Raspberry Pi 5

1. coffee_time

   1 1 7 2.7 Elixir

   Espresso Machine Application

   

   The processing unit in my espresso machine died and was back ordered for 4 months, so raspberry pi to the rescue!

   Is that much processing power necessary? Not even a little, but hey now it hosts its own web UI (local network only).

   Firmware (Elixir, nerves): https://github.com/benwilson512/coffee_time/blob/a49814e5d8a...

2. Nutrient

   www.nutrient.io featured

   Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers. Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

   

3. OctoPrint

   2 223 8,480 7.7 Python

   OctoPrint is the snappy web interface for your 3D printer!

   

   - Two LibreELEC (https://libreelec.tv/) mediaplayers in house (yes, one is not enough in my big family).

   - One for hosting low usage applications at home network (Unifi controller and some more).

   - Octoprint (https://octoprint.org) connected to the 3d-printer.

   - One on my desk for hardware hacking – mostly as just a PC with GPIO.

   - Some Raspberry Pi Zeros as security cameras.

4. LibreELEC.tv

   3 124 2,390 10.0 Makefile

   Just enough OS for KODI

5. sbc-reviews

   4 2 724 7.9 Python

   Jeff Geerling's SBC review data - Raspberry Pi, Radxa, Orange Pi, etc.

   

   And a bunch more test data: https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/issues/21

6. log2ram

   5 51 2,720 5.3 Shell

   ramlog like for systemd (Put log into a ram folder)

   

   Reducing logging, logging to ram and writing to the sdcard once a day helps longevity a lot, especially with quality sd cards.

   99% of the time it's the verbose logging of application servers that is the culprit of sdcard failures.

7. Framework-Laptop-13

   6 15 1,659 4.6 OpenSCAD

   Documentation for the Mainboard and other modules in the Framework Laptop 13

   

   You can also buy mainboards[1] and expansion cards[2] (usb-c, hdmi etc.) from the same website. Depending on how beefy of a computer you want there are mainboards from 299 USD to 700 USD. So for ~500 USD you can get a very powerful tiny-ish computer. It obviously won't have the IO capabilities of pi-like hobby boards but it'll function great as a thin client for running linux / home automation stuff.

8. linux

   7 81 11,484 10.0 C

   Kernel source tree for Raspberry Pi-provided kernel builds. Issues unrelated to the linux kernel should be posted on the community forum at https://forums.raspberrypi.com/ (by raspberrypi)

   

   I see that the PR against the Raspberry Pi linux repo is out [0]. Interestingly they are introducing a BCM2712 defconfig with a 64k default page size.

10. FullPageOS

    8 14 4,016 5.9 Shell

    A raspberrypi distro to display a full page browser on boot

    

    Great! I'm looking forward to getting a few of these. I currently have five Raspberry Pis running in my house, mainly for dashboards:

    * Zigbee2MQTT in a closet in the middle of the house

    * FullPageOS [1] dashboard on my bedroom TV

    * FullPageOS dashboard on our living room TV

    * FullPageOS dashboard in my office

    * RetroPie running emulators and video screensaver on a CRT TV in my workshop

11. Open and cheap DIY IP-KVM based on Raspberry Pi

    9 152 8,733 9.0

    Open and inexpensive DIY IP-KVM based on Raspberry Pi

    

    I've been using one for https://pikvm.org/ and it's been a rare case of "the Raspberry Pi is neither ridiculously overpowered or ridiculously underpowered or beat out by any off the shelf solution, let alone at the same price point". It's literally the best IP KVM I've ever used or owned. The use case is almost a perfect match for the exact hardware capabilities of the Pi: hardware encoding, video input, gigabit network (with Wi-Fi alternative, which has saved me a few times), GPIO, USB OTG, the hat system, open source web KVM software which doesn't suck ass and sit untouched for 13 years with endless security vulnerabilities piling up.

12. rpi-albumart

    10 1 0 10.0 Rust

    Show album art for the current track and total scrobbles from Last.fm on a very cute computer. Uses the Rocket web framework + Tera for templates, all in Rust.

    I’ve got one of mine showing album art for music I’m playing[1], one with an e-ink display that shows which subways are leaving soon near me, one running Homebridge for a variety of sensors[2], one for WireGuard and Pi-Hole, and one to run Klipper/Mainsail for my 3D printer. I guess these are all tinkering as well but they’ve basically been running 24/7 for a few years now!

    Indoor environment monitoring on a Raspberry Pi with HomeKit integration. I²C, SPI, UART, GPIO, MQTT. Node.js, Python (and MicroPython!), Arduino, C, C++. (by aaronhktan)

14. firmware

    12 50 5,268 8.6 C

    This repository contains pre-compiled binaries of the current Raspberry Pi kernel and modules, userspace libraries, and bootloader/GPU firmware.

    

    But oddly enough, they don't support some screen resolutions: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1202#issuecom...

15. fpp

    13 10 607 9.8 C++

    Falcon Player

    

    I run my Christmas light show software (https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp) with a Pi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlxaA-ca6S0 :)
