I was speaking about getting in the mail soon my new microphone that is 3.5mm connector so I can plug it into the raspberry pi’s “headphone” jack (am I wrong it being a 3.5?)

Hrm. Looking at the specs, it’s a 3.5mm four-pole headphone and composite video jack. Four-pole suggests that it’s designed for headsets with a microphone. I’d want to try that to be sure, but… theoretically you could make it work if you have the right adapter. You’ll need something that will bypass the audio channels and connect to the mic contact.

The fact that it is a video out as well is still blowing my mind a bit.

@ArthurOff - It looks like an aspect ratio problem. You may want to try different videos or adjust the size of the module.

I’ve gotten away with 2.4A on a Raspberry Pi 3B+, but that’s riding the edge of acceptable.

Is this a Pi hat or an Arduino communicating back to the Pi?

It looks like the power traces lengthwise along the strip. If you gently pop the monitor out of the frame, you can probably identify where the contacts are supposed to meet up on the side of the monitor.

You may be able to use a very small dab of hot glue in the middle to keep it in place. Or one of the industrial boogers from a credit card offer. Power should follow the trace, so even if it has to go out a half millimeter, it should still conduct. Hold it down when you put it back into the frame, naturally.

It also looks like you only need that one trace from group to group. You could try bridging the pads on the monitor with a scrap piece of wire and see if that gives you power to the last 3rd of the monitor. If it work, solder the wire in and see if that give you your monitor back.

@iMAGiC - Is that a streaming picture of your aquarium, or did you mount the aquarium behind the glass?

You may have luck checking with the local school shop class and/or technical college. People learning how to use the tools can easily make the frame for a monitor. I’m not familiar with Norway’s educational system, but someone has to make furniture and they have to learn somewhere. Find them.

@BuckGup Try CTRL+ALT+T. That should open a terminal window.

@boppersnr said in AR for face - like snapchat filters:

Or maybe even take a video of you turning you head around 180 and then replaying the video alongside your real-time reflection so you can see what the back of your head looks like. Maybe useful for hair styling.

You could try the MMM-Selfieshot module.It gives you a configurable countdown before taking the photo. Start the countdown, turn around, wait for the photo and then turn around again.
