The TechLab is a Cape used to help learn to program for the PocketBeagle 1 and 2. There are quite a few components built-in to the TechLab, so this is an inexpensive way to learn some programming. The images you can download for the PocketBeagle 2 include one that is listed as 'Workshop'. You need the image when hooking up to the TechLab since it has the drivers in the kernel for the TechLab Cape. Specs on the PocketBeagle TechLab The TechLab is a CAPE that attaches to a... https://www.linux.org/threads/pocketbeagle-2-techlab-part-1.64232/

I covered the basics of the Arduino Uno Q, but I very much wanted to experiment with the LED Matrix. The LED Matrix is an 8 by 13 grid of LEDs that are blue. I won't get into how long it took me to get a single LED to light up, but it was definitely longer than it should have been. It took a while to get it streamlined and then make it something worth watching. We are going to make rain on the Arduino Uno Q. Basic Setup The first thing you need is a system hooked up to the Arduino... https://www.linux.org/threads/arduino-uno-q-led-matrix-rain.71072/

If you read the previous article, you should understand the Canvas Widget. In this article, we will start with the different methods that are available to manipulate the objects on the Canvas. Canvas Methods There are many methods that can be used on Canvas widgets. .addtag_above(newTag, tagOrId) .addtag_below(newTag, tagOrID) Now, we can add a tag to an item placed on a canvas. Keep in mind that each item, such as an oval, can have multiple tags. For... https://www.linux.org/threads/python-series-part-25-canvas-widget-part-2.63050/

Of course, many companies may need an Operating System (OS) other than Linux, such as Windows. So, the setup is not a simple, straightforward installation like Linux. There are special drivers needed and even some special settings to change the virtual hardware. We can go through these steps to get Windows 11 running. Download Drivers The Windows system we install will use Virtual I/O (VirtIO) drivers. The VirtIO drivers allow a virtual machine to use the actual host hardware... https://www.linux.org/threads/proxmox-ve-series-part-5-windows-virtual-machine.63049/

The device we will cover in this article is a newer version of the PocketBeagle, which is covered here. We can go over the newer specs and use the PocketBeagle 2. If you look back at the original Pocket Beagle article, you can see pictures of the board next to a quarter. The PocketBeagle is a little larger than a quarter, and the second version of the board is still the same size. PocketBeagle Specs... https://www.linux.org/threads/pocketbeagle-2-setup-imaging-and-internet-access.63047/

In this article, we will look at the Orange Pi 6 Plus and then we will go over the instructions to install Pimox on it. Pimox is a fork of Proxmox that runs on an ARM processor. The Arm processors may be slower, but the fork of Proxmox is nearly exactly like the one for regular desktop systems. The major difference is that the QEMU Server allows you to emulate different processors and not just have the Intel/AMD-64 processor types to choose from when making a Virtual Machine (VM)... https://www.linux.org/threads/orange-pi-6-plus-and-pimox-8-4-10.63046/

I set up an IRC server this week. irc.linux.org, port 6697, TLS. Main channel is #linux. There are also some other channels that have been created. NickServ and ChanServ are both running, so you can lock down your nickname and register your own channels: Code: /msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <your@email> /msg ChanServ REGISTER #yourchannel Once a channel is registered it stays yours, ops and all, even if you're the only one who ever shows up. If... https://www.linux.org/threads/irc-is-back-on-linux-org.70338/

The Arduino UNO Q is a new board that runs Debian. Using the Arduino UNO Q allows you to run headless, no monitor, since it does not have an HDMI Port as most other Single Board computers (SBC), but it is a very useful board for learning. Technical Specs Just looking at the UNO Q, as shown in Figure 1, you can see it is a much smaller board compared to a regular SBC. FIGURE 1 The specs are: Module ... https://www.linux.org/threads/arduino-uno-q-a-debian-linux-board-for-headless-projects.66951/
