Thank you, the netstat method is the output I need.

Hello, I am trying to write a script that would run on startup to check if openvpn server is running and if so light up a pixel on a blinkt. I am okay with the programming of a loop to check every 5 minutes if a variable is 1 and how to light the pixel but i need help checking the status of the open...

Good evening, I am working on an idea to projection map a rotating object turned by a motor mounted above it. The total piece of work will be 40 seconds long and loop continuously, I am going to (hopefully) use openFrameworks to map the content to the object but need your advice regarding rotating t...

Same problem for me today trying to install openframeworks The following packages have unmet dependencies: libegl1-mesa-dev : Depends: libwayland-dev (>= 1.2.0) but it is not going to be installed libgtk-3-dev : Depends: libwayland-dev (>= 1.4.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to corr...

Good evening, If you can offer me any advice on this idea I would appreciate it. I have a Raspi running as an environment monitor for a turtle terrarium, it has two BS18B20 temperature sensors one for air and one for water temperatures which emails me should one or both of them go out of the require...

Thank you so much for fixing my problem!!! i even went as far as re soldering the board thinking I had a hardware issue :S

So say you have a situation where you need to keep a machine awake (screensaver set to start at 5 mins) I will stress this is for legitimate purposes not to defeat security protocol. My thought was to use the pi and it's gpio to fake a usb mouse input moving randomly one pixel every 10 seconds. my r...

Good evening. I remember a while ago somebody building a huge LED matrix / sign controlled by the LED. I would like to do something similar but can't find their project for reference. If it is your project I would love to pick your brain. If anyone has links to a similar project I'm all ears. Best w...

Slightly off topic but I have used a Rpi as a sub screen in a pandoras box installation. The main media server has 4x outputs (cameras) but I needed so video cues on smaller monitors around the show. So I got Pandora outputting dmx and the pi recieving dmx and firing off the videos. No warping or sc...

Good Morning, I have a project in mind to assist me with my work but which is going to require a lot of help and research. I would like to create an input card for the pi which allows connection of a HD-SDI or component video signal to the pi for monitoring the waveform and vector of the image. A pr...

I just attempted to send power over ethernet, I spliced a PSU cable inline with the ethernet cable using Brown and White / Brown to carry power as they are unused. The power did make it to the Pi but it did not seem to have enough current to carry the power the 7 meters along the cable. The Pi would...

I should probably mention I am working on a model B Pi with Rasbian "Wheezy"

The script auto runs on startup and the unit is headless except for testing work.

Good evening fellow Pi eaters, I have been working on a project for a few months (lots of testing time) which sees my pi acting as a temperature monitor for an aquarium. My two baby turtles are happily swimming around whilst my pi watches over the temperature of their tank. At the moment I am using ...

Good evening, Can anyone tell me the correct term or better still the RS part number for the ribbon cable used to connect the RPi GPIO pins to a breakout PCB and the name/part number of the corresponding socket to solder on to said PCB. My prototype is built on to a breadboard using Adafruits cobble...

Good evening all, I have successfully coded a program in python to read temperature data from a BS18B20 1 wire sensor and log it in a daily email to give me an overview of temperature changes. My next move is to make this program run at startup, however I have hit a stumbling block. I have to issue ...

Good evening all, I am relatively new to Linux and RPi but that is not stopping me trying out some projects. So far I have been working on Rasbian with Python and GPIO.py to control external hardware with my Pi, However I have decided that Rasbian comes with far to much bloatware. I am looking for a...

Thanks for the advice,

How would one break a While True loop?

The finished and working code looks like this, #import mod import smtplib from email.mime.text import MIMEText import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time #setup gpio pins GPIO.cleanup() GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.IN) #Print message on screen print "Push button to send email," #sta...

Thank you everyone, I will post the results when I have tried them.

Hi All, I am trying to code a program (as part of my learning to use GPIO and Python) which will send an email once a GPIO input goes high. The code below should have waited for a button connected between 3.3v and GPIO 17 to be pushed and then sent the test email. however as soon as the program runs...

Thanks everyone,

The Education manual threw in an interesting development....twitter!

I will now work on making my Pi tweet the temperature readings from a protected twitter account giving me an hour by hour log of the sensors and potentially warning tweets @me

Many thanks

Hi Python gurus, I am working on my first project for the Pi using Python to detect a temperature difference via a sensor / GPIO pin, i have got it printing the temperature onto the screen but now I wish to add the functionality to leave the Pi alone monitoring the sensor and emailing me should it g...

benmason

Thank you both for your replies, some interesting potential especially with regards automating the heating of the tank. I will be trying to keep this project as streamline as possible at least for the first attempt, as such ideally I need to work out how to take a reading from the sensor and through...

benmason

Hi All, I am soon buying a tank to house some turtles. I would like to project a system where my pi monitors the air and water temperature via DS18B20 waterproof sensors. Ideally I would like the pi to email me a warning stating when either of the sensors are outside of set range (25-29 degrees Cels...
