SteemPi v1.0 is here!
I'm happy to finally present to you:
SteemPi v1.0
Runs on a (Raspberry) Pi single board computer that connects to your TV (HDMI) and shows the SteemPi web interface with the press of a button on your TV remote, it shows useful Steem related information, apps, links, cointickers and it has some entertainment as well.
Beside the functions of the web interface, the SteemPi system can also notify you on Steemit profile updates, with LED light notifications.
You can now install SteemPi onto your (Raspberry) Pi in 3 simple steps.
The SteemPi tutorial and files can be found on the new SteemPi Github
Some coding and linux experience is at this moment still useful to get started, but if you don't have this experience the tutorial, commands, and the comments in the "ledscript" and "index.php" will (hopefully) help you get more experience and it will explain what you can change and customize and how to add features to the SteemPi interface.
SteemPi v1.0 Features:
- Easy 3 step installation
- Led light notifications when new replies are recieved on your Steemit blog posts.
- Realtime Google Trends charts https://trends.google.com
- Switchable header apps

SteemPi v1.0 board compatibility list:
Raspberry Pi 1...............Untested, should work
Raspberry Pi 2...............Tested, works
Raspberry Pi 3...............Untested, should work
Raspberry Pi zero..........Untested, should work
Raspberry Pi zero w......Untested, should work
Bananna Pi series.........Untested, should work
Odroid..........................Untested, Should work
Orange Pi series............Untested, should work
(Orange Pi: 1, 2, plus, plus 2, mini, mini 2, pc, one, lite, pc plus, plus 2E, pc 2, zero plus 2)
SteemPi probably also works on other single board computers that are compatible with the Wiringpi GPIO library.
The boards can be bought on-line, or find and support a local reseller.
Prices for those single board computers range from 5,- to 50,- usd +/-
Special thanks to @dehenne for helping with this project.
Please let me know, if you have it up and running, and let me know if you have questions, requests or sugestions etc.
Could this be programmed to output pulses to a GPIO pin when SBD are sent to a specified account?
I would like to emulate a coin mechanism and create a Steem-powered arcade game.
I will create a feature request issue for you ;-)
If somebody have more ideas or some feature request:
best regards
hen
Hi thanks for your interest in SteemPi
Could this be programmed to output pulses to a GPIO pin: yes
when SBD are sent to a specified account?: no (not yet only on replies at this moment )
you say that it can be controlled with a TV remote, but regular monitors work too right? I don't have extra TV's but I have extra monitors lol
That's ok, too :-)
Yes will work *if your monitor have HDMI
or you can access the interface also from a webbowser on your pc
Thank you. This is great. Reblogged and voted. Will use this in the future.
Thank you so much! We appreciate feedback
This is so awesome! Been wondering what to do with my raspberry pi for quite some time. Really cool project! Thanks a bunch for sharing!
You really should give it a try it is a fun project and more features will follow
This looks pretty cool, going to have to do some more reading to check out all the features. Thanks for doing cool things with inexpensive technology for the community!
Thank you for your reply and lighting up the LED :)
"Thanks for doing cool things with inexpensive technology for the community!"
Nice :) makes me smile
Thank you . For the next weeks we want to implement new features and an easier GUI for TV's.
That is awesome, will be looking for the update here
I'll be giving this a go. I've plenty of Pi's lying around.
Thanks, that would be awesome :)
Maybe I'll have a go tomorrow.
Thanks for lighting up my day :)
it is very useful, you will not easily miss a reply and if you have a few of them you could for example put one near and connected to the TV and one near your computer monitor.
What case(s) do you have ?
You might (Or might not. :-D) want to look at this on my site http://www.cannon-linux.co.uk/?s=frankenPi
I have Pi's 1,2 and 3 some in cases some not. :-)
Thats useful, i have seen them before, with combinations of:
But i use a 220v to 4x USB adapter and two loose cables for two Pi's. but your reply reminds me: next time i should buy at least one of this cables with 2 or 3 x micro usb connectors.
Thanks
Do you have this case ?
Yeah, actually have that. It runs ArchArm
If you would change it to use this case with SteemPi we might have something for you.
Wow this a very great tool i've never thought that something like that would exist.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 lying around, which i used previously as a webserver, but this is a much better use than it was before.
Thank you for sharing. And please keep us up to date for futrue anouncements.
Brian
Hi Brian,
Thank you and thanks for commenting, a new announcement post is in the making and is planned for tomorrow :)
And you could try to run the webserver and SteemPi together to have both functionality and be ready for our next updates.
Keep us posted about it
Really cool project!

Do you want more earnings?
By doing things above you will give us more STEEM POWER (SP) to give you more earnings.
Keep up the good work!
