Raspiblitz: RaspberryPi 4 Shopping List Updates

[rootzoll]

With RaspberryPi 4 (supported by v13 of RaspiBlitz) the need for new shopping lists comes - on this issue we can collect items and then put it out as new setups.

A SATA to USB adpter recommended by openoms:

Please pull this from the list, it does not seems to stand the test of this USB Attached SCSI (UAS) driver issue: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=245931
I think that is the reason why my node hanged and never managed to sync until I used the X820 board instead: https://geekworm.com/products/x820-v3-0-usb-3-0-2-5-inch-sata-hdd-ssd-storage-expansion-board (just to be clear on this the USB port is not aligned with the RPi4, so not a good solution.)

There is a new X825, but rather pricy 32.99 USD (+import tax and postage): https://geekworm.com/collections/raspberry-pi-4/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b-x825-2-5-inch-sata-hdd-ssd-expansion-board

Desperate for a suitable SATA-USB adapter for the RPi4.

The 'Development Board Enclosure' from MULTICOMP PRO (https://nl.farnell.com/multicomp-pro/asm-1900147-61/rpi-touch-screen-case-red/dp/3106155) in combination with the original Raspberry Pi 7" touchscreen seems like a very nice setup.

[rootzoll]

@snieders the 7" touch would be another screen form factor which the RaspiBlitz is not ready for ... maybe in the future with the graphical touchscreen mode. But its a nice setup :)

The Pi Hut has better availability of the 4GB RPi4 model than pimoroni.com.
Could include in the list for the Maximal package: https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b?variant=20064052740158

Considder the Shim Fan or the Aluminium Heatsink Case also for the list.

Actual testing the heatsink case now. But for the IBD it also gets 82°C... :/

[openoms]

@CryptoSigmund the shim fan is on the list already. The heatsink case is insufficienct if it gets to 82°. It does not make it above 60° with the fan.

Consider replacing Power Supply with this one:

Hey,

for the Switzerland shopping list you could add Pi-Shop.ch, got my Rasberry Pi 4 there as well as a fairly priced 32GB MicroSD card from SanDisk.

[rootzoll]

@f-daniel thanks ... adding this issue to the v1.4 release to update the Switzerland shopping list.

@rootzoll

@f-daniel thanks ... adding this issue to the v1.4 release to update the Switzerland shopping list.

I made a complete change to the "shoppinglist_ch.md" based on the pi-shop.ch on my local machine. So if you want, I can create a pull request for that. I've just replaced the display with a version, which is easier to order in CH and recommended from the pi-shop.ch.

[rootzoll]

@0xjacobb sure - please submit the pull request :)
EDIT: Found the PR thanks!

Re: Canada shopping list

I had all kinds of problems getting Raspiblitz/rpi configured...several times starting from scratch on SD and SSD. Turns out that an inline pi switch (in my circumstance CanaKit USB-C PiSwitch On/Off Power Switch for Raspberry Pi 4) was causing all kinds of power related issues on the SDD resulting in input/output errors, problems ssh to device...

Once the switch ws removed, everything worked fine. I didn't think that the SSD would have been hyper sensitive to power supply. FWIW, be mindful of this when buying kits.

[rootzoll]

@danhoule I updated the Canadian Shoppoing list (now most of the parts are available from canadian amazon anyway). I replaced the CanaKit with the a single Pi4 and the org raspberrypi power supply - see: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/master/shoppinglist_ca.md
