Opensprinkler pi port6/18/2023 ![]() * One runs a very simple time series database and is the collector for IOT type devices that are sending various bits of information (energy use, temp, humidity, particulate levels, etc) That lets me debug from anywhere without burning a USB port or adding additional software. * One sits on my electronics workbench and runs OpenOCD and allows BlackMagic Probes to export GDB as a service over the network. * One runs RasPBX and talks to the VOIP phone that is my home "business" line. This because I got tired of both the reflection attacks and trying to manage ntp access from inside the house to outside. * One is a stratum-1 time server using an Adafruit GPS module with PPS output. * One running a PiDP-11 (pdp 11/70 emulator) as well as providing MOP service to boot my DEC terminal multiplexor (it provides the boot image when the mux comes up) ![]() * Pie-hole and runs Nagios to collect information about things going on inside the network. Youtuber VersatileNinja recently published a detailed video on ( ) if anyone is interested in taking it for a spin. This feature also works on Nintendo Switch and PSP with a bit of extra work. I learned that there are usually a hundred or so people in South America who play Halo 2 using Xlink Kai and this makes it very easy to connect to them for lag free multiplayer on original hardware. I added some additional support for Xlink Kai so that you can play LAN enabled games over the Pi’s WiFi connection by plugging a compatible game console into the Ethernet port of the Pi or by connecting to an access point that is auto created when a secondary WiFi dongle is attached to the Pi. Using the same technique, games can also be streamed to PlayStation 3 and original Xbox. It -also supports auto mounting and sharing of external drives to allow for seamless drive swapping if you have a large library. This allows for seamless playback of games with heavy Full Motion Video sequences as the Ethernet transmission is faster than the max throughput of the USB2.0 ports provided on the PlayStation 2. I use a Raspberry Pi to stream PlayStation 2 backups over SMB by networking the onboard Ethernet port of the Pi to allow access to a Samba Share service running on the Pi.
