TRMNL Display: e-paper and LCD display software for single-board computers
TRMNL is a display software project for single-board computers (Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi) supporting both HDMI/LCD and e-paper displays. v0.1.0 introduced a build script for choosing display mode and runs in the background so the device stays useful for other tasks.
Pimox: Proxmox Virtualization on Raspberry Pi 4B
A comprehensive gist for turning a Raspberry Pi 4B into a Proxmox virtualization host using Pimox — covers Home Assistant VM, USB passthrough, SSD boot, and Docker. Practical homelab reference for ARM-based virtualization.
Bjorn: Raspberry Pi Network Scanner with e-Paper Display
Bjorn is a network scanning and offensive security tool for Raspberry Pi with a 2.13-inch e-Paper HAT display — discovers targets, identifies open ports and vulnerable services, and shows results on the tiny screen. A self-contained portable pentesting device for the hobbyist security researcher.
7-Colour E-Ink Display for Raspberry Pi (Inky Impression 5.7")
Tutorial for the Pimoroni Inky Impression 5.7" — a 7-color e-ink display HAT for Raspberry Pi. Covers setup, driving the display with Python, and displaying images. E-ink's low power draw and paper-like quality make it attractive for ambient information displays.
Running an Ethereum Full Node on a Raspberry Pi 4
A guide to running an Ethereum full node on a Raspberry Pi 4 — a self-sovereign approach to blockchain access that avoids trusting centralized RPC providers like Infura. Technical tutorial covering hardware, software, and sync process.
Portable Python Projects: Home Automation on Raspberry Pi
A Pragmatic Programmers book teaching home automation with Raspberry Pi and Python — projects like smart lighting, temperature monitoring, and voice control, most completable in an hour. Bridges the gap between Python programming and physical home control without requiring electronics expertise.
Raspberry Pi Setup Scripts
A GitHub Gist with setup scripts for the Raspberry Pi, including the essential dd command for writing a Raspbian image to an SD card. A practical reference from 2012 when the Pi was new and setup guides were scarce.
Cross Compiling Node.js v0.8.x
Nathan Rajlich's guide to cross-compiling Node.js v0.8.x for ARM targets — a prerequisite for running Node.js on Raspberry Pi and similar ARM boards in 2012, before pre-built ARM binaries were widely distributed.
Configuring Wireless LAN on Raspberry Pi with RTL8188CUS WiFi Dongle
A 2012 setup guide for adding WiFi to the Raspberry Pi using the RTL8188CUS USB dongle — one of the first supported cheap WiFi adapters. The Pi had no built-in wireless until the Pi 3 in 2016, so USB dongles were required for years.
