Living so close to a Micro Center is no good for the wallet.
Underrated AF😂😂😂😂😂
I don't get it?
my country doesn’t have micro centers so a pi here is double the price 😭😭😭
I hear that. My wife insists she go with me lol.
@@plica06 They are saying it is so cool that they buy a lot of stuff.
Temperature sensors near hot CPUs is a 'Why won't they supply an extension cable, knowing full well I'll get false readings?' moment. 🤨🤨🤨
I live in switzerland and see so many youtubers at micro centers. It seems like HEAVEN. Wish there was one here in geneva
I almost never use my Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins cause I can't find any hardware for it
We used to have a few different stores that were somewhat like it, like CompUSA, Fry's, Circuit City, Radio Shack... now all those are gone, or a former shell of what they were.
Micro Center is IMO better than all of the above, and tends to have a wider selection of parts for any of the types of project they support! And they don't need to pay me to say that. Just wish they had more locations.
In Switzerland, I personally use Digitec a LOT for my electronics, they probably don’t have as much choice as Micro Center but they still have a ton.
Not the same as walking into a shop, but you can try pi-shop dot ch for online orders. Has a good selection of sensors and boards to try.
I live within walking distance of one and it is a major factor in how long I've stayed at my current rental.
That guy seemed thrilled to be in the video.
The first-generation Raspberry Pi Model B was released in February 2012. 12 years since
And it's still supported by Pi OS, crazy!
@@JeffGeerling I'd say the craziest thing is that not only is it still supported but some folks are still using them daily and most of the older models are still available for purchase, so it is so easy to keep doing so! I was until recently still using two Pi1's...
Finally had the SD card fail in the one remaining original pre memory upgrade version and the last of my other 26pin GPIO age ones so until a week ago or so I'd have been one of them... And I expect I'll be one again soon, as after a spruce up I think one of those projects is going right back into use...
Hi Jeff! Thanks again so much for the Pi kit and sensors. They have already been a part of several projects and have helped at our makerspace. And this is a great primer for those just starting with the Pi. I will be sharing this with all those interested in getting started!
We lost Tandy years ago then Maplin recently, in the UK.
RS Components is good, my nearest is in Bristol is about 35 miles.
Was lookig for Amphenol MS type connectors recently, got them from Mouser, amazingly they were dispached from Texas and delivered 2 days later, they also happened to be the best price.
I buy nearly all components on line, usually on eBay.
Any thing built for outside or mobile equipment gets military spec parts as most of my jobs involved them, they last longr and are more rugged.
Thanks Jeff for another great video.
After I visited the Raspberry Pi store in Cambridge, I found out that the main folks behind that store (and many of the employees) are all former Maplin employees! Nice to see at least some of that legacy live on.
I miss Maplin 😭
the problem with Maplin is you'd pay £10 for a 50cm HDMI cable that didn't even work 😅
frys.com died for your sins 🙂
@@unicodefox Oof. Well at least it seems the Pi Store is a bit higher quality than that...
RTL-SDR is soo cool, I also use it for tracking airplanes and maritime traffic
Just bought an ADS-B-suitable antenna and I plan on dedicating at least one Pi to the task of tracking planes above me :)
@@JeffGeerling Are you also gonna contribute to Flightradar24?
@@corwindev Probably! Want to set it up so I can contribute to multiple systems... lots of great OSS libraries out there for it already.
@@JeffGeerling you'll want to set up a UAT antenna & receiver as well. Not nearly as much traffic, but enough to make the difference, especially because you live in a larger metro. Do boot it off of a NVMe drive so you don't have to deal with µSD failures.
@@JeffGeerling you should have a go at building a Coax Colinear antenna, bit of a rabbit hole but then again so is the RasPi world too. I run Fr24 and Adsbexchange on my Pi4 ✈
I've spent many hours in the Norcross, GA MicroCenter store. I noticed that when I connected to the store's WiFi that I couldn't connect to my VPN. The associates informed me that their network is VERY locked down. So, I'm not surprised that you had _issues_ on their network. I'm also not surprised that given their techie clientele that their network had to be super locked down.
BTW, great video. I have relatives in Charlotte and now I have somewhere to hide out when I need to escape. 😆
Heh true... I'm sure they've seen some shenanigans in their day!
