Development Boards Deals & Offers

Good point I might look into that

easiest is to download a prebuilt image from https://www.arcadepunks.com Good luck, its great fun. I set mine out with a full sized joystick and works great

How do you get on for drives, the last server i purchased could house several drives, in reality the Pi is just serving the purpose of board/processor etc, how do you interface drives and will this board power several 3.5 drives?

Thanks mate.

If you know your target devices (e.g. chromecasts for me) and have spare storage you can get plex to pre-emptively transcode media rather than doing it on the fly.

The Arduino course’s code has expired. Thanks anyway!

Thanks very much

I actually removed it as it was poster here. You can enroll https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-microsoft-excel-pivot-tables-and-pivot-charts/?couponCode=JULYFINAL https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/free-udemy-course-the-complete-microsoft-excel-pivot-tables-and-pivot-charts-3513517

Thank you

Nice one

Thank you.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Will look into trying it out on my Epson printer. Strangely it doesn't work on a laptop I have running Windows 8 (printing over wifi) but works on all my other devices

Anyone looking for Pi 4 - 4GB, looks like we got competing sellers on ebay resulting in a good price to offer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BNIB-Sealed-Raspberry-Pi-4-Model-B-4GB-RAM-REV-1-2-1st-Class-Signed-Royal-Mail/114284883943?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Uk-Genuine-Raspberry-Pi-4-Computer-Model-B-4GB-Ram/303615212018?epid=8034416404&hash=item46b0e079f2:g:ZKwAAOSwAIdfAiDU

Fair enough, but price and power aside, there's still something to be said about size...

I kind of see what some are saying about the usefulness of a Pi. I think that they do have their uses. It's horses for courses. I ran a small company website on an old Pi model b, 700mhz 512mb, and was fine for the low amount of traffic, made it's money back many times over in sales. Was ok with Kodi too (interface a bit slow must be better on new models), but playing videos etc worked flawlessly thanks to hardware decoding. It's since been used as a pi-hole ad blocker and VPN. I like the choice of Pi's on offer now, you can go as low spec or high as you want for your project. I'd probably go for the Pi W over this one personally, but maybe you don't need a network for some uses. Low power consumption is also a consideration.

Normally takes about 1 to 2 weeks to get stuff from China for me especially small letter post type stuff.

Do you have a link for the amazon one? Thanks

Just ordered off amazon got for 16.99 next day with prime hopefully get the stickers for cartride aswell but no mention on amazon

No problem Sunshine (y)

(y) Sure. Thanks for pointing at alternatives

I may have missed the link the first time. I personally wouldn’t bother with the Switch-copy. It’s a no-name one. When you buy cheap, you buy twice. If you consider the RG350 too expensive, then there are alternatives, such as Bittboy and others. Have a browse for reviews and comparisons online (y)

What is it you would like to do ? You can set up a camera (like I mentioned earlier) You can make a Freeview box / a way to receive DVB T2 streams to view on a monitor or over a network Or a cheap computer I haven't done anything fun or engaging, Ive put Kodi onto 1 I have, Ill be setting up a camera onto a Pimoroni and considering the DVB option. Raspberry pi foundation could be a start, loads of videos online or websites with instructions.

It was OOS for a very long time - since COVID pretty much, and it seems stick goes like hot cakes 🧁

Erm.. How is this a deal exactly? This is the standard price...

Can I anyone guide me to a source that has projects easy for someone with no programming background yet be fun and engaging?

Then this should be great. The video I linked does exactly that. What's great about these is they're updated and always adding features. Unlike the others that tend to be outdated quickly and rarely get updates. Hope all goes well for you

I don't think that's true, the ones without wireless do not cost more.

These guys dont give out cheap stuff and want to make a killl .better to order from big sellers who will ship cheaper and better... 3 pounds for shipping is the normal and they wont allow multiple orders...Only if amazon has these will there be more cheaper items. RAS 8 GB is almost 80 quid... 25 usd was orginal marketing offer and now its more than 5 times

He said "has", as in past tense. You can now find stock realitively easy like you've linked to now.

Not everywhere: https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-w

That's true. The wireless version has been out of stock everywhere for ages.

Chassis ;)

Oos

Chassis I think

"Requires a Raspberry PI and a chase" I'm sure you mean case

Pi Zero WH now available on pimoroni.com in case any one wants to club it with a Pi Zero.

Important life lesson, priorities.

Thanks, not sure the boy will be very happy when I kill his robot to watch the football...

Sounds great, hope it goes well.

Indeed, I'll build a robot first though: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/camjam-edukit-3-robotics-3469224

Thank you, it worked!

Yes, I got code too. Add bundle to basket and when you go to checkout and scroll down there is a banner which says you qualify for a bundle code, click it and the additional discount automatically applies making it £3.88. Thanks OP

I can’t seem to see the code (confused)

Thanks Christopher! I just ordered one along with a case.

If you don't mind paying a little bit more, there's a few WH versions around, e.g. https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-wh-with-pre-soldered-header I use a WH for Pi-Hole as that's all I could get my hands on at the time. Have it sitting in one of these cases behind the router - https://cpc.farnell.com/gothenburg-designs/110221b/metal-case-for-raspberry-pi-zero/dp/SC14486

Anyone know where I can get one of these at the moment? They seem to be OOS everywhere. My 3B is on its way out so I need a new board for pihole.

thanks (highfive)

Now that impressed me! Good job 👏

I had the same, you need to whitelist them. It s a process of selecting the 'go to deal' button while monitoring the 'query log' on the Pi Hole interface. Then whitelisting the ones that are blocked. You might have to press F5 (on PC) to refresh the 'query log' after clicking the button. This does mean you will allow some tracking but there is no easy way around this that I know.

I've just set up an old raspberry pi as a pihole. All seems to work well, but on of the issues I've encountered is that none of the links in HUKD (affiliate links) work anymore. Any advice on how to get this functionality back please?

Sure! I can boost your guest count to an all time high of one.

You sound like a barrel of laughs. Will you come to my next house party?

Pi Hole is a quick google My setup I'm afraid not I use dnsmasq which is part of the Pi hole script, Basically when I had Pi Hole working I went to Netflix and then looked at its address from the device I was watching on, and added this into a dnsmasq config file in the etc/dnsmasq folder with each adress going to a different IP (DNS Provider). I'm afriad it's a bit vague but it's not an easy thing to accomplish.

Awesome!! Thank you!

Thanks

Many thanks.

Thanks for posting.

Can’t, locked

Yip and me (confused)

Shows £3.99 for me

Go away

Amazon must have been doing some admin - its showing free now - thanks (y)

Cheers. The "C Programming for beginners on Windows" is coming up as £9.99. Says code is not valid. Otherwise good stuff. Thanks.

Thanks! 8)

Thanks for sharing - some really good courses and fir FREE which is a bonus (y)

Thank you
