Today, I’m building a locally hosted (“On-Premises,” if you will) Kubernetes cluster that runs on three Raspberry Pi 4 devices. The goal is to get Kubernetes working and being able to deploy WordPress and MySQL on the cluster. But why?… Read More »Building a Kubernetes cluster using Raspberry Pi 4
Does anyone use the term ‘snail mail’ anymore? Anyway, I still use it to refer to regular posts and mail I seem to be getting each day through my door. We have a sticker on the door to avoid getting… Read More »Building a mailbox sensor solution using Raspberry Pi and a wireless sensor
This time it’s something a little bit different. Back in 2015 I ordered a bunch of ultrasonic sensors, with hopes that I’d be able to automate the detection of when people arrived at the office. We had limited seats, so… Read More »Building an automated monitoring tool to track how many people are at the office by using Unifi network gear and Azure Logic Apps
And here we are again – back to temperature monitoring! I wrote extensively about this three months ago in Building a Raspberry Pi-based temperature monitoring solution. I have a small cabinet in my home office, under my table that houses… Read More »Building a custom app using Universal Windows Platform and Microsoft Azure to monitor hardware temperature
I wrote about building a Raspberry Pi-based weather monitoring systems back in July, 2019. The solution utilizes Ruuvitag bluetooth beacons to measure temperatures and other data, and then submits those readings to Azure using Azure IoT Hub and Azure Functions.… Read More »Building a Raspberry Pi-based temperature monitoring solution with Sense HAT LED matrix display and Azure Logic Apps (and some LEGO!)
The Raspberry Pi organization announced Raspberry Pi 4 just a few weeks ago. I had to get one, and after placing an order, I received my RPi4 in only a few days. It’s a powerful little computer, with 4 GB… Read More »Building a Raspberry Pi 4-based weather monitoring solution using Ruuvitag sensors, Azure IoT Hub and Azure Functions
