If any possible, we'll be having our monthly get-together both online, see below, and in person at https://thelab.ms/ The reason for the "if any possible" is that we had a storm roll through this morning. Downed trees, flipped 18-wheelers somewhere, cellphone coverage, depending on location, deficient at best. At this time the lab has power, but the forecast has more messes at the ready. Right now dallasrpi.org is offline, courtesy of complete and quite likely prolonged power loss. Last time something like this rolled through it took five days to recover. Bottom line is, if nobody is here at the lab Saturday 1000CDT, or the lab is dark, then try online to see if I found a place with juice and a decent uplink. If not, then we'll have to skip June, and I see all y'all in July.

I'm running FireCapture v2.7.14 on a RPi 5 with 8G and NVMe SSD. I have a QHY533C and a ZWO ASI120MM Mini cameras. The RPi 5 is running Bookworm. When I use FC with the 120MM, it seems to work fine. With the QHY, it seems to struggle. I've been playing with the settings to try and optimize (reading through some of the posts here). With the QHY, if I set it to bin x2 the preview looks ok (although debayer is not allowed). I do see that 1 core of the RPi is pegged at 100%, even when using 1 FPS. With the 120MM, the CPU usage is much lower on all cores. I realize the QHY has a lot more data to retrieve. If I uncheck the FPS control so the FPS goes up to 10, the % usage on that core goes down slightly to 96% - 98%. Maybe not really an issue, but seems odd. Just something that I noticed based on my years as a RTOS and Linux kernel developer. I'm using Kstars/ekos/PHD2 on the RPi to control my mount and cameras, I am intending on using FC to give me a live view for doing manual focusing, then go back to Kstars for the data collection. Would I be better to use indi server with FC, or leave it directly connecting to the camera like I am using it now? This post is part introduction, and part looking for suggestions to tweak FC for better performance. Thanks! Pete Kockritz

Yay, May. Hay fever, allergies, and hopefully no more tornadoes. Means everybody gets to venture places, to, for instance, attend this one at https://thelab.ms/ or online, see below. Who has some new cool stuff to show? Let me know!

Interesting... There must have been some bugs in the 3-15 release of Raspberry Pi OS as I just noticed some new downloads. Here are the release notes: 2024-03-15: * Audio streams will now not be interrupted when other audio devices are connected or disconnected * Keyboard shortcut to install Orca no longer prompts for password, and will now wait for clock synchronisation rather than failing silently * Orca screen reader updated to version 45 with various additional small bug fixes * Obsolete fbturbo video driver removed * Bug fix - saved display resolution settings not reloading under X * Raspberry Pi firmware 6e0ae774407d68659b50cfbeb9f493ed16718866 * Linux kernel 6.6.20 - 6f16847710cc0502450788b9f12f0a14d3429668 -- _____ |\/ o \ o Rusty Haddock <=> AE5AE/WRQD389 | ( -< O o If you're sending someone some Styrofoam, |/\__V__/ what do you pack it in?

Has anyone tried running RISC OS on their RPi? It's not Unix/Linux and certainly isn't Win*lows!

This page claims to have collected the EOL committments for the various versions... https://endoflife.date/raspberry-pi Pages have statements like " Obsolescence Statement Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ will remain in production until at least January 2028" Now whether "will remain in production" means actively in production or is really "if we get orders and can source the parts" is a different question.
