The best low power display? E-Paper Tutorial
In this video I will show you how commercial E-Paper displays work and how we can control them easily with an Arduino development board. Along the way we will discover their advantages and disadvantages and compare them to traditional TFT LCDs. Let’s get started!
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.

NordVPN confirms it was hacked
NordVPN, a virtual private network provider that promises to “protect your privacy online,” has confirmed it was hacked.
The admission comes following rumors that the company had been breached. It first emerged that NordVPN had an expired internal private key exposed, potentially allowing anyone to spin out their own servers imitating NordVPN.
VPN providers are increasingly popular as they ostensibly provide privacy from your internet provider and visiting sites about your internet browsing traffic. That’s why journalists and activists often use these services, particularly when they’re working in hostile states. These providers channel all of your internet traffic through one encrypted pipe, making it more difficult for anyone on the internet to see which sites you are visiting or which apps you are using. But often that means displacing your browsing history from your internet provider to your VPN provider. That’s left many providers open to scrutiny, as often it’s not clear if each provider is logging every site a user visits.
How to use Excel to Animate LEDs! Arduino + WS2812 LEDs
I actually just created this excel utility to help create some cool animations for a Halloween costume… It just generates the function calls to set the bytes properly in the LED array.
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.
GreatScott!’s DIY “Powerwall”
If you’ve thought about installing solar power equipment, one of the most important parts is a battery system that enables you to use harvested energy as you need it, not necessarily as it arrives. One such solution is a Tesla Powerwall, with a price tag of $7,600 for each unit. This was a bit too high for YouTuber GreatScott!, and after using a lead acid battery for some time, he found that the capacity had decreased, leading him to explore other options.
