Thank you @saveitforparts for another awesome video! Stayed glued to the screen all 10:04 😅. FYI got inspired to install a cell phone booster after watching your channel. Was a successful install.
That low voltage warning usually means that the power supply you are using is not providing enough current. For most raspberry pi boards v3B and up you need a 2.5 to 3 amp 5v supply. That should solve the warning. I bought a 3 amp supply and have not seen that message again.
Also worth noting is that if the USB cord you are using is particularly thin copper then it will also drop the voltage as the PI uses more amps, thus triggering the Pi's brownout "low voltage" warning. Using a decent brand usb cable will avoid that issue with a sufficient Power brick of 5v3a
the raspberry pi low voltage thing is usually because the detection is looking for 5.2V but everything will supply 5.2V-ish. Once the pi pulls the voltage it drops a little and rounds down. Typically not an issue but if you are doing something high power try to supply it with 5.5V or more
Ultimaker Cura lets you cut STLs right in the slicer. You can make large items into 2 pieces and also add pegs/holes to glue back together. Really helps with small printer beds. I also had Pi's give me Low Voltage warnings. The only way I got rid of it was to drop the USB power supply. I now inject 5V straight into the GPIO using a 10A supply (which powers 2 pi's).
The main culprits tends to be cheap and/or long usb cables as they tend to have too thin wires to carry the current without significant voltage drop. This is of course given that your power supply can actually supply the needed current itself without voltage drop.
Nice score! I like Elecrow's products. That raspi low power warning is annoying. Beware it can cause crashes - if you run into weird issues consider powering the pi from a 5v 3A power supply instead. Usually you can fudge it until you use a ton of CPU horsepower. That's when they tend to buckle on the lower amperage supplies.
Awesome! Can't wait to see your next dish project. I have the same Carryout dish and have removed the original boards and replaced them with an arduino and cnc shield running the satnogs code. I have it connected to my PC running Gpredict and am able to control the dish with gpredict. Still need to work out the steps per setting for the steppers somehow so it will actually point to the exact location requested.
Keep in mind when making a positioning system to keep things in balanced. It makes it easier on the motors rather than working to lift an entire weight
The middle beard isn’t centered with the nose and it’s making me twitch 😛😛. I don’t think I’ll ever be versed enough to build one of these safelite receivers but I sure am envious of your skill
I have previously made a directional WiFi antenna out of a Dish Network dish. Maybe you can do that with an RV dish. Though doing so might require altering the dish to mount at a 90 degree angle rather than the stock angle.
I did a little system for showing the elevation angle of our big dish, and it used a similar touchscreen. I ended up installing one of the OSK (On Screen Keyboard) packages. I recall I installed Ubuntu 20.04 and it's an Atomic PI for the compute module--I got a handful of them cheap a couple of years ago.
Nice! I do like messing around with little gadgets like this. I just need to do better at making them more robust and permanently mounted instead of a tangle of wires.
7:50 maybe u could try to use an official power adapter. The warning might seems harmless...but it's really annoying for high consumption tasks. The cpu clock speed would be slowed down so bad that it would usually be unstable for running your project...
You should build your cyberdeck like that... Using the Rpi cos it's running Linux and it's power efficient and the touchscreen which makes it very useful. Cheers from Romania 🍺
I use the pliers and screwdriver and scissors probably more than the actual knife blade. If I need to seriously stab some things I have some old kitchen knives in the garage :-P
How exactly does the touch screen interface with the pi? Does it just see it as a normal mouse? I'm wondering if i could use this on Android. My phone supports HDMI out and USB mouse and keyboard inputs natively. Only other thing I'm not sure of is calibration. Id love to use this built into the dash of my ambulance to replace my current radio.
I'm not sure if it just works as a USB mouse, I didn't try it on any other devices. I know their other little screen I tested seemed to send regular position commands over USB.
Sucks their screen isn't for sale yet... I went to the page. Oh well. Waste of advertising dollars. On to the next shiny thing. *Sees a squirrel and runs off in pursuit*
I've played around with it a little, the free channels seem to need a bigger dish than you normally find in the US. I also couldn't find much worth watching, most of it is foreign sports and random religions and Russian propaganda.
Ever since I’ve been watching your videos on these small dishes all I’m thinking about is war driving setting one up for scanning Internet do you know get all of those free Wi-Fi spotWould one of those dishes be good for that I’m wondering
@@saveitforparts I live in Newfoundland so they’re a little bit harder to come by but soon as I get one I’ll give it a shot myself thanks for the reply almost done watching the new jet boat episode I had to go back and watch the other episodes but I can’t wait to see it in the water keep up the good work you’re awesome
Get another raspberry pi and two usb wifi dongles and connect one pi to the monitor and one to directly to the satellite dish. Then use ssh to remote into the satellite pi.

