Temperature control for a sous vide water bath is a popular application for hobbyist microcontroller kits, with lots of well documented projects out there. My favourite is the Sous Vader – if only for the attention to detail in the decal on the box. I’ve been planning my own for a little while, and got […]

In part 1 of this series I looked at ladder board, and in the next part I plan to review the Gertboard. This post is about Quick2Wire‘s boards, where I’ve been fortunate enough to try out some alpha and beta samples. Quick2Wire concept There’s an interface board that connects to the general purpose input output […]

Raspberry Pi Alarm
I set $son0 a summer holiday challenge of building an alarm system that would send an email (and it seems that I’m not alone). I was pleased to see that the latest edition (#4) of Magpi has an alarm project so we set about building it together. The hardware came together pretty nicely, but the software […]

Password dump checking
Leaks of (badly secured) password files seem to be big news at the moment. In many cases people set up sites to allow you to see if your password was in the leak – but who knows whether these sites are trustworthy. That’s not a risk I’m happy to take. Python provides a reasonably simple […]

I often find myself having to rename a bunch of media files. This would be easy if it was just a matter of finding ‘foo’ and replacing ‘bar’. Sadly though I regularly have a list of numbered ‘foo’s that I want to be a different numbered ‘bar’s (e.g. foo_04 -> bar_01, foo_05 -> bar_02). Normally […]
