Rechargeable battery for a raspberry pi 3 model b+ mini laptop
I will probably ask more questions on this project, but For now I just want to make sure I don't either 1: Fry the batteries or 2: fry the pi. Bonus points if its relatively compact. Even more bonus points if it's super safe and easy.

Pi Zero 2 W not connecting to wifi
Are you trying to connect to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network? That will not work as Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks.

Electrical Schematic using RPI
Hello guys. I'm trying to get an electrical schematic using a Raspberry PI 3B+, 2x L289N each connected with 2 DC motors and 3 ultrasonic sensor HC-SR03. From what I've seen so far, the sensors need resistors and the power supply of the driver modules must be separate.

Help with gameboy nano build
Im trying to create the "Gamboy Nano" that ive seen on thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1334253 Ive been able to most of the parts except for 1. The 1 part im looking for is this analog/joystick component on the custom made pcb. Ive looked around a little bit and saw that maybe it was a 4 way tactile switch, but im not sure as I am new to this and this is my first project. If anyone could take a look and let me know what the joystick component is really called, that would be much appreciated!

Easiest way for a person to set Wifi SSID and password without connecting to co puter?
Imagine I made a product and the rpi needs wifi, is there some rest way for the customer to set the SSID and password without hooking up mouse, kb and screen? I guess I could include a touch screen but 8 so t want to do that just for that purpose.

Raspberry pi 4 wifi confusion
Im currently making a project using the Raspberry pi 4 for my final examn. Its an Nx-Witness camera system that is supposed to be cloud accesable as soon as you connect it to wifi and power supply. now i have the system functioning as long as i have it connected to internet via UTP. the problem arises when i connect it to wifi. whenever i disconnect the UTP cable and connect it to wifi, it will display as being connected, but wont connect to the cloud, and wont allow me to use anything that requires a connection.
so i assume this means its not actually connecting to the internet. does anyone know how i can troubleshoot and potentially fix this?

Shortage of GPIO pins
Hello!
I'm currently working on a project where im "building" an egg cooker. Here i am using a Raspberry Pi 4B which has the 2x20 GPIO Pins. In regard to my project i have bought three things. A responsive screen, solid state relay and temperature sensor.
DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor
- https://dk.rs-online.com/web/p/sensor-udvikling/2049893?cm_mmc=DK-PLA-DS3A-_-google-_-CSS_DK_DK_Raspberry_Pi_%26_Arduino_%26_ROCK_og_udviklingsvƦrktĆøj_Whoop-_-(DK:Whoop!)+Sensor-udvikling-_-2049893&matchtype=&pla-300807621014&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtsCgBhDEARIsAE7RYh2aFs4krnS_mm63JSevVczBqeDqywP0413sCPVfhi3_hr5EVQhZ-w4aAmdrEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Currently i have this wired to a breadboard and then two wires from the breadboard going into GND and 3.3V on the GPIO pins.
Solid state relay
Connected to a GPIO pin and GND
4DPI-32 MK2
- https://dk.rs-online.com/web/p/raspberry-pi-skaerme/9094105
As i was able to read and see this screen uses/clicks on all of the GPIO pins, which i wouldn't be able to because as i explained i am using some of the GPIO pins for my solid state relay and temperature sensor. Is there any way you guys would know a way to workaround this?

Trying to get this relay working. Ive got a level shifter. Do I need anything else?
Hi. Im trying to get this relay to trigger and I'm concerned I'm not providing enough power to the relay to trigger them. I've got an i2c level shifter thats able to put the voltage from 3.3v to 5v to the relay but the instructions advice that the shifter needs to have a 5v power supply on the HV side. Can I just use a 5v power supply or do I need to find a 5v supply from my Pi 4? The issue is I don't have access to any of the GPIO pins as they are occupied by the HyperPixel Screen.
Parts:
Raspberry Pi 4 4gb
MLink 4 Channel I2C / Parallel Relay Module ( https://hobbycomponents.com/recently-purchased/1090-mlink-4-channel-i2c-parallel-relay-module )
I'm using the Pimoroni breakout connectors for quick release from the relay.

Drivers raspberry pi 4
I'm not sure what I'm talking about but I have a device ("inverter") and when I plug it into the raspberry pie it shows up as /dev/ttyAMA0 when it should show up as /dev/ttyUSB0 this is a drive issue right?

How much power can you draw from the Raspberrypi pico w?
surprisingly i didn't find anything about this: i have a device that needs 5v 480mAh, can i connect that to VBUS or do i have to install a completely separate micro usb port just for that?

How can you run an interactive script on boot with no monitor plugged in?
I feel like this should be a common use case for a raspberry pi, I'm surprised how hard it is. I have a raspberry pi 3a+ and a python script that runs auxiliary hardware plugged into the pi (I don't think the specifics of those are too important). Then I have one of these three-key USB mini-keyboards plugged directly into the PI, and based on the input from those keys, the python script does things with the auxiliary hardware.
The only problem is that it requires booting up a terminal and manually running the script. Ideally, as soon as the pi turns on, the script would run and start polling for input with just the usb keyboard and auxiliary hardware plugged in, no monitor necessary.
[Tried] Using a cronjob with @reboot seems to be a deadend because they run in the background and can't take user input
[Tried] Using rc.local seems to fail for a similar reason
[Tried] Putting the script in .bashrc seemed like it failed, but I was having trouble finding the logs to figure out what might've gone wrong
[Haven't tried] Using systemctl by specifying StandardInput=tty seems like it might work, though I'm concerned that there is no tty to connect to since there's no monitor/ssh connection (I don't know the details of how this works)
* [Haven't tried] Using openvt to create a new VT as mentioned at https://superuser.com/questions/584931/howto-start-an-interactive-script-at-ubuntu-startup seems promising
Ideally, I could just go through all these option. The issue is, I'm helping a friend work this out virtually, which means I'm telling them what to do and that makes the debug process painfully slow. I'd like to hear some advice from the people here on what seems feasible, or if there's a different approach altogether that might be better.

Linux running in RAM
Hi,
Does anyone know of any Linux distros for the Pi that load into RAM on boot and then don't read from or write to the SD card?
I am aware of a couple
PiCore
TinyCore
and possible Alpine.
Are there any others?
Thanks

Smart Calculator W/Raspberry Pi
Hi all, I'm new to working with Raspberry Pi's, but I figured they would be useful to use on a new project I'm working on. I'm planning on working on making a smart(er) calculator that uses the Raspberry Pi camera to allow my calculator to be able to take a picture of an equation, and then using a Raspberry Pi, send it to a math website (probably Photomath), and then send back the websites results.
I'm mostly just curious if this is something that I can do with Raspberry Pi's, since as I mentioned, I'm new to working with them, and am not sure of their capabilities. If anyone can give some clarification, I'd appreciate it a bunch. Thanks!
