“PiMac unibody” or a new home for my touch screen

In preparation for the JavaOne 2014 Session my 7″ touch screen from Chalk-Elec finally found a new home. I bought a 1 mm sheet of aluminium and treated it with my jig saw and a rasp and folded a triangle stand for the screen. Basically there would be room enough for e.g. a Rapsberry Pi… Continue Reading “PiMac unibody” or a new home for my touch screen

It was a pleasure to attend… Continue Reading RasPi does the Home Automation (Part V): Just around the corner

RasPi does the Home Automation (Part IV): Cut the ‘rope’

Hi all, until now all UI-Actions to control my wireless gears had to run directly on the Pi which controls the remote as e.g. deviceControl.turnOn(device); is called. But now I’d rather make a web service available for this purpose to be more independently. Question is: Which server should I use? Apache/PHP: too less Java 😉… Continue Reading RasPi does the Home Automation (Part IV): Cut the ‘rope’
