFi bridges (or whatever they call it) to my main WiFi Router/AP/DSL/Fibre box. Job done, been runn...

Have a look at simplifying your side of the code with https://github.com/timofurrer/w1thermsensor this has plenty of error checking in the background built in to the python3 module. from w1thermsensor import W1ThermSensor, Sensor sensor1 = W1ThermSensor(Sensor.DS18B20, "28-younumber1") sen...

When and which revision of Pi4 is that? It would be interesting to see how much power they've managed to gain from the initial release, the first firmware fix on that and now the v1.4/1.5 boards. It uses the A72 cores, they have no backup A5x cores for low power usage as most mobile phone devices do...
