Raspberry Pi 5, Pimoroni NVMe Base
I just got the NVMe base for the Raspberry Pi 5 (Pimoroni PIM699), and I must say the circuit board quality is impressive! Promising start. š
To my project:
I slotted a Micron 256GB NVMe (Gen3, 4x) into the base board, attached the base board to the RPi5, and the Pi recognizes it. I used Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit and then used the imager to install Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit on my disk.
However, when I try to boot from it, I get a message that it fails to boot from NVMe, with options to hold shift for network boot or press escape.
The NVMe I'm using is an MTFDHBA256TCK-1AS1AABHA from Micron Technology Inc.
https://www.digikey.no/en/products/detail/micron-technology-inc/MTFDHBA256TCK-1AS1AABHA/10320942
Has anyone encountered similar issues or have any advice?
Edit: I see now that the disk is not on the list of supported disks on the Pimoroni website. Is it still possible to make this work?

Connecting react native app to a Raspberry Pi Zero W throught Bluetooth
I have a Raspberri pi zero which needs to send a string of information to my react native app. How can I do it?
I set up the whole bluetooth communication in my pi and the react native is developed, the only issue is that I cannot figure out how to make a communication between these two.

Pi5 + Moonlight/Sunshine - No Audio coming through HDMI & case fan not working/always on.
Hi, I'm new to this so please explain to me like I'm five! Thanks.
Edit: Audio topic was finally solved. 3rd party software was interfering with the routing of the sound to sunshine (Steelseries GG Sonar)
my case fan (white one) is either always if using gpio as seen on the picture, or not at all, if connected on Gpio 17. (tried to do this: https://howchoo.com/pi/control-raspberry-pi-fan-temperature-python/)
can you tell me what information you need from the terminal in very simple language because I really, have no idea what i am doing. Thank you so much!

Fresh install of Pi, old data from HDD.
I have a PI 4 currently running with some stuff on it, to it I have also connected HDD with data in it.
I want to do a fresh install on Pi, however I don't want to lose the data on HDD and have no place to temporarily store them.
Apparently, unplugging the disk, doing the install and plugging it back in may be enough for Pi to load the disk, however I'm not sure about this.
Another thing I worry about are permissions if the above method works.
The Pi OS and everything it needs is on SD card.

I want to make a touch-screen display for to-do list
Every morning I create a to-do list on my laptop before I start working, I want to be able to send that to do list to that display over wifi (and design the UI for that display myself ofc), I want to be able to tap on items on the checklist or do it in my pc that will then send the message to the display and it will sync and update the list.
What is the easiest way to make this? If it is the primary use case, can I make it using something smaller than a raspberry pi ?

Raspberry Pi to loop Slideshow
I'm looking to buy a Raspberry Pi to be used in a reception TV screen to loop a powerpoint, I saw a few ways it could be set up and wanted to ask for advice on what model I should buy and any tips on setting it up.
I will most likely use Raspbian and LibreOffice to set up the powerpoint, and as the people who work here aren't tech savvy I was wondering if it would be better to set up a VNC to remotely control it.
https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-starter-kit?variant=20336446079038
Would this kit with 4GB RAM be overkill, or would another Raspberry Pi be more suitable?
2GB would be fine for playing videos but just being considerate of scaling or any other uses down the line, but those are unlikely.

Wifi + Hotspot
Hello guys,
Iām having 2 Pi at home, Z2(w) and Pico(w).
My Z2 is connected to my private wifi (From modem). I want to find a way to connect my Pico to my Z2 using Wifi but not using the Wifi from my modem, for security reasons
I think I can archive it by using a hotspot, can someone confirm ?
Ideally :
- The hotspot will not link the public network with it (I wonāt have pico on internet)
- The hotspot will be a ghost network
- Any more security ideas ?
Additional info :
- Iām running Homebrige on my Z2
- Pico is used as a Homebrige http receiver
- Iām not looking to use https, thatās why I prefer having a Ā«Ā strong secured networkĀ Ā» between Z2 and Pico (Rather than having to deal with SSL and things..)

Retropie Screen Priority
Dear raspberry pi Community,
I'm reaching out to you to get some help with my retropie Project and maybe should make clear that I have no expertise in IT whatsoever, that's why a really detailed answer would be highly appreciated.
So currently I have a Raspberry 4 Model B set up to Run retropie, everything runs fine.
But I plan on changing the current casing to a 7" Touchscreen - Wimaxit M728 (connected via Adapter to one of the HDMI ports)
And that is what leads me to the question: how can I configure the pi so that it just uses the 2nd HDMI Channel once it's connected to another Monitor? (The "Main" Screen should not be used at all if both are in use, it's supposed to be a purely portable solution).
I imagine I could simply remove the HDMI adapter when plugging it into a TV but I'm hoping for a more elegant solution.
Thanks in advance ā¤ļø

can't ssh to raspberry pi

PI 5 either failing to boot or no HDMI
I recently got a raspberry pi 5. All morning I kept reimaging an SD card with Libreelec and PI OS. Neither seem to either boot or show up on screen. Continued to keep getting no signal. I got Libreelec to work a couple times but it's very inconsistent. I have tried the config and cmdline fixes I've found online. Not sure if that got it to work for me. I've spent a lot of time combing everything I can find for a fix. Just not sure what to do anymore.
Could there just be an issue with the PI. I bought and put it in a case because for my use case. I didn't want it to just sit on my nightstand
My ultimate outcome is to get any OS working and to get Moonlight installed. The only purpose for the raspberry for me is to solely run moonlight and be able to stream from my PC to my projector in my room. Nothing more. The couple times I got libre to work. I couldn't figure out to download moonlight.
Anymore information you need. I'll answer best I can.

im using circuitpython on my pi zero w (waiting for my esp32 to arrive) and i've ran into a problem, im making a digital clock and therefore i need a while true loop to update the clock. the problem is running the pi with the while true loop stops all connections with my computer so i cant run any more code on it till i unplug it and plug it back in and it seems to just freeze up after almost a minute or so because the clock just stops counting. could anyone help? thanks in advance

Zero W issues connecting over USB
So, I have a Pi Zero W and trying to ssh over USB. I have the bare ssh with no extension file in the SD card where it then deletes itself, the correct drivers where it then shows up as an RNDIS Gadget/USB Ethernet, and the right name of [email protected], but whenever I ping or attempt to ssh to it I get no response and that it cant find it.
It works on my main PC which has the exact same RNDIS driver, but it still refuses to work. Although, my main PC I run on my home network and my laptop currently is not connected to my home network (not home). But wifi shouldnt be an issue over USB ethernet, right?
Also it is connected over the USB Data port, not power.

Move from pi zero w to pi pico w?
I plan to make an alarm clock with a few features on a pi pico w, the thing is I do not have one right now and it'll take a week or two for it to arrive, but i do have a pi zero w. if i were to run circuitpython on the pi zero w and experiment with it, will it be hard to port it over to a pico w afterwards?
Thank you in advance.

Solid red light
Hi, I've had this Pi4 for about 6 months, however i just now started using it again. I've ran into this issue where the pi has a solid red light when it's powered by usb-c (may be dimmer than normal im not sure), but no boot or nothing show up on my monitor. The green light is always off too. I made sure the micro sd card worked with another pi, and it does. I also tried reinstalling the operating system. It's also important to note that Im only getting power with USB-C not with the circular connector nor the power pins. The USB ports also seem to be overheating very quickly. I see low voltage (2.3V) from TP1 and TP2.
