Updated 2019-01-07  !! Note !! Before Monterey !!  As a part of one of my projects,  the ultimate Weather site ?? Weather34 (W34), I needed a WEB-host with PHP and started to use a Raspberry Pi . In this post You will get some short install tips on Apache with PHP on a Mac with Mojave, macOS 10.14.x, and a t the end of the post the W34 installation is done.

Updated 2019-09-02 ! If you think it's ok that the broadband speed appears as temperature in Home apps  this plugin is very nice. The plugin, used with Homebridge (HB), measures Your broadband speed at chosen intervals. If You use the free app " Eve for Homekit ", besides that it shows the last measured broad band speed,  it also shows the speed history in a nice graph. Other  HomeKit posts  on this Blogg

Updated 2019-04-01 ! Prerequisites is listed in the beginning of the post for installation on  Raspberry Pi(RPi) You will find migration information, from WeatherLink 1.0 to WeatherLink 2.0, in this post

Extending Your WiFi via cable have the advantage, compared to extending via WFi, that You keep the bandwidth at max. Extending Your WiFi with products that use the same frequencies, as Your WiFi, will just put through 50% of the data flow. One way to extend the WiFi is with a cheap router, or maybe an  old router You  don't use any more.

Updated 2019-02-05 ! Using  Homebridge for a while , getting nice hardware to emulate Apples HomeKit devices, I finally decided to test IKEA:s Trådfri concept. The actual device that I was interested in is the wireless control outlet. But they have bulbs and other stuff that is really nice priced. This post will cover an installation of the Trådfri gateway with a HomeKit approach.   Other  HomeKit posts  on this Blogg

Upgrading from Jessie to Stretch can break the entire system so ALLWAYS do a backup. There are several sites/posts with "how to" information but the Raspberry site , the Linuxconfig site and the Superuser site ,  (where You can find more details about the upgrade),  made the base for this post. 

During summer 2018 Davis are updating WeatherLink to 2.0 (WL2). So if You have registered devices before 2017-11-28 You must migrate. This update is changing their website, as shown in picture, and API . Their API documentation is found here The following information is sent out in 2018-06 to users who still haven't upgraded to WL2

Updated 2018-06-07! The SignalK server(SK), the engine in OpenPlotter(OP) is coming with new releases pretty often and if You want to update, having used OpenPlotter RPI V 0.10.0 NOOBS , the following instructions will help You. I really recommend to start all over with a new fresh installation with the new OP V1.x.x.

TP-Link Deco  is a smart Mesh system that extends Your WiFi. It is pretty easy to install but there is no direct information in the install app, Apple or Android , about how to interconnect the Decos with ethernet.  Especially if You  must  keep the old Router. Connecting via ethernet is faster and more stable and also necessary if the Decos WiFi can't reach each other. Another post with DECO:s in router mode .

In a former post a I presented our approach to mix a modern NMEA 2000(N2) network with the older Raymarine ST 1 network, installed 2006. During the Years it has grown and been added with new functions. The pictures to the right is the actual layout. The first add on was a N2 GPS described here .

The ultimate bandsaw tuning video ?  Enjoy !

Updated 2019-05-12 ! I have got some questions which version we are using for the moment at the site vader.domsten.nu   The version is from 2019-05-12 and You can get the whole site code from here . Please note that I have done some modifications so if You want the original code please rename  menu.php

ViewSonic SC-T25, VS,  handles certificates , cert, for different applications in  Base64-encoded DER format . If You open the certificate file, with a simple text editor, it shall begin with  "---- BEGIN CERTIFICATE ----" and end with  "---- END CERTIFICATE ----" if it is the right format. The most simple way to load the cert, is to use "Method 1" . Please note that You log in with the  CLIENT , PC/Mac, user/password. Another method is "Method 3" . In this example I will load Citrix Intermediate Certs to the  SC-T25 from a USB stick.

This cost effective Thin Client is based on Raspberry Pi 3 and together with Stratodesk OS it is very versatile If You bought, or got, the thin ViewSonic client, VT, produced before date 2017-07, You can upgrade to the better Stratodesk NoTouch OS with out any cost. This OS  is the "standard" OS for new devices.
