LinuxCND: The Raspberry Pi that ships other Raspberry Pis – Pi Australia

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/11

Cool practical application of LinuxCNC: [Wayback/Archive] The Raspberry Pi that ships other Raspberry Pis – Pi Australia

[Wayback/Archive] LinuxCNC

LinuxCNC controls CNC machines. It can drive milling machines, lathes, 3D printers, laser cutters, plasma cutters, robot arms, hexapods, and more.

Power goes nuts – Network UPS Tools on a Raspberry Pi! – Jeff Geerlings -YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/17

Interesting NUT explanation: [Wayback/Archive] Save your servers! NUT on a Raspberry Pi! – YouTube.

Wonder how well it does with a combo of APC and Victron UPS systems.

Setting Up a Raspberry PI with a German Mac Keyboard – Seaside Testing

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/08

[Wayback/Archive] Setting Up a Raspberry PI with a German Mac Keyboard – Seaside Testing.

Reminder to self: figure out where parameters for /etc/default/keyboard are documented in case I want to use USB keyboards:

  • from other manufacturers than Apple
  • with other language layouts

GitHub – PiSCSI/piscsi: PiSCSI allows a Raspberry Pi to function as emulated SCSI devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, and others) for vintage SCSI-based computers and devices. This is a fork of the RaSCSI project by GIMONS.

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/08

Cool (and available both for regular Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Zero):

[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – PiSCSI/piscsi: PiSCSI allows a Raspberry Pi to function as emulated SCSI devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, and others) for vintage SCSI-based computers and devices. This is a fork of the RaSCSI project by GIMONS.

I wonder how it compares feature wise and performance wise to [Wayback/Archive] BlueSCSI (which is Raspberry Pi Pico based, see [Wayback/Archive] index – BlueSCSI v2 Documentation, and now has a [Wayback/Archive] BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Desk Accessory – joshua stein which is open source at [Wayback/Archive] jcs/wifi_da – BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Desk Accessory for classic Mac OS – AmendHub and important to for instance [Wayback/Archive] Adding Wi-Fi to the Macintosh Portable – joshua stein).

Some notes on mini/micro Apple //e emulators

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/01/30

Retro computing is wildly popular, and with the rise of low cost single-board computers (SBCs for short), both Apple //e and ][+ emulators plus extension cards have proliferated,  based on Raspberry Pi (or even their RP2040 microcontroller based Pico), ESP32 or predecessor ESP8266 microcontrollers and others.

Some links for my archive:
