Setting up NextCloud on Raspberry Pi

Bikash Narayan Panda
NextCloud

I have a NAS running OMV which also hosts the PLEX media server, which serves all my media needs, but when it comes to documents and software which I always download a lot, it is always a cumbersome process to manage them all. I download lots of datasheets and software for different projects which I tend to store to avoid the repetitive download of the same items. So I thought of trying out som one premise file hosting solutions like OwnCloud and NextCloud. I checked both and settled with Next…

Raspberry Pi as Torrent Machine

Bikash Narayan Panda

I wanted to download torrent content and for that, I was not interested to use my PC as most of the time it gets switched off (Due to my day job), and I was looking for uninterrupted download. So I picked up a Raspberry Pi, laying around, and set it up with deluge and VPNBook free VPN. So basically the post is all about how I set it up. Here we will be setting up the deluge daemon and the web UI as well to the raspberry pi. The Deluge…

Appliances Control System using Raspberry Pi and Node.js

RPi GPIO Programming using Arduino Web IDE

This is a Raspberry Pi based project using Raspberry Pi and Node.js which lets the user control appliances connected to the Raspberry Pi. Node.js acts as a server which serves a UI for the user to control the desired appliances. According to the input by the user, the node.js script running on Raspberry Pi toggles the GPIO required and the state of the device connected to the GPIO, gets changed.As most appliances operate from AC supply, mechanical or solid state Relays has to be used to control the appliances. The…

RAK831 LoRa Gateway

Lately, I have been working with LoRAWAN and I don’t have Lora gateway around. As you might be knowing LoRAWAN network requires a gateway to push data to the internet. As Lora is not an IP based protocol the gateway helps it in doing so. Basically, multiple LoRAWAN nodes transmit data to the gateway and the gateway transfers the concentrated data to server backend. Server backend which resides in the cloud contains a network server which helps in managing the network and the application server which is responsible for the data and…

RPi GPIO Programming using Arduino Web IDE

Recently Arduino has launched support for programming ARM-based SBCs by using the Arduino web editor and Raspberry Pi is one of the SBCs in the list. This video is all about the basic setup to get started with the programming of the Raspberry Pi GPIOs by using Arduino codes. The setup is pretty simple and will help you if you are more comfortable in the Arduino ecosystem as compared to python. More depth functionalities are yet to be checked.   Bikash Narayan PandaDeveloper, Tinkere, a proud Dad.. love to spend…

Access Watchdog Timer of Raspberry Pi using JAVA

Bikash Narayan Panda

This tutorial is all about using the watchdog timer of Raspberry Pi by using JAVA. For this, we are going to use Pi4J library. Watchdog Timer: “A watchdog timer (sometimes called a computer operating properly or COP timer, or simply a watchdog) is an electronic timer that is used to detect and recover from computer malfunctions. During normal operation, the computer regularly resets the watchdog timer to prevent it from elapsing, or “timing out”. If due to a hardware fault or program error, the computer fails to reset the watchdog, the timer will elapse and generate a timeout signal.…

Firmata with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

Firmata is a protocol that is used to communicate with microcontrollers from any tablet/pc over the serial interface. There are implementations of this for other platforms too along with Arduino. You can find support for this if you are using any Arduino IDE released after 2008.Use of this protocol lets you access GPIO of Arduino from any host device natively without uploading the sketch each time you change the sketch. You can use Arduino as ADC for your Pi as it doesn’t have native ADC pins, you can also interface…