we really need dereksgc and saveitforparts collab
Can't wait for the next part of this! I love watching your radio/satellite stuff
I gotta recommend making the mount somewhat detachable. It is better for maintenance and such. But honestly you got this. You are a champion.
I love your cat, they're so adorable!
that sliding mount is genius i need this
Love the advances in tinkering.
Gonna make a bada$$ addition to that new cyberdeck. What a huge screen bezel.
The Elecrow Software Engineer is named 'Light'.
If I read that right...what a cool name!

also take into account amperage, kinda forgot that lmao

New to this channel and absolutely loving it. Thank you for posting so often!
I like that Elecrow screen. I am on their website right now, might have to beg to my wife to let me get some new toys.

Look at you livin the dream lol. Thats super groovy man. Love that sdr stuff, its real interesting.
A very nice display, I already have a few ideas once the Raspberry Pi is available again at a reasonable price.
I have that same Dell Key board so now it looks like I have to get one of the displays. 😄
I have previously made a directional WiFi antenna out of a Dish Network dish. Maybe you can do that with an RV dish. Though doing so might require altering the dish to mount at a 90 degree angle rather than the stock angle.
I am sooo looking forward to the rv sat dish shinaniganz and would love to build a similar system for myself. Keep up the good work bud!
Nice video i think the screen being seperate from the rotation of the dish would much easier for scanning.

What an exciting cat video!
Was think of putting a esp32 board to a dish , wonder if it work
Great video 😊 thxY
I'd be interested to know if the screen emits EMI because the last one I tested for a mobile SDR application was so noisy it made the radio unusuable
that is looking so cool!
Pi in (conection with) the sky
aww I wanted a video about the cat tho
increible graciasss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice review
wow show us more like that
I'll be doing more with this project in the fall, summer is too busy with boat stuff!
Handy Dandy!
Great video...👍
You're really going full-time in on this RUclips thing aren't ya‽
Nice interrobang usage!
I'd love to go more full-time with it, but I do still have a day job :-P
nice video, I am all about a good multi tool but you need to get a proper pocket knife. Maybe a Spyderco PM3 or a Buck 110 Auto.
I use the pliers and screwdriver and scissors probably more than the actual knife blade. If I need to seriously stab some things I have some old kitchen knives in the garage :-P
Kitty is trying to tell you ALL videos should be cat-related.
thanks for the sub, bud! Also cute cat!
I can’t find the most important screen parameter, its brightness! Is it possible to see something on it outside under the sun?
I didn't try it outside, but that would be good to know! I'll have to check that when I get back to the dish project.
4:26 Elecrow velcro?
fluffychin! how are you, cat.

how's that cyberdeck you built? does that cop car computer run the linux distro you picked properly?
Yep, the computer still works great. The side panel is starting to fall apart a little bit, I need to re-secure that with some JB weld or something!
@@saveitforparts that's cool, when i saw that video, i thought it was so cool that i felt like building my own as well
Send to back in time information possible?
Dude that cat is HUGE, what breed is it
She's mostly made of hair, she's not actually that big under all the floof 😹
I think the tablet should stay stationary for ease of use.
Sucks their screen isn't for sale yet... I went to the page. Oh well. Waste of advertising dollars. On to the next shiny thing.

hello
Get another raspberry pi and two usb wifi dongles and connect one pi to the monitor and one to directly to the satellite dish. Then use ssh to remote into the satellite pi.
Cats make videos better and get upvotes. Especially when they aren't cat videos.
Is it possible to “hack” a satellite to get free internet even though extremely slow?
Lets go!
