I wrote about how to control Raspberry Pi GPIO via web browser without using web framework or full blow web server about a year ago, today I’d like to introduce you an easier way to control Raspberry Pi GPIO via browser using node-RED. Continue reading “Control Raspberry Pi GPIO using node-RED”
I recently works on an IoT project which involving of rendering a dashboard using node-RED. I was wondering whether I could build a node-RED inspired dashboard gauge using D3.js JavaScript library, so I built one as a side project. Continue reading “A node-RED inspired D3 Dashboard Gauge”
I recently need to host a Flask web application, and decided to share my experience with this comprehensive guide on how to properly host a Flask web application with Nginx http server and Gunicorn WSGI server. Continue reading “How to properly host Flask application with Nginx and Guincorn”
Recently I build a web application which is basically an interactive transport system map that utilise the shortest path algorithm. The web application sounds trivial but it demonstrates a practical implementation of graph data structure and shortest path algorithm that you probably studied during your Computer Science subject. Continue reading “How to create an interactive transport system map with shortest path algorithm”
You bought your Raspberry Pi, and managed to create a python script to turn on/off an LED via GPIO. Then you are wonder “How can I control the GPIO via a web page”? This is a common questions been asked repeatedly on Raspberry Pi StackExchange and Raspberry Pi user groups. Continue reading “How to control Raspberry Pi GPIO via http web server”
Other than tinkering electronics hardware and computer programming, I spend a lot of time on cycling, this article combines my cycling hobby with my programming skill and talk about how to plot cycling route using Google Map API and Python Flask web framework. Continue reading “How to plot cycling route using Google Maps API and Flask web framework”
If you are a blogger and a programmer, the chances are that you will often shows some programming code on your blog. The codes that you shared may not be syntax-highlighted like what you see on your favourite text editor or IDE, but it is easy to add syntax highlight to your WordPress blog using Highlight.js (hljs). Continue reading “Add Syntax Highlight to WordPress Blog”
I never know there is a software called Google Software Update that is installed in my Mac without my knowledge and sending data back to google more frequent than it is necessary until a couple of days ago. Google Software Update is not a malware, but it behaves like a one. Continue reading “What is GoogleSoftwareUpdate.app on my Mac?”
On previous article, I wrote an Arduino sketch (i.e. program) for interfacing LCD 5110 display module with Arduino. Technically speaking the Arduino sketch that I developed is not an Arduino library yet. In this article, I will discuss on how to create an Arduino Library, or more precisely, how to convert the Arduino sketch into an Arduino library. Continue reading “How to create Arduino Library from Arduino Sketch”
In this article, I will briefly explain on how to create a Python class library to interface with LCD 5110 display module and shares the common APIs with the Arduino LCD5110 library that I previously created. Continue reading “How to use LCD 5110 (PCD 8544) with Raspberry Pi”
