I was considering this for my Maximus VI Formula, but never actually went ahead with it... As far as I'd read, others had got it working on the Asus boards using a BIOS mod that took the functionality from the Maximus VII BIOS... Let me know how far you get with it

There is a version of Minecraft that runs natively on pi, but iirc its based on mobile...

It looks as though you may be correct - sorry about that ...

It could also be worth looking into the ELM327 IC which is designed for reading the OBD interface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELM327

My best advice to you is read/work through this guide and see how far you get. I have set Retropie up quite a few times, and it's really simple to do Once you have that working on an RPi plugged in to a TV/monitor, then you can have a look at how to make it fit the form factor that you are wanting - this is where the forum linked above, or one of the many results for the google search of "raspberry pi gameboy" will help. Any specific struggles, shout on here and I'll help you where I can. mods: if anything in this post violates rules etc. please redact...

It might just be me not having knowledge on the subject, but I feel as though you need to put a bit more info in your post if you want input from others...

I'm considering it as a PC for my kids to use... Or just a plaything for me, but the first reason might have more mileage with the wife...

Hi Jonathan, welcome to the forum What exactly is it that you need help with? Have you already got some code that needs changing/updating/fixing? Or are you looking for someone to help you in the conception of it all?

I have one 3B running PiHole, and an original B lying around gathering dust somewhere...

Oops - my bad ?

I don't know if it was just while you were re-arranging things, but the switch on the PSU is set to 0 (i.e. off) in this picture...

I suppose you could maybe connect it to a PC and use ADB to query the phone - that should show if it's booted or not...

From what has been said and the issues that you're describing, I would definitely say that the voltage regulator is hooped... With you saying that it works perfectly fine when connected via the USB port to your PC (which would supply 5V and not go through the reg), it certainly points towards the regulator at least under performing...

An Arduino is a programmable microcontroller on a development board, and so it's use is for electronics projects and control/automation. A Raspberry Pi is a "full-fledged" computer that runs Linux, and can be used like a normal desktop PC (obviously, it's not a high performance tool), but can also be used to interface with other electronic systems using the GPIO pins (General Purpose Input/Output) to allow for more embedded solutions and electronics projects. Have a look through the official Raspberry Pi forums for an idea of what can be done with one TL;DR You can't use an Arduino as a computer, it's a microcontroller development board.

I don't think that the RPi would be suitable for this, as the encoding portion is CPU reliant and i doubt that a Pi would have enough oomph unfortunately...

They are, but component speakers are always better than their coaxial counterparts...

I think that the issue was that people were assuming that by "USB port" you meant a USB port on a motherboard, and not on a USB power device like a charger etc. There are some realistic concerns about power draw and efficiency whilst using a USB cable to transmit the power though. With my OnePlus6, testing USBA -> USBC cable that came with the phone compared to a generic cheap one, the internal resistance of the cheap cable was ridiculous... To the point where using the "dash" charger with the cheap cable only allowed the phone to say "charging slowly" (charging current <= 1A iirc) whereas the genuine cable said "charging rapidly" (~3A) People often overlook the cables in a project thinking that they will all do as well as each other (not always the case) Let me know what you decide in the end and how you get on though

I think that the basic takeaway for you here is that it will work, but there are much better and easier solutions to your problem out there. If you want to do the USB technique, go for it. If you want to do it in a way that is more efficient and makes more sense, see the posts above.

I think your best option here is to go back to the person that you bought it from at the school and get them to unlock the BIOS/reset the password for you. I had the same issue with a Laptop that i got from my old place of work, and this is the most simple solution. If everything is above board, they should be more than happy to oblige

I could be wrong here, but with the logo going out and fans stopping it sounds like the card is losing power... As for the reason why, I have no idea..

Looks like a custom made piece to me, but I could be wrong...

Cool project, and thanks for sharing the code Any chance of the make/model of the temp sensors that you used?

You could always use a usb to Ethernet adapter like the ones in this topic: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=152790 but for the combined costs you're getting closer to the cost of a full sized RPi...

The thing to remember with this is that soldering on a motherboard is hellish - so much heatsoak into the various layers of copper etc... probably not worth it IMO Really nice system though buddy

If i was in your shoes and struggling to find one, i'd probably just make one... Doesn't look like a complicated setup tbh...
