Yeah it’s great if the screen works and you can get it there. But if your repair claim is “panel dead” like mine…ugh.

@geektoolkit that is understandable, but not good for you. My claim is for the loose antenna input socket.

I own two CRTs so maybe? lol

Why so boo?

Thanks for reporting on this. One of the hard parts of when we are reviewing is we typically get the unit before its publicly available, and I don't often know what support will be like or what accessories will be available yet. In the future though I'll make sure to ask and get some statements from the companies, but the sad part is if they don't honor them there isn't much recourse (I had one company tell me they'd provide an accessory that they indefinitely delayed). I've been turning down laser reviews because of things like this....I never want someone to buy on a review and end up in a bad spot. I'm sorry to hear yours is in that shape...mines still be good, but it's hard to know if it's a one off for mfg or if the products truly got quality issues. Support however, I'm disappointed to hear that and will keep that in mind in the future.

I have no artificial limits. You can add as many as the pi allows, but keep in mind that playlist system only works one folder deep. It’s not pi5…yet. We are working on it. It’s a one time $5 fee, you can cancel after one month if you want. We don’t revoke the software or anything

@@geektoolkit thanks for the fast reply , any ETA on pi 5 ? since it is what i have currently . Thanks

@gegamora761 no ETA yet. It’s been…a challenge and we are doing what we can. They change alot of things that affect the pro version of the software

@@geektoolkit well i guess i have to get a pi 4 then , thanks for the fast replies.

I'm not sure honestly, I've not used smartthings. I would check the amazon app store if you already have a fire tablet to see if it's there, but if not, I'd try to avoid an amazon tablet for something like this just so you can have full control over it. I moved houses and the next time I do this I'm going to go for either a cheap android tablet (or used one) or something else similar

I suspect infill also what was it sitting on? That’s the thing I found to be more important. For instance concrete over grass matters

Hey neighbor! I’m hoping to retry this year with a PLA+ and different colors and infills. Though I kinda hope w done get quite that hot and have a nice summer!

Thankyou! One thing about this video that I appreciate is there are some great comments with other ideas such as using old towels that are really informative too. As useful as this video may have been as an experiment, the comments are I'd argue even better!

One Gnome is still going strong, but he's currently in shade. The other designs didn't outlast my daughter playing with them in the yard, or a move that I had to do, so I lost the data. I'm going to retry doing this hopefully for this summer. The comments section is full of good info on this video however of peoples experiences...it seems that infill and color is important. Also, pla+ is available for a much more reasonable amount now and may be a good balance.

I did! This was years ago. But thankyou!

joe at geek-toolkit dot com is an email you can reach out to

For sure! There’s so many factors. Infill I believe also affects it but …wait….you printed a frieking blackbird and flew it?!?!?!? That’s AMAZINGLY cool!!!!!!

Yay! Yeah I was surprised when I made it at the lack of home based ideas. One that I've implemented recently that's been helpful is in the bins I now use gallon storage bags labeled with a sharpee. Inexpensive, easy, and it allows me to seperate say video cables into 'hdmi, vga, dvi' and such. Same for USB (I was having a huge problem managing usb-c, Micro, charging vs. data, etc). Hope you have a great lab update!

The OS/image is provided, and so we support the OS the image is based on. It's similar to an appliance. You write the sd card, boot it and go. The OS we're based on right now is Buster, and we're working to update to Bookworm in the next month or so so we can support the pi5. Pi4 versions are all supported

​@@geektoolkit Right now, is impossible to run Buster on Raspberry Pi 4 rev. 1.5. The problem is start4.efi and board witch need newer software.

@@kwoo_221 ah. Wasn’t aware of that we hadn’t hit it yet. We are heads down working on bookworm support so we hope to have that soon

@@geektoolkit I appreciate the information. You will announce compatibility with Bookworm on UA-cam video?

FYI: For my application, I created a trigger to have a spotlight on me when the webcam is triggered. That way I have more light on my face and will also know when I'm on the camera. I also noticed that 10 seconds intervals are slightly too slow so 5 seconds is better.

I think I just peeled it if I recall, it’s been a few years. The edges of the cut square were sharp, I do recall that

For pro there’s one on the Patreon. Outside of that they’re isn’t an install video, it’s supplied as a raspberry pi image. Any video about how to use galena etcher to write a file to an sd card is relevant there

Ok. I’ll find it there once I have my screen up and ready.

I don't see why it wouldn't. You'll want to run conduit through the wall to put the cable through. This video is a bit old so I'd check on the size/style of the modern cables to make sure the conduit is thick enough. I don't know the fire code in Germany, there may be other building things that are needed, or less than in the US. You may want to check with an electrician or check local codes just to verify. I'm not an authority on the subject, just a guy that bought a TV and got excited :) Greetings from US, loved my visits to Germany!

It turns out PLA doesn’t last a three eyear old daughter’s wrath…

If you’re tricky with an SDR you can intercept and decode it. Here’s a video that explains it..ua-cam.com/video/vRO9zzrlbPI/v-deo.htmlsi=DJWNQCfJy2PJ5VA2

Only if the weather station has a way home assistant can talk to it. That’s the key. But yes! Of the weather station has an api or an integration then you’re good to go!

@@geektoolkit I'm looking at the Wittboy from Ecowitt, which does have such an option.

Not sure what you mean...Dynaframe pro is meant for Raspberry pi 4s. Its a 'pick one up, join patreon, download image and connect to a TV' setup currently. It's not licenseable for commercial yet...if you're looking for a commercial display solution I'd look at alibabba for hardware that would stand up to commercial use

@@geektoolkit sorry i misunderstood a bit of the video, i have never built anything like this or plan to use anything comercialy i was just curious but i did sign up to Patreon. I would love something like this but have never used a Raspberry Pi or anything

@@andystewart9405Oh you're in luck! get a raspberry pi 4 and we'll help you get the software loaded on. the patreon intro has documents of what you need and we're ther eto support you!

@@geektoolkit i will order one from PiHut today i would love to do this for my daughter

No it’s meant for raspberry pi computers at this time

Yes!!! I loved the “under construction” gifs and the counters! Guest books…so fun. We have lost a lot of that fun!

@@geektoolkit right! Page counters and animated gift in their infancy. It was new, exciting, and fun! Especially having time to explore and play before... adulting 😝 lol

@@kevinmccartney4906 I was just talking to someone today about how I miss having time to do things that were just...exploring. I remember typing in random websites of companies to see if they existed and what they put there. Hmm...does Disney have a site yet? What about Toyota? What about Donkey Kong? And what blows me away is how many domains I tried that weren't up yet! Or how many companies just didn't know what to do with the internet thing. I recall alot of them listed thier phone numbers lol! Such a fun time ineed...before adulting.

Pretty amazing to think about the world before the net was ubiquitous! Thanks for reminiscing, good memories!!

Glad it was helpful! Keep in mind it’s a bit old so some of the options and sites may be down but hopefully it gives you some starting points

It’s a frustrating hole that Harmony has left and I hope someone cracks the code soon

For the initial programming it requires the cloud and then anything you add requires it unless you’re learning another remote via IR learning from what I can tell

Those were 2 27” dell monitors I think, then I upgraded to 2 32” Vizio TVs. Now I’m building wooden frames around them and going a different way, though I see people building 3 50” tvs into digital walls and that’s..intriguing… :)

Bookworm is too recent but we are working hard on transitioning!

Thankyou! Please keep in mind it’s quite a few years old and some of this may have changed