I bet they had some 802.1x security on the network port.
They finally opened the Microcenter in Charlotte? I don't believe it. They have been touting, postponing, touting, postponing the opening of this store for YEARS! I just got to where I ignored the "Grand Opening" ads for this store.
Yeah; even there, they planned on opening in May but hit delays due to something or another... we originally hoped to have JayzTwoCents, Austin Evans and me all be there within a two day period. Now they had to spread things out but a few other UA-cam creators went by now too, like Greg Salazar I just saw posted a video today too!
I'm still rocking a Pi 3. It's not as fast as the newer models, but it's more than enough to run Pi-hole with Unbound and to run scripts to keep my DDNS services up to date. I've had it since well before COVID, they build these things to last!
I would love to see a video on software defined radio on the Pi!
More Micro Centers = better in my opinion. For years they have been one of my favorite resources in terms of availability, competitive pricing, and so on. Here’s hoping that they continue in the same spirit and continue to thrive without selling their souls like so many other now-extinct electronics retailers of recent memory.
Rip Fry's and CompUSA
Thanks Jeff for sharing my webUI I am so glad it worked smoothly!
Thanks for all the Pi knowledge. You inspired me to make my own Pi4 server, and will continue it into 5.
Why is this SO darned enjoyable?!
Great gear for the price of a few beers/coffees and many months or years of fun playing with it, all presented by an affable, knowledgeable, slightly crazy enthusiast (crazy because of the extreme uses of Pi - clusters, uber-massive petabyte NAS drives, Piz dispensers ...) But without pushing the limits we remain static.
Thanks a bunch for making this, feel like I can go back and watch some of your other stuff that I dismissed as too technical for me and have a better understanding of now :)
Gotta say, say I dabbled in Linux over the years but the thing that really got it going for me was the ability to continually break and reflash my pi's over and over again and that got me confident enough to move on to x86 and then building my home lab, to eventually having a full rack full of foibles and fun. So thanks to Raspberry Pi foundation and people like you that make it accessible Jeff.
just got the raspberry pi 5 8GB for home assistant,first time working with a PI, you have being a great help for me troughout the journey so far
Nice overview. I am glad you left in some of the troubleshooting tips!
hi Jeff, do you know if the pi500 is coming soon?
I hope, but no, have not heard anything about launch dates for any new Pi products yet, I'm guessing they're taking a breather after the M.2 HAT, AI Kit, Connect, etc. all at the start of this summer!
Be like Chris fromm EC, he made his own PI500 😅
@@bunny_incup132 He already did it so much better than I could though!
Iam still waiting for part2 of it, to see some upgrades or something, maybe RTC, maybe power switch, iteresting stuff!
@@JeffGeerling hello jeff, i want to ask is it possible to make a laptop from from the rpi5?
Thanks, Jeff!!! I think I'm going to share this with my grand-kids (x 3!). Great presentation! If only Micro Center had a store in Las Vegas, NV! Best Buy doesn't stock this stuff so I have to rely on Amazon. I'm a long time fan of your channel(s)!
I think between Las Vegas and Phoenix, those are the front-runners for how many people have asked for a location. Would be great in NV especially for all the tech conferences there!
ummm, can that particulate matter sensor be used to monitor dust in a woodworking shop?
Yes indeed! I've had one running off an AirGradient in my basement and it convinced me to get a WEN dust filtration system since it was unhealthy levels of a long time, even with my dust collector going!
I've been waiting for this Micro Center to open for a long time! It's only 1.5 hours away and I'm already planning a trip!
bought a new raspberry pi 5, now this video. Thanks!
You don't have to buy this video though /s
@@JeffGeerling
😮
@@JeffGeerling I think I have to learn some English. But I still want to buy this video.
If only we had stores like this in the UK!
I live about an hour from the Denver Micro Center and I love it!! Great video Jeff!
Great ! keep up the good work jeff
When I lived in San Jose, we had a Micro Center close by, but it closed many years ago. It was a very sad day for me. I'm now in Minnesota and there IS a Micro Center about 20 minutes away - I'm in heaven!
Would love to see an Amateur Radio Raspberry Pi video either on this channel or with his dad on the second. I don't think I've found a digestible Pi-Star video that would entice newcomers into the Amateur Radio space.
