This my final post before writing the review. I’ve struggled up to this point to deliver on the objectives in my application. Well I am happy to report I was successful with wrangling the SDR part of the Red Pitaya into what I promised, a radio...
Hailo-8L Thermal Logging
The Hailo-8L module that I have is an extended temperature version with an industrial operating temperature range (-40C to 85C).
Part Number: HM21LB1C2LAEProduct Name: HAILO-8L AI ACC M.2 B+M KEY MODULE EXT TMP
It has two tem...
Recall from an earlier post, that I had ordered and then reordered a case for the Red Pitaya. The first case ordered from a local supplier, wasn’t compatible with the RoadTest unit. It would have been nice if compatibility was mention...
In my previous CM5 RoadTest articles I covered the initial setup of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 and the installation and testing of the RTL-SDR. The next step was to try SDR++, one of the more versatile SDR applications available for Linux. A...
It's amazing that almost exactly 2 years ago, I had posted Using an RPi Camera Module 3 with the RPi5 AI Kit. At that time I was waiting for the Hailo-8L capability to be added to Frigate NVR application, so that I could replace the Coral U...
I combined the thermal and power logging programs from the previous blog into a single program, cm5_power_temp_logger.py.
I also examined the Frigate API to see what type of statistics were accessible through that interface.
I think th...
SPOILER ALERT: The Red Pitaya powers down if the USB-micro connection on the module is used.
On of my troubleshooting attributes that can be either a blessing or a curse depending on the horse, is that I am persistent. In a previous post I used the t...
Simple exercise use the oscilloscope to display the signal generator. I'm not spending a lot of time here. This was not part of my application pitch. Just getting the unit configured (i.e. OS and network) has had it challenges. I'm taking thi...
Up to this point in my data collection posts for the kit, I've recorded little success. Knowing this device has both an oscilloscope and waveform generator I thought maybe I might find some wins in sampling those. Get the pun, sample, oscilloscop...
My meaning of "beating a dead horse" is wasting time and energy on an task, that cannot be changed.
My objective was to load the operating systems into the QSPI & eMCC module and eliminate the need for an SD card. A procedure to accompl...
I've discovered that the documentation is significantly behind the product supplied for this RoadTest. I would have liked to provide the resource I discovered that my fellow RoadTester could use and not have to visit the dead end rabbit warrens t...
System boot
Now that Linux is installed, it's time for the first boot. I'm using a Joy-IT RB-LCD10 touchscreen monitor with a resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels. During startup, the system asks for several configuration parameters, including the l...
I've experienced some challenges since I last wrote.
I'm about eight hours invested over the last few days and wanted to share my experience in the hope others can avoid the frustrations I've experienced.
FIRST:
The case I purc...
Thermal Tests continued
I had forgotten to mention in my previous post that after the roadtest benchmarking is complete that I still want to monitor thermal and power parameters on the Frigate NVR. To that end, I'm going to create MQTT sens...
The RoadTest for the equipment for the Red Pitaya STEMlab 125-14 PRO Gen 2 Starter Kit got off to a poor start. The equipment was delivered the week after the schedule indicated reviews were to be completed.
This review will be delayed. I don&#...
My objective for this roadtest is to evaluate the performance of the CM5 IO Development kit in implementing a Frigate NVR for my home security cameras.
This is the description in my Roadtest Application:
" I currently run a home automa...
Hardware is put together and ready to install and configure the OS firmware and install and configure the Frigate Docker container. The CM5 in the roadtest uses eMMC rather than an SD card for storage so the process is slightly different using ...
Introduction
Flashing an operating-system image to the Compute Module 5 is slightly different from what you may be used to with a traditional Raspberry Pi. With a regular Raspberry Pi, the usual procedure is to write Raspberry Pi OS to a microSD card...
After a long wait, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Development Kit finally arrived at my desk, ready for its road test.My proposed plan is to test the Compute Module 5 with Software Defined Radio (SDR), using both RTL-SDR and Ettus Research USRP B2...
For my RoadTest review of the CM5 I am building a remote dog feeder. I am planning to use a pair of CSI (Camera Serial Interface) cameras, which are still in transit. After my unboxing post, I thought it would be wroth while to run thr...
I finally received my CM5 Development kit for the roadtest, so I thought I'd get started assembling it.
Unboxing
Not much exciting about the shipping package, so I'll get right to the good stuff.
There were two boxes included, the...
To keep myself accountable, I thought it best to blog my progress with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Development Kit before doing a full RoadTest review. My roadtest plan was to build a remote-control dog feeder that, with a bit of...
I have looked at many examples, blogs and websites to try to get an output from an SSD1306 OLED connected to the Pynq Z2 Arduino pins or to a Grove Arduino shield.
If you are interested to understand my testing and experimental logic, read on. ...
hey there i have been experimenting Raspberry Pi zero 2 w Camera setup and exploring low latency video streaming for remote monitoring, has anyone used WebRTC or similar technologies for this approach to archive near real time video streaming using R...
You’ve gotta love it when a company goes all in on an April fools joke and calls your bluff…
