Normally the Pi specific nodes don’t run on any other platform. The GPIO node for example would try to call a pin which is simply not there. Why do you wanna run Pi nodes on windows? For convenience of programming or are you planning to connect a Pi somehow with your PC?

I wish too 😅 So in case you know someone at UKposts, make sure to tell them to boost my channel 😅😁 Thanks for your feedback and your comment! Likes, comments and sharing content helps with the algorithm a lot! Also let me know if there are any topics your interested in!

Thank you very much for your feedback! I prefer videos for learning too, trying to cover all the topics I always missed on UKposts, all in one format. Was always getting annoyed watching a different channel for every topic… Good luck with your studies!

API key is correct for sure?

@@blueprintiot Yes its correct.

Thank you, keep going, learning new things is always motivating and worth it!

Thank you! If there are any other topics you’re interested, let me know!

Thanks man! If you have any other topics of interest you would like to have a video about, let me know!

Thanks for your feedback! Let me know if there are other topics you would like to see a video about!

Thanks for your question! Your talking about data stored at thingspeak from some other source you wanna transfer to NodeRed and use it within NodeRed?

Yes@@blueprintiot

Thank you :) Let me know what other topics you would like to have a video about!

Hi, thanks for you good question! I just measured it, including the connectors it's almost exactly 2m Hope this helps you, otherwise feel free to post further questions! All the best

Hi @Rafael, thanks for your question! As many things in electronics it comes down to industry standards. As mentioned 5V is very common since it’s the USB voltage. So for many DC DC converters, power supplies and so on are available, mass produced and so for cheap. 3,3V in the meantime is exactly 2/3 of 5V, so a natural step from 5V, easy to achieve with a 10k / 20k Ohm voltage divider. In general highly integrated chips like microcontrollers, CPUs and so on are working with even lower voltages (to high voltages increase the risk of arcs if you put circuits closer together to miniature). So it’s easier, so to speak more efficient and cheaper, to step down from 3,3V to let’s say 1,2V than to step down from 5V to 3,3V. Those are all technical reasons burnout really comes down to manufacturers settled on certain voltages. Same way as you have different bus communication protocols.

Thank you!

I’m asking this myself every day ;D I was trying to find out how to record the screen for some of my node red videos and wasn’t able to find a proper explanations, so decided to make this video, so others can use it…. Feel free to send it to any other people who might benefit from it!

Thank you!

Are you working with Thingspeak on a project?

@@blueprintiot yes

If I'm working on a smart greenhouse, I send the data to a web page.

Interesting opinion! I was using the 8266 in many cases, simply because the performance was sufficient and so for I had no reason to spend / waste the extra performance of the 32. Anyways since the price gap is becoming smaller I would also opt for the 32 more often, simply for the backup performance.

What I’m missing is a board with even less performance and even smaller price. Use case: one sensor, to be wireless. Any recommendations? One GPIO would be enough + wifi / BLE

​@@blueprintiotthe ESP01 HAS WIFI and twj gpio pins.. very small and very cheap. But no Bluetooth

@@stedunn563 that's a really good input! Actually used them before, but only to make the Arduino Uno Wifi capable :D Weill definitely try whats possible! Should I document and put a video together about the testing and what's possible?

Thank you and thanks to everyone commenting! Great to experience different perspectives from all around the world!

Thank you!

Redmi phone also has multiple separate computers in it. Even sim card has a faster processor than a c64 to run its java applets.

One thing it doesn't have is many ports and it can't run a different OS.

@@dbsirius It can run different OS no problem and with USC-C dock you can have as many ports as you need.

Sure, do you have any specific types in mind?

Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you for your feedback! If you’re I retested in other topics / projects, let me know and I’ll put it on the list!

😂😂😂 True, haven’t seen it before, but UKposts approved it anyway 😅

Absolutely! Total change for prototyping and customising!

You’re welcome! Let me know if you have any topics you would see a video about!

Thx for insight! Do you have a video or website about your project?

@@blueprintiot No but I am on it. I keep you here updated. What about your project?

100% recommended

Eventhough the wifi version is a bit bulky, I think you just unlock a lot more use cases…

And if you really want to habe a LeD matrix on the Minima you can always get a shield or external one …

@@blueprintiot looking at the schematic for both versions, it seems like the LED matrix make use of NC pins from Minima. Then there are a few NC pins on the ESP. I think it would be interesting to see an Arduino R4 Mega, making more GPIO available.

@@blueprintiot I mostly agree with your point, that you get a lot extra with the WiFi model. I'm not surprised if there will be clones with either WiFi or LED matrix

That’s really up to your setup. Personally I’m on a MacBook Pro 14“ M1, so I just use the adapter from micro SD to SD that comes with basically every micro SD card you buy. But used a micro SD - USB A adapter in the past…

But please check this more recent video, covering only Balkens etcher. Flash Raspberry Pi OS using Balena etcher - full process ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fIiUhYStZH2kumg.html

Anyway thanks for the feedback! Actually a video about micro SD cards is on the way. There are major differences to speed, cost and most important durability. So stay tuned for this more detailed insight in micro SD cards!

Consider an ESP, even comes with wifi… Or is there a specific reason you’re looking for an Arduino product? Simple wifi capable microcontrollers - Arduino Nano IoT vs ESP32 vs ESP8266 vs Raspberry Pi Pico W ukposts.info/have/v-deo/qKN1mISeh4aE0Ik.html

@@blueprintiot I want a 5V based MCU. Almost all the capable MCU now are 3.3 V. I use the boards in a 5V environment. Of course you can do levelshifting etc. But would be nice to avoid it.

I think the LED matrix can come in handy for instant visual feedback during development…anyway we have to take into account the education use cases where an out of the box LED matrix is useful for beginners. For other usecases I would also prefer ESP boards, maybe build quality is a pro for arduino…anyway, super interested in all the arduino use cases some of you may have where other boards are no alternative….or the reasons why you opted for arduino…?

@@blueprintiot Thanks for the input, Blue. I'd also be interested in what your viewers are doing with it. As well, I'd be very interested in what the Arduino people thought justified the expense in real estate, matrix components, and pick-and-place assembly time. The only 'visualization' I've seen so far is a crudely rendered Christmas tree and a heart-shape for whatever reason. I mean, what alternative functionality did they reject for that real estate?
