I would like to share a nice ‘secret’. I want to introduce you to the Starship prompt! This is a getting started guide for Starship. I’m using Starship every day.

Raspberry Pi – Camera Module + Motion

In deze tutorial leg ik uit hoe je de Raspberry Pi kunt opzetten / configureren met de Camera Module. Deze module is niet standaard inbegrepen bij aanschaf van de Raspberry Pi.

Ik leg ook uit welke software je het beste kunt gebruiken voor het detecteren van beweging. Verder bespreek ik stap voor stap hoe je het beste je netwerk kunt configureren. Ik sluit af met een lijstje met handige commando’s die je zeker gaan helpen tijdens het project.

Kortom, een mooi projectje voor in het weekend! 🙂
