Summary. I use the Raspberry Pi for a wide range of projects including retro gaming, voice-controlled assistants, and IoT management. These posts demonstrate how I integrate various hardware components, Python scripts, and network protocols to create functional devices.

What the posts say

I built a compact retro gaming machine using the Pimoroni Picade kit and a Raspberry Pi.

“The Pimoroni Picade is a desktop mini arcade cabinet kit designed for the Raspberry Pi.” — Picade Console

I used the Raspberry Pi Imager to write the OS image and configure remote access.

“I used the Raspberry Pi Imager tool to write a standard operating system image onto a microSD card.” — Raspberry Pi Imager

I integrated the Google Assistant API with the AIY Voice Kit on a Raspberry Pi.

“This was resolved by installing Firefox, which properly handled the OAuth authentication flow required by the Google Assistant API.” — Voice Kit (Part 2)

I used Python to output text and graphics to an OLED display.

I used Node-RED to send and receive messages from an MQTT broker.

I used the raspi-config tool to modify interface options.

“I ran sudo raspi-config and selected the Interface Options menu option” — Gingerbread House

I configured a systemd service to launch the voice assistant automatically on startup.

I used the scp command to copy additional ROMs across the network.
