As a bonus on the back of my posts about how to log temperature from your ThermoPro 350S with you RaspberryPi or in Linux and it's follow up of how to add the Heat Index calculation into the the mix using python I've also now got a calculation for MariaDB for you. It took a little time for me between working out how to log the data and writing   more »

As i found out when I recently tried to move the OS from my Debian desktop to a different hard drive it involves a whole bunch of faffing with live CDs and cloning utils with multiple attempts to get it right followed by endless faffing with grub and bootloaders to get it working properly. So when it came round to swapping my micro SD card   more »

You would have though it was a thing people would use all the time, but apparently not so after too much researching I cobbled together this: echo 'Field dumpData dump'; for each ($array as $key => $value) { echo '' . $key . '' . $value . ''; } echo ''; jobs a good   more »

This project has been on the boil for a while now, but I've finally got round to finishing it off to my satisfaction. I always wanted to see the elevation plot of my routes and rides but never really found somewhere I could get it from so after finding some code to parse the gpx log I've spent a long time fettling the output. Here's what you   more »

After jumping on the obligatory cheap PC / Linux server bandwagon, I was looking into the obligatory WiFi install. I was initially concerned I was going to have to pay through the tooth for an OEM version of the of the card. There seems to be a lot of chat on the interwebs of there being some BIOS locking involved restricting use to a few cards.   more »

Following on from my post of how to log the data from your ThermoPro 350S, I noted that the app also calculates the Heat Index - quite a handy metric as it measures the 'feels like' temperature taking into account the humidity. I'd been interested in the phenomenon after my travels last year through Spain as despite the scorching hot   more »

Back in the day I had to make my own data logger out of an ESP8266-12E wired to a temp and humidity sensor with custom firmware to log into my home WiFi and ping the results to a some custom PHP code to log! It's all pretty easy now days, IoT has come on so much we just call devices smart and give them an app. Whilst the hardware and app are   more »

Following on from my post of how to batch convert Garmin Fit files to GPX using Babel GPS in Windows, thought I'd follow it up with the equivalent Linux command. Obvs you need gpsbabel installed but run this command in the directory you are storing the files and you are away find . -maxdepth 1 -iname "*.fit" -exec gpsbabel -rt -i garmin_fit   more »
