Raspberry PI Projects

After about a year or so of having a couple of Raspberry PIs I have at last got them interfaced to the real world, well realish. Two projects, so far!.. more to come, we hope. A Stratium 1 NTP server and a Nixie Tube GPS time source.

Lightning Radar & Weather Station 2013

I have just got around to publishing the construction details of two of my biggest projects this year (2013), These both started at the beginning of the year. I took the Weather Station down end of last year (2012) and decided it needed a make over, see here, and also I built a new lightning radar as the last one rotted away!

New ToolTips on Temperatures

I have just added some new functionality to the site. You can see what date and time the Maximum and Minimum temperatures from my house monitoring system have been registered. Also, new popup graphs, showing the locations temperature over the last 24 Hours! Just put your mouse over the maximumm, minimum temperature or Location, and a tooltip with the details will appear.

Weather Station & 1-Wire Temperature Sensors

Hello, I'm pleased to anounce that the weather station is back, after a 6 month refurb, so far it seems to be working fine. I will post an article soon on the work that took place. I have also published an article on making the 1-wire temperature sensors I use to monitor the temperature around the house. I have a number of other articles and pictures to publish, and also I'm starting the rebuild of the lightning radar.

Site updated to Joomla 3.0

After many hours, I have managed to move my site over to Joomla 3.0, fixing a number of the modules it uses on the way that did not work on 3.0, so well pleased. I now have to finish off a number of new articles.. humm.
