Discussion: optimizing code for web apps?

I like to write web apps and host them myself on the pi. I'm no code ninja. I write in Python which is a great language, but not the fastest or memory efficient. To overcome liabilities I've found some tricks. I'm sure these are probably obvious to most people so I'd love thoughts about other ideas ...

Playing music in sync on multiple Pis

I made a simple Python script to allow multiple Raspberry Pi's to play music in sync (ideal for cheap Wifi-based multi-room audio). I've tested it on Raspberry B and B+, and it works pretty well (sometimes the sound will cut out if they get out of sync). The tricky part in synchronization was accoun...

Re: Open-source internal positioning system for tracking ind

This will definitely work with the Raspberry Pi as the client (using our demo server), or you can run it as the server AND client. You can simply run the accompanying script: https://github.com/schollz/find/blob/master/computer/fingerprinting.py after you pick a group name and use the demo server ht...

Open-source internal positioning system for tracking indoors

We have developed a new, open-source framework for internal positioning. https://github.com/schollz/find What is internal positioning? It's the ability to monitor your location within a home/office/business to resolution within a single room (or better). Typically that is done using motion sensors, ...

I have a 5 gallon bucket of water suspended 5 feet in the air and I want to use an RPi to control the water coming out of a hole in the bottom of the bucket (it goes to a drip irrigation system). This is about 2 psi of pressure. I've tried two kinds of solenoid valves attached to the bottom of the b...
