ur videos are super interesting, keep up the good work ! I bought you a coffee but forgot the message ^^ so here it is also it would be super nice if u just ran your audio through an anti static noise filter like u can find on many audacity plugins to make it way cleaner
Thank you for the coffee and te tip with the audio. :) Maybe I will try it next time. Normally I just upload the video as they were after recording without any cutting or audio improvements. But I guess, I should give it a try.
@@foo2hp I heard that VGA and HDMI use GMBus which is again a protocol derived from I2C. So we have to probe the GMBus module. Correct me if I'm wrong.
wunderbar! beste grusse aus Polen :) okay, my german sucks ;p I guess you've found nice nieche, there are plenty of lowspec obscure devices (like thin clients aka terminals) which could easily serve rpi's purposes for fraction of price :)
Danke, Dir! No, the sentence above was 100% correct ;) It is always great to find ways to recycle old hardware and with GNU/Linux you can easily access the Hardware. So, you are right, often they can be used as cheap replacements for RPis. But when it comes to power consumption, a RPi is still better ;)
My mainboard has an SMBus header on the board. I want to do the opposite: check the pc hardware/health with an arduino and plott it on an lcd. Where do i start? ;)
You need to implement an I2C Master on your Arduino. Then you can access the slave devices. Then depending on the hardware you can get information. For example if you detect an SPD (EEPROM with information about the PC's RAM), you can take a look the its content like described here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_presence_detect
Not all motherboards have the SMbus connected to PCIe connectors. Usually on workstation and server boards it it connected, but consumer boards might not have it.
Yes, you are right. Once I saw a computer, where you had to add 0Ohm Resistors to connect the SMBus to the PCIe connectors. But from 4 computers I have checked, on 3 the SMBus was availble ;)
Boards with socketed RAM will have SMBus to read the SPD-EEPROM data which is defined in the JEDEC standards. You can use a RAM breakout board to expose the bus.
