Im very happy that there is a computer section on here! I have been working with computers for mpst of my life, and i would be more than happy to help anyone with anything!
I am not familiar with python, but i am currently researching itfleckothefennec said:I actually do need some assistance on this
Are you familiar with raspberry pi and python coding?
I'm thinking about taking the course python has online. One of my off grid neighbors has a few raspberry controlling cameras etc and they are programmed with python. Some are no longer working so they need to be replaced and programming re installed o them.SwedishAMAZING said:I am not familiar with python, but i am currently researching it
Hmm, maybe. If you are working to learn programming as a career or a side job, learn android development. This would mean Java, kotlin, and xml. Android will get you furthest i do recommend learning python or other languages in the future, as python will start to become more and more popular, but for now, stick with what will get you further in the meantimefleckothefennec said:I'm thinking about taking the course python has online.

Is it possible to just slave the program off the old raspberry and install on the new one?
FYI I am a mechanical definitely not a computer guy.
I think that you can program custom firmware onto raspberry pi. There is an SD slot where I can switch between a RaspberryOS card and a card that has firmware for integration with a microcontroller called GoGo Board, which is somewhat similar to Arduino.fleckothefennec said:I'm thinking about taking the course python has online.

the Raspberry Pi Foundation have released an easy way to set up your SD Card. It's called the New Out Of Box Software (or NOOBS for short) and provides a really easy way to install Raspberry Pi distributions. Be warned, however, that it is a 1 GB download - if you have a limit on what you are allowed to download, follow the instructions below, as the other images are around 500 MB.electricBread said:I think that you can program custom firmware onto raspberry pi.

you could have posted a link to the article... -_- lolSwedishAMAZING said:Holy crap, i hope this helps
1. It's good to know python since it's so convenient for many things. From a scientific perspective, python is not good for calculation-heavy code written in python (meaning that it doesn't include C-compiled libraries, which are faster). However, for people who use computers a lot, it's very useful to know.fleckothefennec said:I'm thinking about taking the course python has online.

Honestly, if I were in your position, and I assume that the cameras were manufactured and are being used for security, opt for an app that is compatible with the cameras. I would only resort to using python and building my own stuff if the cameras were that out-of-date or if the cameras are being used for something else.electricBread said:I think that you can program custom firmware onto raspberry pi.

Yes, but this he is trying to learn how do these things for himself. I think experimentation is the best way to learn.electricBread said:you could have posted a link to the article... -_- lol
also FYI I used BalenaEtcher to burn the SD cards.

2. I'm not certain, but I imagine that those raspberry pi's have python-running firmware. I don't know the specifics, like whether the python code is precompiled and uploaded to firmware, or whether it's like Arduino where you can plug into a computer and use a specific IDE. One thing I am more certain of is

all i'm trying to say is basically that python is good to know regardless, and the problem might have a more elegant solutionSwedishAMAZING said:Yes, but this he is trying to learn how do these things for himself. I think experimentation is the best way to learn.
Very true. I do believe python isnt where one should start programming. Starting with android dev is better, at least for a beginner. It will teach you java, kotlin, and xml. Android is also very widely used. This is all my opinion of course.electricBread said:all i'm trying to say is basically that python is good to know regardless, and the problem might have a more elegant solution
Personally, I started learning coding Processing JavaScript from Khan Academy. I actually meant to say that python is a valid place to start because the syntax is easy and the compiler allows for a lot of shorthand notation that is easily understandable. For example, AP ComSci Principles in high school primarily teaches python. I think that python is very useful for writing and executing mathematical simulations, as a more practical example.SwedishAMAZING said:Very true.

Im only a game developer lol, i know not what i do
Hmmmmm bad mindset already lolfoxcub said:know anything about SIMPL+ ?
is learning it realistic for someone who has no background in programming?
for work we pay insane amounts for crestron programming (well over £1k a day) and id love to be able to get some of that sweet sweet cash for myself. XD
