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 .

ViewSonic SC-T25 and certificates

Image
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.

Qubino flush dimmer 1-10 V

Image
We bought a nice LED lamp,  Nemo Ellisse Pendant Double ,  which was said to be dimmable, but when receiving it there was a big IF  !!!  The lamp was not "standard" dimmable, instead it was dimmable with 1-10 VDC or 100 Kohm potentiometer. The 1-10 VDC control is common in big installations, in public environment, since it can control a lot of lamps with one dimmer. Checking the lamp I found that the AC/DC LED driver was a Mean Well LPF-90D   and in t he drivers specification  the second IF was  found !! The lowest control level didn't switch of the lamp

Sometimes You want to "take home" Your latest trip on sea and "replay" it or replay it doing some changes in the settings for the OpenPlotter or OpenCPN applikation and se the result direct.

Updated 2018-06-26! If You started with my quick instal guide You are a little familiar with OpenPlotter, (OP), basics and now we proceed with the sensors.

RPi, Raspberry image backup to Mac

Image
Updated 2018-02-14 ! This backup method will make a copy/image of the whole card even if there is very little data on it. So if the card is 16Gb, the backup file also will be 16Gb. On the other hand You can ZIP the image file to save space. Another, maybe smarter ?,  backup method is described here .
