Hi guys,
can anyone tell me if this module still works? If yes, which gateway should I purchase to make sure I can view sensor data with the MM?

thanks

@plainbroke is there a particular reason why you use different instances of the same module instead of multiple streams in configuration (e.g. stream1, stream2, stream3, etc.)?

Thanks

buster is the Legacy image

What changes from the “normal” version?

@plainbroke said in Omxplayer and Bullseye:

I am currently using the latest Buster with 5 different rtsp cameras ( i use carousel) and I have no problems viewing them.

Do you use a module in particular to view the stream of the cameras or do you launch omxplayer outside the MM?

Thanks

@plainbroke said in Omxplayer and Bullseye:

Use sdetweil’s backupRestore module it makes it pretty easy to reinstall it all into a working order and it saves your config.js and custom.css very important in my case I do not want to ever go through all the hours spent trial and error testing to get my mirror the way I wanted it…

Thanks @plainbroke for the advise and thanks @sdetweil for creating the script.

I will install on a new MicroSD Buster and test the operation.

@sdetweil thanks

@wishmaster270 said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

If you want to power the Pi via USB instead be sure to connect the Ground of the strip with ground of the pi.

The GPIO ground or the power ground going into USB-C?

thanks

@bhepler said in PIR sensor to turn on LED strip:

The reason is that the output of the RPi can drive a handful of LEDs, but the Pi only has so much power flowing through it (specs say 50mA). Powering the LEDs separately will let the Pi handle the logic and the power supply handle the… well, power.

Thanks @bhepler I understood that the LEDs must be powered by an external 5V because the RPI generates a few mA and is not able to turn on an LED strip, but from the photo you can see that the external 5V (+ and -) also goes in parallel on the 5V in exit from the RPI.

For what reason?
Is this connection necessary (I no longer have 5V available on GPIO …)?

Thank you very much

@sdetweil in fact mine was a joke!

So which OS does the least damage?

Windows?! 🤣
