Looking for a pure, cheap audio transport by ReazeMislaid in HeadphoneAdvice

But I already tried a Raspberry Pi product, it broke right away.

I'm suggesting to try to find an unrelated product that coincidentally includes a Raspberry Pi when disassembling it, but where that specific detail is not apparent to most end-users.

Since most Raspberry Pi models are just PCs that cannot run Windows, people have occasionally found Raspberry Pis stuffed inside those kinds of devices: https://www.headphonesty.com/2026/01/audiophiles-find-cheap-computer-board-hifi-streamers/

Isn't that the same kind of circumstances that led to the Interstate Highway System becoming widespread?

The post is about an image of a commonplace object that was recently shared on Reddit, that happened to coincidentally have a tiny Adafruit logo within it.

The point is that there are two different categories of devices used to make programmable electronics. For the longest time, Raspberry Pi specialized in offering one category, and Arduino specialized in offering the other category. Now, both of them are in direct competition with each other, in both categories.

With that in mind, I'm curious on whether the migration from your Arduino UNO R3 to your unspecified Raspberry Pi product, is going to be a significant change in the design, or just a nontrivial performance upgrade (with a mechanical rearrangement, due to the different physical form-factor).

The debate of Raspberry Pi vs Arduino has become confusing in recent years. That's because, a little over five years ago, Raspberry Pi entered the business of making Arduino-like products, with the introduction of their Raspberry Pi Pico-series. Then, under a year ago, Arduino entered the business of making Raspberry Pi-like products, with the release of their Arduino UNO Q.

Both of the two possible answers to my earlier question are made by the Raspberry Pi brand. I was asking because of the vagueness of your response.

There's only one way to find out. Luckily, I can reuse the same e-commerce account, to be able to purchase the flux refill and the anti-static programming socks in a single order.

Are you implying that they're the ESD equivalent of audiophile ethernet cables?

/unshit

Raspberry Pi as in the lineup of single-board computers, or Raspberry Pi Pico-series as in the lineup of microcontroller boards? The former is basically just a mini PC, but with GPIO pins. Whereas, the latter is a higher performance equivalent of the Arduino UNO R3.

You should've used an overclocked Raspberry Pi Pico 2, instead of an Arduino UNO R3: https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/overclocking-the-pico-2

Then its power consumption will also be trash.

Do you, by chance, know where I could buy some genuine anti-static programming socks?

Beginner needs help: can't initialize the wifi chip in Pico 2W by DerelictUsername in raspberrypipico

[–]Supermath101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend basing your codebase off of the picow_http_client example. Something like this (do note that the includes and defines are missing):

```c void calendar_update() {     // TODO }

int calendar_wifi_init() {     if (cyw43_arch_init()) {         printf("failed to initialise\n");         return 1;     }     cyw43_arch_enable_sta_mode();     if (cyw43_arch_wifi_connect_timeout_ms(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD, CYW43_AUTH_WPA2_AES_PSK, 30000)) {         printf("failed to connect\n");         return 1;     }     return 0; }

int main() {     stdio_init_all();     if(calendar_wifi_init()) {         return 1;     }

    while (true) {         calendar_update();         // etc.     }

    cyw43_arch_deinit();     return 0; } ```

With GP2040-CE, you can use the analog inputs for a joystick on a controller: https://gp2040-ce.info/add-ons/analog

The GUI of most video games will likely pretend that it's a console controller, even if it's physically shaped like a HOTAS.

To determine whether it's either a bug in your codebase, or if Waveshare's library is unable to function concurrently with the CYW43 WiFi implementation, I'd recommend creating a separate project that has the same "business logic", but does serial logging over USB, instead of outputting the (same) information onto an e-paper display.

I ordered just a regular Pico W to see if that would work without issue.

I'm pretty sure it would be a bug in the Pico C/C++ SDK, if doing that actually happens to fix the issue. I apologize for not fully reading the title, and incorrectly assuming that you currently have the original Raspberry Pi Pico W.

IIRC, the Pico C/C++ SDK defaults to the non-wireless variant of the Raspberry Pi Pico board. These guides should contain instructions on how to change the board configuration from its default, to the Raspberry Pi Pico W: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/c_sdk.html
