Today I received a phone call and SMS text message that a flood alert had become active for the area I live in. After making preparations incase the alert severity increased I got to thinking; is there a better way to be warned about potential floods? One (quick) Google search later and I found that … Continue reading UK Flood Alert / Flood Data (Python)
So far I have looked at outputting the data from my sensors to Flask, Twitter and Azure. However, a simpler option could be to output the date to a CSV (Comma Seperated Value) file that could be used by various programs later on. I’ve placed the Python code to capture data from the Pi sensors … Continue reading Saving Sensor Readings To CSV (Python / Raspberry Pi)
Last month I added a Pimoroni breakout garden with a temperature/pressure sensor to my Raspberry Pi, and built a whole project around it. As the breakout garden has 2 additional slots that were empty I have decided to use one for the LTR-559 (sadly to my knowledge not a droid in Star Wars) Light & … Continue reading Lux Twitter Tweet Bot (Python / Raspberry Pi)
With the Python program (see part 1 and part 2) collecting Tweets from Twitter and then analysing the data via Azure to see if the sentiment is positive, neutral or negative it only means I am one step away from being able to retweet positive tweets. I’ve reused some of the code from my earlier … Continue reading Retweeting Positive Tweets, Or Part 3 Of Analysing Tweet Sentiment with Azure (Python / Raspberry Pi)
With the Raspberry Pi set up (see parts 1 and 2) it is time to expand the project. First up is bringing back the geektechstuff_automated twitter bot to get it to regularly tweet the room temperature. Thankfully my previous experience with Twitter let me reuse some of my old coding: And using a crontab I … Continue reading Raspberry Pi IoT Project: Temperature Part 3 – Tweet Bot (Raspberry Pi / Python)
Imagine this scenario; you have several Raspberry Pi computers and want to install the various packages (Apache, PHP, MySQL, WordPress) needed to make them web servers. This might be because you have a Code Club lesson where you want students to interact more with how web servers work, or if you are rebuilding a Raspberry … Continue reading Installing Web Server and WordPress via a BASH script (Rasbperry Pi)
There were often times when I found myself typing the same commands into the terminal on my Raspberry Pi and I with my knowledge of scheduling Python (.py) files to run via CRON I decided to start running my regular terminal commands as scripts. A BASH executable script is basically a text file saved with … Continue reading Making a BASH script executable (Raspberry Pi)
With it being the festive season and looking for something for my recent Inky PHAT purchase needing to be I used I decided to create a Countdown To Christmas. I started off with a basic countdown in Python, where today’s date (2nd) is taken away from the 25th (Christmas Day). Then I used the guidance … Continue reading Christmas Countdown (Python / Raspberry Pi)
The Microsoft Office 365 Endpoints V1 program did a good job of outputting the endpoint data into CSV files, but what if you wanted the URLs outputted for use as a PAC file? A Proxy Auto Configuration file tells a proxy how to handle traffic depending on URL, host or IP. Imagine the program running regularly … Continue reading Microsoft Office 365 Endpoints V2 (Python)
Tonight I’m having a brief look at Microsoft Office 365 Endpoints; https://support.office.com/en-us/article/managing-office-365-endpoints-99cab9d4-ef59-4207-9f2b-3728eb46bf9a?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#ID0EACAAA=4._Web_service in my current favourite programming language – Python. My target is to be able to generate the various Endpoint details into an updating PAC or WPAD file. Then I will look at the same in PowerShell. I’ve used the SMTP knowledge I got from my … Continue reading Microsoft Office 365 Endpoints V1 (Python)
