# Raspberry Pi Server
## Hardware
The design uses [openscad](www.openscad.org) for the design of the bracket.
You can use any slicer to generate gcode and print the bracket
- 3d printer and any color PLA
- M2-0.5 x 8mm screws and nuts for the raspberry pi
- to get the nuts in the cut out, you can use the pull through method, since
they are sized as a press fit (meaning very tight). I used a 12mm screw
to pull the nuts through
- M3-0.5 x 6mm screws for the hard drive
- raspberry pi, hard drive, USB-to-SATA adaptor
- I use a Startech cable I got from Amazon
- I use an SSD because it is low power, a spinning disk might cause brown outs for you pi
- [PiOLED 128x32 display](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3527)
- This is not necessary, but it is nice to display server name/address/performance
- `sudo i2cdetect -y 1` should show the display at `0x3C`
## Software
There is nothing here you really need
- [mote](https://github.com/MomsFriendlyRobotCompany/mote) for setting up the
command line, web server (node), and file sharing (samba)
- PiOLED is in the software folder
- [Plex](https://www.plex.tv/) maintains a version for Raspberry Pi, so you can serve up movies
## Changes
- **Version 4**
- Using all metric M2 and M3 screws now
- Cut out the front so you can get to the SD card easier
- Embedded nuts in the design, so they aren't sticking up on the top
- Updated the LCD script
- Linux release name
- Added kernel version
- Heartbeat is only 1 character now
- **Version 3**
- Raised the pi up higher on the pillars
- Centered the pi in the middle of the bracket
- Skeletonize the design so it doesn't use so much plastic
- **Version 2**
- Added a script for Adafruit's LCD
## ToDo
- I want to do an optional cover to protect the pi
- Maybe a fan?
- Maybe mount the LCD (or another one) differently
- Might be better to have it plexiglass instead of PLA?
