Docker on RaspberryPi
Installing Docker on a RaspberryPi might seems overkill, but it actually works pretty well, even if installing the tools can be a little messier if you don't know how to do it and you start searching the Internet for clues. After being intimidated by the many alternatives given to you to overcome the lack of … Continue reading Docker on RaspberryPi
nRF24 walk through – Introduction
The Nordic nRF24 is a family of silicon integrated radio transceivers operating in the 2.4GHz band, the most popular one being the nRF24L01. This is the core element of some extremely cheap module boards available in online stores like eBay, Aliexpress and Banggood. These boards do not provide WiFi (801.11) or Bluetooth connectivity (both in … Continue reading nRF24 walk through – Introduction
nRF24 walk through – Building the sensors
It's now time to physically build the sensor devices part of the nRF24 sensor network we are planning to build, so move to your electronics bench and pick some breadboards! From an electronics point of view each sensor node consists of: 1 Arduino (any low-end model will do, I will be using two nano and one pro … Continue reading nRF24 walk through – Building the sensors
nRF24 walk through – Sensors’ firmware
Let's move to the 3rd part of the nRF24 walk through series before the excitement cools off, shall we? Now that I have three boards wired and I'm certain only my code can break things up, it is time to create the sensors' firmware. It should be quite simple: all we need to do is getting the … Continue reading nRF24 walk through – Sensors’ firmware

Customize Transmission on Fonera 2.0N
I finally managed to nicely setup my Fonera 2.0N torrent client to work as I expect, even if it was not a very simple task. What I wanted was to use a separate in-progress folder for non completed torrents and a completed folder for... guess what! I found there are two ways to achieve this goal: … Continue reading Customize Transmission on Fonera 2.0N

Ok, that's not the very first time it happens to me, but I believe this specific time it was something worth sharing.My RaspberryPi did run out of space and all the files I was sharing through the attached 2TB USB hard drive were unreachable. I took the opportunity to perform … Continue reading Recover your (very) deleted files
nRF24 on Raspberry Pi
NOTE This post has been quite successful, so I decided to publish a complete series on nRF24 transceivers. I'm working on a home automation project and I'm planning to use my Raspberry Pi as central node of a network of cheap nRF24 nodes. First thing is to get the necessary compilation tools, something quite easy to … Continue reading nRF24 on Raspberry Pi
Artifactory and NamedVirtualHost
Today I needed to publish an Artifactory repository I've set up for my company to a first level URL, something like http://artifactory.mycompany.com: it revealed to be not as straightforward as I supposed to. Once haveing installed Tomcat, deployed the Artifactory WAR and checked that everything was running fine I needed to map the http://artifactory.mycompany.com URL to … Continue reading Artifactory and NamedVirtualHost
