Pi 400 Wonāt install Git command
I am currently using Pi OS Lite 32 Bit, and whenever I try to run āSudo apt install gitā it will give four errors, three of which go somewhere along the lines of āFailed to fetch http : //raspbian.raspberrypi.com/raspbian/pool/main/<insert the rest of the link here>ā and then the fourth one will say āunable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try āfix-missing?ā

raspberry pi 4b not working only a red light
the light on the pi will only stay red
i have tried multiple different boot options on both usb and SD including pinn
but I cant get any response from my pi including no video output
tried many different things in the troubleshooting forum
and i either have not been able to do them due to lack of bieng able to use the pi or they have not worked
I cant get any screen at all
no action light blinks even after multiple hours
tried giving extra power from my build hat power supply and the pi power cable at the same time nothing
multiple different bootloaders no different results
called the pi shop in Cambridge they said its dead but i think there is a possible solution somewhere that someone has
and I don't know how to reset the EEPROM through the gpio pins cos I don't know how to connect the pins to my computer {I use a laptop}
I don't know how to solder nor do I have a soldering kit
I don't have a touch screen or anything to connect to the display port {not the HDMI ports the port on top of the pi }
it broke when I was assembling my freenove 4wd smart car kit
it just turned off while I was plugging something in {not into the pi its self but a part of the car} and that's when it broke
it had also rebooted when I accidentally dropped a screw on it lightly
I also cant get to the files of the pi by plugging the pi into the computer
its not lack of power
I think its an EEPROM corruption
possibly shorted
I think there was a small spark when I dropped the screw
I think pins ether 2 and 4 or 4 and 6 touched
pins 4 and 6 touched and it corrupted a lot of things when i was screwing the thing in
the previous times like with the screw the pi had force rebooted and with the screw i think that time it wasn't the pins that force rebooted it
i think the screw had bridged a gap and discharged multiple capacitors
also I think I have managed to get a couple flashes from the action light by using the usb or SD boot thing in the imager but I haven't had any luck from the OS yet

Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB Coding
I was planning to get one of these in order to just have a nice Pi that would allow me to code in most languages C++,C#,C, java, python, etc. Would the 4B 8GB be able to do this? Or does its OS/arm/power prevent it from being viable?

pi pico circuitpy not showing
So I plug it in as normal. Holding the boot button and all. Install circuit py. It disconnects and never reconnects as circuitpy. The guide said it should reconnect after like a second but this has been plugged in for an hour and still not showing.

I need some help with Programming in general.
i have a Project since a really long time and i had a really nice idea.
Its about NFC chips. So basically you hold an NFC chip at an Arduino/Rasp NFC Reader and then it would play a video with sound on a display nearby.
And if i want to make my project more advanced. The Program should also be able to play different videos for different NFC chips.
If someone is interested in a challenge and in joining my journey id like to even reward someone. 25 Euros for the Program, Material list, and maybe the circuit itself.
Thanks!

Raspberry Pi Project for barn surveillance
Key points:
- Remote barn (1km+) with no internet, only mobile.
- 2 entry points: door && gate.
- Detect intruders -> send SMS/call && send video to a remote server.
Setup:
- Raspberry Pi 4 or 5.
- Door sensors (Zigbee/LTE)
- Night camera
- GSM/LTE-M module
- BLE/Zigbee button
Life cycle:
Shutdown detection on off-hours (hours where there's no need to act upon detection). Generally, between 7 am and 7 pm.
When movement is detected by the BLE/Zigbee sensor, the Raspberry Pi should receive the notification and then in parallel do the following:
- send an SMS message/make a phone call to my mobile phone (or my parents)
- start taking an X-second video with a night camera, then compress the video and send it to a remote server that I control
- start playing some siren sounds in an external sound system
Other considerations:
- Local BLE/Zigbee button for system control.
- Remote system stop capability.
Questions:
1. Raspberry Pi 4 or 5? I'm considering at least 2GB RAM for video processing. Is it enough/too much?
2. Small (64GB) M2 SATA or NVME SSD. Recommendations?
3. Zigbee or BLE for the door sensors? The walls to the secondary door have +-50cm thickness and the door is ~8 meters from the place I'm thinking of placing the Raspberry Pi. I've read about some interference between Wifi/USB3 modules and Zigbee but don't know how much of a problem this is.
4. Night camera recommendations?
5. Considering an LTE-M module. Any recommendations?
Appreciate overall recommendations and feedback on the system's design and potential improvements or flaws.

Can I assign a static ip address to a ethernet connected pi using the same router as my PC does?
Hi all, I have a Pi connected to my PC via direct ethernet cable (as in, one end plugged into PC, one end plugged into pi). Is there a way for me to assign the ip address of the ethernet port to use the same router as my pc does? (aka the wifi router). Currently when I try to set a static ip address using the router address it just doesn't work.
I need to do this to be able to ping the raspberry pi from my virtual machine according to this: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=543989#p543989
Relevant info:
Model: 3b+
OS: raspbian
Router IP: 192.168.0.1

Unable to install PyTorch in Raspberry pi 4
Hello,
I am doing an image processing project using raspberry pi 4. I've saved the weights of the model in a pth file and passed it onto a raspberry pi with a usb stick. In order to load the model in raspberry pi so that I can use the camera I need to import PyTorch to load the model weights. The current version of python I'm using is 3.11 and every time I try to install torch it says "package python3-torch has no installation candidate".
Any help on this would be appreciated!

Bluetooth Keyboard Brain
Hi all,
Iām completely new to the world of piās and Iām wanting to build a wireless number pad, with an additional analogue thumb joystick that I can assign each button to a key press (about 20 buttons). I was going to use the pico but from what I can tell there is no way of connecting it via Bluetooth. Is there any other options for a board which will do what I need? A scour of Google and YouTube hasnāt given me any luck!

Trying to Install Raspberry Pi OS on a Kano computer
Hi! Today I tried to install Raspberry Pi OS on the Kano computer. On the box, it said the computer is a Raspberry Pi 3, so I thought it was just a Raspberry Pi 3 with a custom OS, so I flashed Raspberry Pi OS to the SD Card, and so far its been 15 minutes and the screen isn't giving a signal. I'm not familiar with Raspberry Pi, so can someone please help me?

Best framework for app in kiosk mode?
Hello, I was thinking about making a Flutter application that builds for Linux and installs on a Raspberry Pi, but there are some websocket packages that don't work on Linux, only on Android.
I was thinking about using Electronjs to make this application, which one do you recommend?
For development, I have experience in javascript (vuejs, nodejs/, nestjs, hence the preference for Electron) and Flutter.

Use a SD Card or only SSD for NAS?
Hey everyone, my PI 5 will soon arrive. I have also bought a Crucial x9 pro 4TB portable SSD.
I will just use this PI as a NAS with plex or jellyfin. Is it best to install both the OS and store the media on it or should I install the OS on a SD CARD and keep the SSD as a pure media storage space?
What's the best solution to keep it as simple and fast as possible? And of course the longest lifespan as possible.
