Help me select a board

I need to develop a device or system with a camera that can be placed on a door. This system will take photos of people passing through the door and upload them to a cloud server. It will also be capable of recognizing individuals. For example, if a known person passes through the door, the system will recognize them. If an unknown person passes through, the system will mark them as unknown. To achieve this, I'll need to provide the system with images of known individuals, which it will use for identification. After each entry, the system will capture a photo and upload it to a Linux server running on the cloud, storing all relevant information such as time and date in a file or MongoDB database. If the person is recognized, their name will also be stored, which can later be displayed on a web portal. Which rassberry pi model should I use for this?

Old Raspberry pi 2 B trouble booting

Hello all! My dad found his old Pi and gave it to me. I did manage to start it once with the original sd card and found it hasn't been touched since 2015. I couldn't update pi on the original SD card (it had a crack and my computer refused to recognize it), but i got a 32gb SD card and tried to load ubuntu on it. It loaded ubuntu for a bit fine, but in trying to get rid of Gnome i ended up just rewriting the SD card with regular old Raspberry Pi OS. Now, the entire thing won't work. It was at least showing the rainbow screen and not moving past that. I tried booting with no sd card and the same thing happened, so i tried to reinstall the bootlauncher via these instructions: https://www.fastoe.com/blog/rpi-4_400-eeprom-recovery-guide Now, with the SD card inserted, nothing shows on the screen and no green light is flashing. Any help is appreciated!

Camera module not being detected

1. Run libcamera-hello to double check if it's working or not 2. Take it out and clean it with isopropyl alcohol, maybe try switching the way you put it in too 3. Run sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade once you are sure it's clean and in properly

PiKiss Dolphin not working and other things.

I tried to get Dolphin on PiKiss and it said it downloaded successfully and i can see that it had downloaded the necessary files except the dolphin-emu part which is weird because the rest downloaded. I don't have a 5V power supply but i don't think this is the issue. Other games also don't work like half life and fallout 2. Fallout said it didn't have the right text font. Please help

how do i connect different sensors to my raspberry pi zero w without soldering

I wanted to create an accident detection sensor wherein the raspi would read data from the accelerometer(mpu6050), gps(neo6m) and then notify the registered mobile number using the gsm module(sim800l) in case of an accident All the other sensors came with headers except for the raspi and there isnt enough time/funds to go buy the headers for the raspberry so i was wondering is there any way i can connect the raspi to the sensors using male to female jumper wires without soldering Maybe by using breadboard Im new to soldering so i dont want to accidentally damage the board Would also appreciate it if you can help me assemble the project by giving some basic advice

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W not booting

I have a 02W and the only OS so far it will work with is Raspian Bullseye 32-Bit, but I want something more up-to date. Both 32 and 64 bit versions of bookworm doesn't do anything past the rainbow screen and the logo (it just goes black). It doesn't show up on my wifi either so I can't SSH in despite setting networking and SSH up in the official imager. What do I do?

Pico stuck on bootloader?!

Hello everyone! I have a Raspberry pi Pico and I was trying to connect it to a QTR-8RC sensor (IR sensor array). Anyways, I got some code online for the arduino ide, it used a library called QTR sensors from Polulu (manufcater of the sensor), and when I uploaded to the pico as I usually do it crashes midway and I can't seem to get it connected to the pc properly (doesn't get allocated to a port). Then I tried to do flash_nuke.uf2 and now I'm stuck in the bootloader... Windows 11, no cable problems, same test in 2 picos. Thank you in advance

I originally wanted to make the pi into my own acces point and use pi hole on it. But it didnt work. Maybe someone could help me doing this i keep running into problems over and over again. I need a very strict tutorial tho, something like "configure program xy to be it the Standard for application z" is already to hard for me.

I work for a small charity and all we want is a slideshow of images playing on our TV in the window on a loop. I've tried LibreOffice Impress but it seems to cause no end of problems for the Pi. I guess because it cant handle the graphics? Thanks so much!
