I stopped and then disabled the service that does the fan control etc of my Fan Shim. The fan just runs continuous now as long as the Pi is powered. My temp hovers right around 40c with the Pi under moderate use. About 35c if its just sitting idle. I'm happy with this setup. The LED now stays off. T...

What do you have connected to the HUB? If it isn't anything that requires lots of current just unplug the power supply feeding the HUB. Power "should" then come from the Pi Zero. This is what I use with my Pi Zero's, https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/three-port-usb-hub-with-ethernet-and-microb-conn...

The Pi can be back powered via the DATA port. Thats so you can use it in USB gadget mode. Power coming back from the USB HUB is IMHO not desirable. Not in this instance anyway. I'd either just power the Pi via the HUB, or get a HUB that doesn't back power the Pi. The two power supplies are going to ...

Lots of ways to do it. I have a HDMI to DVI adapter on my monitor. I went this way as it lets me swap around the official cables. I usually have my PI 4 B connected, but sometimes hook up a Pi Zero etc. I just swap the Micro HDMI for the Mini HDMI, a normal HDMI if its a 3A or 3B. The HDMI to DVI ad...

With the new boot loader I can now boot up and shut down with the button on my Fan Shim. Down side is the fan keeps running after the Pi shuts down. I have to unplug the power supply to male it stop. :( With the original boot loader, on shut down the +5V is turned off and the fan stops. Down side is...

I switched tactics. I stopped, and then disabled the service that controls the fan. Now it just runs continuously when the Pi is on. My temps are now around ~40c with moderate use. Half what I was getting with just the heat sink. And more constant with no swings up and down. :D But only a 3% change...

Installed my Fan Shim today. Mounted it on a booster header. Only had to make one small modification to its holder to lower it a little. Cut some plastic away so I could skip using the nuts as spacers. With the stock software install the fan turns on at 65c and back off again at 55c. Takes about 20 ...

I have a Pi 4B, 4 gig version in a Pimoroni Pibow Coupe case with the Pimoroni Heatsink made for that case. It would hit 80c with moderate use. Viewing one of my camera feeds in a browser window would do it. It took a while about 30 minutes. I just today installed the Pimoroni Fan Shim. Its on a Boo...

Also, be aware that on some solderless bread boards the power rails are separated into two sections. There is a break right in the middle that separates them into two groups of 25 pins. If I was to wire that circuit up as shown on my breadboard, it wouldn't work because the ground for the LED wouldn...

alphanumeric

If its not used you don't need to wire it. For some its just common practice / habit to wire it up. In case you add more components latter on, or wire up a different project etc. Some may have a dedicated testing setup so its advantageous to just leave it hooked up all the time.

I only ever solder a header there if I'm going to use the RUN pin. For most people, yes, just leave it as is. Only populate it if your actually going to use it.

alphanumeric

If the Pi was shut down and left powered up, momentarily grounding the Run pin will boot it up. You don't want to do that while its running though as it will like pushing the reset button on a PC. It will reboot on the spot without shutting down properly first. RUN is actually the SOC Reset pin. It ...

Forgot to mention, I have a Pi A+ with a Sense Hat attached. No case, but I do have a black difusser mounted in front of the sense hat. I use it to soften the LED matrix display. I have no problem reading my scrolling message through the black difusser. I drilled holes in the difusser and used screw...

I have the Pimoroni Pibow Coupe case on my Pi 4B. https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pibow-coupe-4?variant=29210100105299 This case is made to accommodate the Fan Shim. I currently only have a heatsink mounted. My fan Shim should arrive any day now. I have used these black difussers on several of my...

The Pi 4B might actually be powerful enough to run Windows 10 on Arm and not be a PITA to use. I don't see Microsoft being in any big hurry to officially port Windows 10 on Arm to it though. I inquired on the Microsoft Private Yammer group but never got any official replies from any body with Micros...

As a Microsoft MVP, I tried 10s. Way to restrictive for my liking. I do believe its a free upgrade to Pro though, if you want. It was at one time. I've given Windows 10 IoT a few test runs on a Raspberry Pi.. I just don't have the Visual studio skills to do anything productive with it. There isn't a...

alphanumeric

I could be wrong, but I do believe Windows 10 on Arm was only officially available to OEM's, via private channels. To be installed on supported devices etc. And they likely pay licensing fees to Microsoft. That may have been the original source of what people are trying to use on the Raspberry Pi. O...

alphanumeric

Windows on Arm, on a Raspberry Pi, was a work in progress last time I had a look for it. And it was not anything even remotely official or anything sanctioned by Microsoft. I could at one time legally download Windows 10 on Arm via my My Visual Studio Enterprise subscription. You had to go hunting f...

Windows 10 IoT Core is not yet supported on the RPi 4B, hence my original statement ! This will sound like nit picking but thats not exactly what you said, "There are various Windows 10 Editions and none are Officially Supported by Microsoft on the Raspberry Pi SBC ." Windows 10 Iot is supported on...

alphanumeric

Windows IoT will run on a raspberry Pi, and is officialy supported by Microsoft. I'm not sure if the Pi 4B is suported yet though, all I found is a link for a Pi 2 or 3. Just be advised, this is not the Windows 10 you might think it is. Its a very watered down version that bears little to no resemp...

I have that battery and a Powerboost 1000 c powering a Pi A+, Sense Hat, and a few other odds and ends. I'm likely very close to the 1A out limit of the Powerboost 1000c. I'd be very surprised if you could power a Pi 3 or 4 and the 7 inch display. Even something like this https://www.dfrobot.com/pro...

Something based on a compute module is what I'd be interested in, as far as a tablet or laptop version goes. Especially if a CM4 eventually shows up. Maybe the Pi 7 inch touch screen, custom daughter board with a socket for the comput module of your choice. Or some variation of that. I don't care wh...

How does that heatsink contact the SOC?
