the story behind pi3g

Back in 2012 the story of Maximilian and the Raspberry Pi started. He was excited when he got his first Pi and also saw the great potential for further development in it.
Then PiCockpit was born to make using and managing the Pi easier and more accessible for everyone.
Maximilian has always been interested in computers and believed that they are a lever to improve everything in the world - for example in medicine.
Over the years, Maximilian's work has grown and new fields of expertise have emerged...

In our blog you can expect blog posts about technology and business topics, of course about the Raspberry Pi, but also a wide variety of topics related to Industrie 4.0, IoT, and machine learning - for example about the popular MQTT protocol, Python and Linux embedded development, and much more. Blog entries are not scheduled and not in particular order - the topics are an eclectic mix of what comes up in real life of a company engaged in machine learning & Raspberry Pi embedded adventures.

We are happy to write about special topics that are not so well-documented elsewhere.
If you have any suggestions, we are happy to discuss current topics with you and are always ready to brainstorm workable solutions with you.

Please feel free to contact us 🙂

VerneMQ MQTT connection lost (8): AMQJS0008I Socket closed. different mountpoints

By Maximilian Batz | 2019-07-28

In my setup, I am rewriting the mountpoints of clients from the ones set up by the listeners to individual mountpoints depending on client group. The idea behind this is perfect isolation of multi-tenancy on the server. Individual clients from different groups thus are not able to see each other, even when subscribing to “#”…

Shopify & Langify modify checkout link

By Maximilian Batz | 2019-07-21

Shopify checkout is multilingual The shopify checkout is multilingual: The trick is to have a &locale=en or &locale=en at the end of the link: You can therefore create buttons, etc. which take your user to the checkout, under the links of https://buyzero.de/checkout?locale=de https://buyzero.de/checkout?locale=en which will set the locale to the appropriate language.
