ULTIMATE RetroPie Guide: (Tips For Beginner’s With Pictures)

In this post I’ll go over what I would consider to be the most important aspects to know while building your very own RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi as it’s not all as straight forward as you may think.

There are many posts out on the net describing just how to setup a RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi but I notice that most of them take you through the obvious, generic setup steps without going in to too much detail about any issues you may come across along the way..

After spending three solid months of building my SD card image and creating my very own kit, I came across some unforeseen hurdles along the way and I would like to share with you my experiences and problems and how I overcome them.

Turn Your Raspberry Pi 4 Into A Steam Link Device – Play PC Games On The Pi4

In this video, I show you how to install set up and configure the steam link app on your Raspberry pi 4! With the edition of true gigabit ethernet, the pi4 is smoother than ever streaming games using Steam Link.
This will allow you to stream your favorite Steam games from your gaming PC directly to the Pi 4! Keep in mind this works much better over ethernet but if you must go wireless make sure you connect to a 5ghz connection.

Raspberry Pi 3 vs Raspberry Pi 4 Performance with TensorFlow, TF Lite, & Coral USB Accelerator

Have you wondered how much faster the Raspberry Pi 4 performs than the Raspberry Pi 3 at running computationally intensive TesnorFlow object detection models?
This video gives a performance comparison between the Pi 3B+ and the Pi 4 4GB, showing what framerate is achieved when running TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite SSD-MobileNet detection models.
It also shows how much faster the models run when using Google’s Coral USB Accelerator.

Raspberry Pi Ham Radio Remote – Reviewed

One problem with ham radio these days is that most hams live where you can’t put a big old antenna up due to city laws and homeowner covenants. If you’re just working local stations on VHF or UHF, that might not be a big problem. But for HF usage, using a low profile antenna is a big deal. However, most modern radios can operate remotely. Well-known ham radio company MFJ now has the RigPi Station Server and [Ham Radio DX] has an early version and did a review.

As the name implies, the box contains a Raspberry Pi. There’s also an audio interface. The idea is to consolidate rig control along with other station control (such as rotators) along with feeding audio back and forth to the radio. It also sends Morse code keying to the radio. The idea is that this box will put your radio on the network so that you operate it using a web browser on a PC or a mobile device.