There are plans... working my way up to that though. First I'm going to do a video getting started with RTL-SDR. Then some other project-specific videos before we get to more advanced usage.
Jeff! Love your videos! If you have any say in the matter, Hampton Roads VA NEEDS a Microcenter!
I like how Micro Centers look like a heaven for techies, but I wish the prices for the RPis here are the same as everywhere else.
But I've got a Pi Zero 2W and it's quite awesome in my opinion,
Nice video Jeff!
I love the vibe of this video! its from like a 2011 computer store! love to see this kind of diy tech in 2024!
Microcenter is... expanding? I really hope that brick and mortar hardware stores come back, something different about actually getting to see what you are buying.
Man, you really make me want a Micro Center near Seattle! I love all of the RPi stuff, but what's funny is i was drooling over the fully stocked Unifi stuff on the rack behind you ;)
Filament machine is dope! This has to be at every microcenter!
Loved it ❤
I like this Channel because it gives us organic content without boring intros or begging for subscribers etc. Thanks Jeff!
ITS 11.06 PM in Phx area and 98 degrees (it was 116 today) , when i wake up 6am it will be about 87 degrees. Always great work Jeff, Thanks.
Thanks Jeff, very interesting. There are several other comments about doing RTL-SDR as a topic. I agree. I saw it for a moment in your previous video about Pi cases and it got me thinking...
Absolutly love the ST. Louis City SC jersey!!!!! I love watching them play and hope they can get healthy soon. Especially Lowen!
Yeah injuries have really not been our friend this year. Still happy to watch the young new guys come out and try their best!
Love that you did a getting started video for the new version. Technically Apple has an SDXC card slot to format micro-SD cards with an SD case on the M2/M3 Macbook Pro.
True, true. And on my Mac Studio! It's at least made it to a few of their pro models
the keyboard and mouse in black is absolutely perfect!! I'll have to acquire a set
Super excited to see micro center expanding. We need a store in san diego!
I've really bought into Raspberry Pi since their beginning; I have multiple boards of every model with the exception of the compute modules. While at work, my environment is windows based, at home I'm completely PI based. My current project is telescope control; still in the programming stage though. Enjoy your videos tremendously; I never fail to learn something new from them.
I live in other Greenville (SC) and now I am right in the center of THREE microcenters. What a life!
4:03 Mr. Personality enters the scene with a powerful, moving performance.
There were no official pi 5 US power supplies available…so I got the Argon 27W power supply and it works great, even with an m.2 drive on a Pimoroni m.2 base.
Yeah, Argon's is excellent, I use it at my desk all the time now!
I just pray Micro Center doesnt go the way of Fry's Electronics.
We need microcenters in Canada!!!
This is a really helpful resource. I've been watching your videos for a few years now and I'll say since buying a pi some 8 to 10 years ago, half the things I learnt was from Jeef Geeling, and the other half has been from the rest of the internet.
I do wish I have some retail like this near me though that stocks plenty of pi parts. Here in Australia, my most reliable places so far has been two online retailers, one in NZ and one all the way in UK, and with the exception of some shop I stumbled across in Akihabara in Tokyo, I've yet to go into a shop where I can look at all the parts and just pick the ones I want. On the other hand, having a place like that near me would send me broke.
awesome! my pi 5 comes on Monday!!
Great video Jeff, been following your channel for a while now and i feel these kind of video reaches a totally new market
Thank you Jeff
I remember building the first version in my computer science class. Very fun little gadget🔥🔥🔥💯
Ahh, an RTL-SDR! Welcome to the rabbit hole, Jeff! If you haven't gotten your ham license, now's the time! ;)

73, KF0MYB ;)
Pis are perfect for general tinkering just as for projects. I already have a Pi 3 and 4 running, and just few weeks ago 2 Raspi Picos joined the club (though they are "just" micro controller boards and not SBCs)
The Picos are such handy little boards!
Great video, this video will be the one that will be replayed in 50 years time when retro single board computing is in fashion again.
93 degrees, I miss those days! 103 here in SoCal.
🥵
Wow, that's really hot. There are 32 degrees here in my country and it's too hot for me...
