RE: How To Automate Your Curation With A $5 Pi Zero, A Micro SD Card and USB Cable

in #automation8 years ago

Figure it will, but need to ask, this does also work on the regular raspberry pi as well with the WiFi, or Ethernet cable right?

Thinking this would be awesome tool to set up! Will @clayop voting bot also work our does it need some work to get done?

I am revising votum to be more universal and to use @furion's steemdata, and public steemd node, and consequently one don't need to run his/her own node but is able to use powerful options (e.g. voting by reputation, mirroring other curators, etc.)

Awesome can't wait thank you. I'm very excited to test it out. Sound like some cool updates your working on. Thank you for the heads up.

This is simply to setup the pi zero to work with your PC/laptop with just a USB cable and have internet. So whatever bot you can compile on a regular pi you can do it on a pi zero for the most part without changing the script.

Sweet I will then look to set up my pi here in the next couple days. Thank you for the post, Seems easy enough, and should also be a fun side project.

@smysullivan, I may have misunderstood what you were asking. If you wanted to setup using the usb as a data+power port, that's not possible on a regular pi. This trick works because the pi zero has a micro usb data port, and a micro usb power port. The regular pi's only have a micro usb power port and regualr USB ports that is not tied to power on the pi

That is ok, your explanation was good for me, I love technology, just have not worked with the pi, so I had simply guessed it should work to automate from my pi, and you said enough that told me I would be able to, plan on trying this out soon.
