Started off 30 minutes into the new year by hitting black ice and completely annihilating my favorite car. Thankfully safe but Eris didn’t make it. Now for the DDoS fun…

Arduino Wireless Logging, Post Four: The Graphs
When I got all this data logged and running, I wanted an easier way to show data than spreadsheets or queries. The end goal was actual graphs to show trends and what not. Introducing “phpgraphlib”. This is an open source piece of code built to implement charts/graphs into webpages with ease. This took a bit …

Arduino Wireless Logging, Post Three: Mysql, PHP, and a little networking
Here’s where things started to get a little more complex. At this point, I have a wireless system to transmit data from multiple nodes to a central hub (node0) which collects and shows the data via serial connection. The general idea/goal is this: Arduino Nodes send data to central node Central node is connected to …

Arduino Wireless Logging, Post Two: The Design
This is the second part of the series for my Arduino wireless project I’ve been working on for a couple weeks now. You can start reading from the first post: https://aasullivan.com/?p=1146. We have the idea, now we have to build it. I have three Arduinos set up at this point in this manner: (1) Set up …

Arduino Wireless Logging, Post One: The Idea
I’ve had a number Arduino systems for some time now along with a large number of RF24 wireless modules and DHT11 humidity/temperature sensors. The idea I’ve had for some time is this: Arduino with a DHT11 sensor and RF24 wireless device pull then transmit data. Data goes to secondary hub/master Arduino using an RF24 module …

Arduino Home Monitoring
Lately I’ve been engrossed in a project to add some monitoring to my home. This includes temperature and humidity readings, along with monitoring for windows and doors eventually. This will be built almost entirely using Arduinos wherever possible. The Goal: To have a remotely viewable home dashboard to monitoring the house The Plan: Use Arduinos …
Latest Computer build: RAID fileserver and media center
Had the idea in my head for a while now about doing a fileserver build to put all my media in one place. This includes years of movies, music and TV shows along with about 100GB of music rips. The goals of this were pretty simple: Have some form of redundancy, most likely in a …

Monitoring System: Update 1
So I’ve been working with this project off and on, mainly off due to time constraints with a new work shift/promotion. I’ve split the logs and dashboard readouts to allow for easier pulling of individual data. What this allowed me to do was to couple this with WordPress using iFrame to load the individual pieces. …
Little side project: Monitoring System
Been debating on how to keep an eye on my home network and decided to take a swing at getting a monitoring system built from scratch to build my coding skills more. General idea: Have a list of devices stored in a database with information such as IPs and names Pull this device list, and …