@@RaduRadonys You guys use the big, chunky degrees. It makes it different.
Awesome video, Jeff. I was there for the soft opening, and let me tell you, it feels great to purchase Raspberry Pi in a store again.
I remember they even sold some at Target in the before times!
Thanks for the video. I was in Micro Center in Houston yesterday and the RPI and RPI accessories display and inventory were pathetic. I'll shop online for now.
Jeff: "Apple doesn't believe in having card slots on their computers" .... except the MBP and Mac Studio
True; though for a couple years they had removed all card slots. Luckily someone at Apple got the designers to put them back in on the Pro/Studio lineup!
iMac Pro! ❤
Actually, the mini has got one too, and had it for years....
Micro-Center I know you are reading these, come to Phoenix preferably the east valley like Mesa or Tempe! All of our electronics stores are gone! You'd be the only game in town!
Cool video. Staying on theme with the shirt.😎
That filament machine is cool and all, but I saw that it broke a few days after opening and people couldn’t get filament.
Can’t beat good old fashioned shelves
I had a client who's network went down, and they needed a temporary network component to get the facility back online... only to find it was two days before the Charlotte MC opening (I think it opened on a Fri). So I was able to "overnight" ship the parts in the same time it'd take to wait for the opening.
I thought it was ironic/funny that it was that Charlotte store you mention, b/c that was a frustrating week lol
I do love this type of video tho.
This was a long learning exp for me when I first got into Pi's
Wow, that 3d printing as a service is so cool! I need to give my nearest Microcenter a visit even though it's 1.5 hours away from me 😅
The official documentations of Pi, especially those in the camera software chapter, have many wrong command line instructions. For example, the command line instructions about RTSP stream are wrong and incomplete. I can't believe that Raspberry pi company still keeps the wrong documentation without amendments after so many questions and discussions on the forums left for months! Please considering make a video about how to stream the video of the camera on Pi 5.
Way to go buddy, get your money.
Great video, need to make my self also a air quality sensor...
Immediately noticed the sensor was upside down in the right angle connector, glad that nothing got damaged there.
Future video: Easy backup from one pi to another
Another great vid 😊
Hey Microcenter. We need one in Maine. I would of bought my Korad bench supply off you among other things. You'd probably want a retail space in Portland. Closest one we have seemed to be Massachusetts.
How does Micro Center compare to buying on Amazon? Looks like one will be opening up this year near me (~40 minutes away, which I consider near me in this area).
A very pragmatic video with a couple of great demo projects.
I'm not so lucky, living west of the Rocky Mtns. Closest Micro Center is Devnver, CO or Tustin CA (southern CA). Would be amazing should a Micro Center open near Seattle WA, or Portland OR. Micro Center would likely see visitors from Vancouver BC. There use to be a Fry's near Seattle, but that closed in 2020.
Got the crazy idea this morning to make Raspberry Pi motion-activated security camera so I went on the MC website and ordered 9 parts (Zero 2W, PIR, Camera 3, etc). All items showed at least 2 in-stock (Aisle 12). So I ordered and jumped in the car for the 1 hour drive to Tustin. 30 minutes later I get an email saying only 6 are in stock and to check inventory online and reorder. I checked. They still show in-stock. So I go to call to confirm that the email is correct (not just that someone hasn't thoroughly searched Aisle 12), but NO PHONE #. Yeah. You cannot call a store. Ahhhhh! 😱 Just a little a little frustrating. Gonna order from PiShop since they have a version with Pre-soldered headers for only $5 more.
Yeah... maker section stuff can be dicey. I've had a few orders come back as having no stock. The problem is they normally only have 2-3 of some of those items in stock regularly. The organization in those shelves is a little spotty, and customers sometimes drop stuff down below where things get lost to time.
I'm usually lucky enough to find the thing the employee couldn't, but I do wish each MC would have someone more focused on those shelves in the maker section.
NNNNOOOOOOOO! How did I miss you! Haha. Welcome to Charlotte btw ☺️
Very nice video. I have my Pi 5 8GB running Jellyfin right now. Microcener is also where I gory my Pi’s.
This makes me nostalgic for Fry's Electronics :(
Cool introduction to Pi.
