      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.

      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...

    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.

    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.

      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!

    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

    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.

    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).

  • @AerialWaviator

    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.

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling  3 дні тому +1

      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.

    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-

    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.

    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 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 👍

  • @WhatsTheWordBozo
    @WhatsTheWordBozo 5 днів тому +1

    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.

      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

      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.
