Need help graphing things...

I am using a Raspberry Pi and a BMP085 to display barometric pressure and temperature. However, now I want my Pi to graph these things. EASILY! I've looked into many Python graphing methods, and they don't seem like the kind of thing I need. Do I really need to know calculus to graph some numbers? I...

Store beginning data?

I am creating a temperature monitor with a BMP085 temperature sensor/barometer. It's working fine. But now I want the program to store the starting temperature and pressure as startpress and starttemp. When a keyboard interrupt is issued,I want the program to print the end temperature/pressure as en...

Re: Sticky IP addresses?

Didn't help. Followed all suggestions (and by the way, I am using wifi and am on an A+), but it still doesn't work. In the wifi setup during boot it sends and receives some packets successfully, but the Pi than returns. Bound to 192.168.0.14. :cry: :x !!!

Sticky IP addresses?

I am trying to run two Raspberry Pis ( and SSH to them) at the same time. Problems arise when both pis choose the IP 192.168.0.14. I am really confused. I tried https://www.modmypi.com/blog/tutorial-how-to-give-your-raspberry-pi-a-static-ip-address to make my Pi's IP adresses' static. I FOLLOWED EVE...

Completed!

I made this project, however, I did not use the raspberry Pi, as it is totally overkill. Instead I found a little led controller from a broken led lantern and used it to flash my helmet light. The temperature didn't effect it, it was powered by two little key batteries, and when I failed on a rail, ...

FTP to wunderground?

I want to use FTP to transfer an image to WunderGround Weather using the camera module and python-picamera. I have installed vsftpd and ran it, however I do not know how to get it to save pictures not to my local ip, but rather to weather underground. I need very detailed non-technical instructions ...

LED ski helmet?

I had an idea to stick a raspberry up to the top of my ski helmet and have it flash some LEDs. I have many questions about this: 1. Will the Raspberry Pi function properly in temperatures in the negatives (Fahrenheit)? 2. What protection will I need so if I fall my Pi will not break? 3. How will I m...

Can you wirelessly transmit GPIO signals.

So let's say that I want to put a GPIO temperature sensor outside, and have a Raspberry Pi inside with an lcd attached to it reading the GPIO signals and displaying them to the lcd. I do not want to place my pi outside as I am measuring overnight in very low temperatures, plus the added convenience ...

DS1820 Temp sensor on different pin?

I am using a DS1820 temperature sensor with my raspberry pi. It only works if it is connected to GPIO BCM pin 4, however, in my project, GPIO pin 4 is going to be used by the Adafruit LCD Pi Plate display. Here is my python code: import os import glob import time os.system('modprobe w1-gpio') os.sys...

Arduino Nanpy Problem

I am using the Nanpy library to control an Arduino Uno. I have Arduino IDE installed on my Pi and it works fine. I successfully installed the library with no errors. But when I use the code, the L led of the Arduino flashes 3 times, then the RX led flashes once, after that the Arduino reboots and do...
