Setting up the IMX462 CSI-2 camera on Raspberry Pi is simple and well documented on our wiki pages. The exact steps vary slightly depending on the Raspberry Pi model, but all follow a similar pattern. Raspberry Pi 4 uses a 15-pin CSI connector, so a 15-to-22 pin FFC cable is needed to connect the camera. […]

With the introduction of motorized zoom lenses, the next logical step was matching the sensor board. Sure there are countless suitable sensors from various manufacturers like Sony semiconductors, Onsemi, Aptina, and many more. But lack of good support from the SOC side suggested starting from IMX477. It is a reasonably modern 12M image sensor used […]
Read MoreNode-RED for rapid hardware wiring
I will be posting few interesting follow-up posts that are based on tool for wiring together hardware devices called Node-RED. This post will serve as a reference how to prepare Raspberry Pi and install dependencies. Besides usual IoT stuff (sensor serving, data collection, aggregation and decision making) I see great opportunity to use node-red in rapid […]
Read MoreNew Raspberry Pi enclosure
This is short announcement about changed Raspberry Pi enclosure revision. Revision was changed from revC to revF. Now it is slimmer, more secure and redesigned for Raspberry Pi 3 in mind while maintaining compatibility with previous versions. Also note few missing revisions – these were custom made ones I can’t publish. What’s the difference? […]
Read MoreRaspberry Pi B 3 is compatible with current enclosure
Raspberri Pi foundation recently released new credit card sized computer which is named Raspberry Pi B 3. I am glad to see some neat improvements like faster CPU, 64 bit architecture and embedded WiFi. Also good news are that main mechanical properties are left unmodified. See details below what I found after fitting PCBA into […]
Read MoreRaspberry Pi – setup for power safe operation
About Raspberry Pi is pretty famous for eating SD cards. While this can be annoying when it acts as media player, it can be costly and time consuming operation to replace when installed in remote location. If we assume that SD card is branded and good quality, most dangerous thing that could happen is unexpected […]
