Do you know about the SignalK workspace at Slack ? It's a really nice space where you could meet the developers and also get support. If you don't are active there you can get an invite filling in your e-mail adress at http://slack-invite.signalk.org I'm following the dialog on Slack and for some weeks ago I stumbled over a post from @chris saying that you could get, with internet connection, the online charts from Eniro displayed in Freeboard. As you see in the picture it's just for the Nordic countries. Another post installing offline charts .

Updated 2022-02-21 ! If You are interested in building Your own weathersite with information from Davis Weatherlink(DWL), and don't are a skilled programmer I can really recommend Node-Red(NR). In this post I give an example how to start with the NR dashboard GUI and DWL V1 API. !! Please note new version with the latest v2 API !! If You want a more advanced weather site/template  this is  a very nice one coded in PHP.

There is a post, l ink will follow below, from the Raspberry Org site  which  is very informativ and handles how to connect your external hard disk, SSD, or USB stick to any of the USB ports on the Raspberry Pi(RPi), and  " mount "  the file system to access the data stored on it.   So there is no need for a rewrite and this post will therefore continue with how to connect to a Windows server , (Other SMB or Samba servers will also work), both temporary and  automagically  at boot.  Check this post RPi booting from an USB drive !

The gasket on our Kamado Joe was falling off after a very hot pizza cooking project. After some Googling, search link here , I found several post where people, to my surprise, used 3M™ Super 77™ Multipurpose Spray Adhesive. I'm surprised due to it's just specified to handle up to 65 °C, 150 °Fahrenheit.  It was also not available in the nearest shops so searching a bit further I found ...

Updated 2020-11-30 ! Sometimes you are doubtful about the performance of your home network, or versus the ISP, and wonder, where is the bottleneck ? After some Googling I found some favorite applications, implemented on a  cable connected  Raspberry PI(RPi), which do the job so You can start measure and stop guessing. A speedtest,  checking Your ISP, with just a bash script for Your home network

Updated 2020-07-10 ! systemd is service manger which autostart jobs and it will even  restart the Homebridge(HB) job if it fails !   Keep it simple !! New post with  a script which handles the setup automagically !! or use the latest HB install where this is included. Other   HomeKit posts   on this Blogg

During my AIS project with SDR:s as receivers I built my own antenna for use at home,  a standard DIY dipol antenna .  I connected the dipol, to SDR antenna input, with an  a female  SMA extension cable  which I cut it in two pieces and soldered to the dipol.  For the boat I didn't want an extra VHF antenna so....

An introduction to the SignalK(SK), Marine application, is given  here . A very easy way to measure temperatures with SK is to use one wire (1W)  DS18B20  (DS)temperature sensors.  In a former post the DS:s where connected direkt to the RPi GPIO:s, but in this post they are WiFi enabled via the Shelly 1 (S1). Alarms are also sent when the temperature exceeds a set value. If humidity is of interest You can use a   DHT22  sensor instead of a DS sensor.

Updated 2023-10-10 ! You can use one   Raspberry Pi to Make Your home automation devices appear in the Apple Home App Being the Z-Wave controller HomeKit enable Your Z-Wave devices HomeKit enable Your devices registered at Telldus Live HomeKit enable IKEA Trådfri devices  Homekit enable temperature with sensor  DS18B20 HomeKit enable Broadband speed If You have other products there are more than 4200 plugins  available A new simple install  !! is found here  so skip the below info if you aren't interested of the old way!
