After many months of testing I think I finally have a aquarium controller for my fish.The new PCB fits on top of the raspberry and so far has controlled the aquarium without issues. -The input on the board is 12V. It has a 3A DC-DC converter to power the Raspberry.-Lights (On/Off) are controlled via the […]
I still had a bunch of Raspberry Pi2 not doing anything for a while.So I started a new Project to run a little cluster of Raspberry’s my goal is to run most of my docker containers I use on a daily base of the Pi. we start with a fresh rasbian-lite image. First we update […]
I started of with the latest raspbian lite image since I don’t need a GUI for this. After the image is created you need to copy an empty file with the name ‘ssh’ to the boot partition ( else you can’t ssh into the Pi) Let’s upgrade it before we start compiling: sudo apt update […]
Some easy steps to install kodi on raspbian Update the Pi: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get rpi-update reboot sudo apt-get dist-upgrade reboot Install Kodi sudo apt-get install kodi For the remote control we need to add group to kodi sudo adduser kodi input Now we can start Kodi by running: kodi & If you want […]
On an Raspberry Pi this process will probably take more then an hour.(Sit back and relax once you typed in make..) Before installing kismet from source we need some apps from the repository. sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libpcap-dev libpcre3-dev libnl-dev -y Now we can download and compile the source wget http://www.kismetwireless.net/code/kismet-2013-03-R1b.tar.gz tar -zxf kismet-2013-03-R1b.tar.gz cd […]
Before we can start with this on the Raspberry we need to make sure we have the NFS Server up and running. In my case this is a FreeNas box that has multiple disk running in zfs raid. After the share is set up on the server (/mnt/pool1/pi) we can switch to the Pi. First […]
One of the most important thing on the pi is to have decent backups, since our root is on an untrusted sd-card there will always be the risk of that corrupted filesystem. Over on raspberrypi.org I found a script that fits my needs and uses dd to make a copy of the sd-card and stores […]
I like low-power devices that you can leave somewhere for some interesting research. Therefore I need remote access to it and turnout it was an easy task on the Raspberry Pi. Lets first do a general update/upgrade to make sure the pi is on the latest software.. apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade -y Now lets install […]