Still my favorites to tinker around with sensors, home-assistant, python-scripts ...etc
Pretty shure we don't have a similar store to Mirco Center here in Germany. Maybe they do like to open some stores here 😜
Enjoyed the video and your live experience as I’m bringing up a rpi5 now.
You mention this but let me emphasize: Use the official power supply or another rated for the Raspberry Pi 5 !!! I tried several alternatives and regret the time I wasted. I ended using a Canakit 45W supply which made all the power warnings go away.
The 5 is noticeably faster than earlier models and I believe forced cooling will be necessary in the long run.
Thanks for sharing your experience-
Best way to learn is by doing it wrong. Sometimes many times, ha!
God I miss having a Micro Center in San Jose, I used to go there all the time before it had to close due to a rental disagreement. Well at least I still have Central Computer for many of my raspberry pi needs.
Thank you Jeff, I have my elderly father at home and I wanted a way to check in on him.
Just got my PI5’s today, didn’t know know this came out.
I had the TV Tuner hat. It worked fine when plugged into my Pi. But I wanted it in a case, a TV, and they couldn't exist stacked, so I made a custom wire loom that was only about 6 inches (150mm) long, and... the hat didn't work anymore.
I had the thought that maybe the wire is too long, but I can't do anything about that, but it's probably interference... So I individually wrapped each wire with aluminium foil, and then connected one end to ground, and it worked fine.
RF is weird stuff!
Deer Micro Center- Please, please come to the Pacific Northwest- There's an empty Fry's store in Wilsonville, Oregon that would be a great location.
Oh, yeah, there isn't much here in Greenville, NC in the way of electronics. There is a Robotics group at ECU and you could have contacted the Pitt Pirate FIRST Robotics group. They may have had some parts you could have used. Wish there was a Micro Center here though.
I love Micro Center. I wish Atlanta's location was that shiny and new, and not cramped and old.
i cant imagine having a actual retail store selling computer hardware. Insane. We only have Amazon :(
That was fun, Jeff.
Thanks!
I have become obsessed w/ building sensors for my HA server. So I thought this video was great for ppl getting into the same.
At first I would use Tasmota or ESPhome but I soldier all the pieces together, usually planning the space out in a pre-fab plastic box Id buy on Amazon or Ebay. Later I began to program my own in Arduino IDE then incorporate MQTT. I never really used the terminal directly.
I will need to look this up and learn more. But that would be another type of video I'd love to see (using terminal to access data thru these sensors).
Sorry if I am bombarding you w/ suggestions. Just offering diff video ideas in case you're looking for any 👍
I am in Portland Oregon. Despite being a metropolis the nearest microcenter is 16 hours away. The place that most similarly resembles one sells maybe 1/10th of the things and they are the only store for over 100 miles that sells hobby electronics. It is interesting considering that this is one of the biggest hubs for engineering and is considered as a mini silicon valley quite literally labeled the "Silicon Forest". As for most projects, I find I almost never use a raspberry pi because why would I use a very expensive pi 5 or 4 to use sensors, even a pi 0 is significant overkill for something like a weather system that can be run on a 4$ ESP32. My Pis only really ever get used as mini servers or gaming consoles. Unless if you want to work with ml video. But anything related to data machine learning can also be done on a nano 33 ble sense which has 1/100th the power requirement and is 1/4th the size.
Yo dude im so lost, i just got a coral usb tpu and i have no idea where to find updated documentation about it, I know you worked with tons of Coral tpus and I was wondering where you got the info to get it to work. Please help if possible
I'd be interested too. I've had mine for years, and the only way I can get it to work now is with docker containers where everything has been set up correctly, because only a specific set of python versions work, plus a bunch of specific dependencies and so on... the entire coral project feels dead tbh
I want to do a pi hole project, which pi should i get?
Had no idea you were at the Charlotte store. I would have driven down there.
Can we use Camera module 3 for video conferences like Google meeting or jitsi?
Good question, and yes... with a caveat. There's no microphone. I would normally recommend a webcam (I use a Logitech C920) if you want to do conferencing with a Pi, it's just easier to get going.
I love the camera project. I would like to set up some remote wifi enabled cameras on my family's 30+ acres outside. Would I need a pi and power for each camera or I steam them to a headless pi ?
I love your videos
