Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 vs Compute Module 3
Raspberry Pi launched Compute Module 4, as a successor to Compute Module 3B+. The Compute Module 4 (CM4) is a so-called System on Module (SoM), which contains core parts which make up a Raspberry Pi 4, for example, and in addition to that eMMC Flash in different sizes (ranging from none for the Lite module [...]
Will the Raspberry Pi 400 be available in an 8GB version?
The Pi400 already has a lot of basic models due to the languages, which of course is a bigger logistic challenge for Raspberry Pi and its partners.The standard version of the Pi 400 with 4 GB covers most (consumer / school children / students) application purposes. 8 GB are rather needed in the area of [...]
The technology & security foundations of PiCockpit
I was asked to elaborate a bit about the security & technology foundations of PiCockpit.The parts which are involvedPiCockpit consists of several parts:picockpit-clientpicockpit-frontendpicockpit-backendpicockpit-api (“papi”)the databasethe MQTT serverthe picockpit Package repositoryThe MQTT serverData between the picockpit-frontend and picockpit-client is exchanged using the MQTT server (called “broker”), via Websockets. We use VerneMQ for this purpose. MQTT is [...]
Flashing the PCCB Raspberry Pi Industrial Compute Module Carrier Board using a Windows computer
The PCCB is our Raspberry Pi Compute Module carrier board with industrial interfaces:I will describe how to flash the PCCB flash using a Windows Computer. PrerequisitesUSB power supply (or DC power supply) PCCBcompute module with on-board flash (Raspberry Pi Compute Module Lite variants do not have Flash on board)microUSB to USB cable (note: some microUSB [...]
Update picockpit-client for compatibility with v2.0
The new PiCockpit release has many new features, which require a new picockpit-client version (at least v2.0.1) for compatibility. What do you get by upgrading the picockpit-client / using PiCockpit v2.0?GPIO: control GPIO pins (input / output / software PWM to dim LEDs for example)PiControl: run commands on your Pi from the webinterface (you define [...]
Stress testing a Raspberry Pi 4 with PiCockpit – temperature monitoring
Using the new PiCockpit v2.0 release, you can monitor the current SoC temperature of the Pi in an easy to use webinterface (in PiStats).Simply click on PiStats, and enter temp into the search:this will narrow the display down to just the SoC temperature. The temperature will be updated every second.I also recommend you to use [...]
PiCockpit v2.0 released – amazing new features!
Yesterday, on the 6th of October 2020, we have released the new version of PiCockpit – which has many new, exciting features.And best of all: PiCockpit continues to be free of charge (as in free beer), for up to 5 Raspberry Pis! Get started for free today.What is picockpit.com?PiCockpit is an easy to use web [...]
