Question of the Day: What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?
Your Raspberry Pi Projects
- Thread starter Bar0n
- Start date
According to a reply to this exact query in the comments to the release article on the Raspberry Pi website, they did a lot of testing of these micro-hdmi ports to ensure ruggedness. Apparently they also have extra strong fastenings or whatever it's called. (Sorry I can't link to the comment - there are over 300 and I read it 2 days ago)
Also in comments of that release article - confirmed boot from USB will be possible but waiting for software / firmware update. (Apparently they now have an EFI type BIOS? That'll be useful)
Anybody remember the name of the Pishop.co.za guy? He's posted in this thread before. Anyway, if you see this - any estimate on how long it'll take ICASA to certify the Pi 4? The all-in-one wifi/bt module should already be certified from the 3B+, right? Shouldn't need to be redone. That's why they made it modular.
I don't see it on arrow.com yet. Maybe I'm not looking properly?
Anyway, pishop's prices seem reasonable. Under 600 for the 1GB and 900 odd for the 4GB. (Preview pricing I guess)
I spoke to somebody named Henry once!
lol, he has an actual account on the forum. Just can't remember the name. Maybe it's just pishop. HEY, that works. @PiShop see above please? My query regarding eta for ICASA certification for Pi 4.
Yeah, not on arrow.com as yet. May take a few days or weeks or more. I used them a couple of years back for the Pi3 that was on special at $25 and they had free shipping, and customs and clearance via Fedex/DHL. Was an amazing deal, I could have bought a few more. They made an error with invoicing (people who paid via paypal iirc) and as an apology for sending out demand for payment they sent out the PiW completely free to those affected.
I have had a few more orders with them including an oscilloscope last year (customs clearances costs are now payable by recipient) and just recently they put in a minimum of $50 for free shipping.
So yeah, pishop looks pretty good.
I like them
I have ordered from them five times already, no issues. Busy building up my 6th order now.

I wouldn't know how to use it but looks good. I will also get rid of my stuff soon.
I can only afford Big Jims as well.
I just had to mention that at Game you can get the 32cm box (without compartments) for R20 until Sunday! I emptied my local branch but I might go back for more.

My zeroshell firewall on a pi3 b+ with loadbalacing and failover between RAIN and TelkomLTE
I must check this out. Thanks

Tip: do not configure a default gateway on the lan/management network
Do you have a link or something on how you set this up?

I used this this link, but it is bit of trial and error. (Used GNS3 as a testbed before going to the Pi )
Tip: do not configure a default gateway on the lan/management network (this 1 had me stumped for a while)

This is perhaps a silly question, but how do you put this in?
Does it just join the network and become the gateway? or does it need multiple ethernet ports?

I have 2 usb ethernet ports on it connected to the RAIN and Telkom routers. The LAN is connected to the Pi ethernet port. And yes it becomes the gateway/dhcp server/dns server on the lan.
This is cool, I might need another Pi 3 now

I'm waiting for the Pi4 to upgrade my mediaserver/download manager
