Raspberry Pi ready with a web server, ftp, VNC and GPIO web control
Finally after a week or so of messing around with the Raspberry Pi I have it all ready and working. I have installed Apache, PHP, FTP, VNC, MySQL. The web server is serving 3 sites, including a PHP service, and I can now support my own home temperature…
Our AC/Heating system is driving me nuts and I can’t get it calibrated in order to keep a balanced temperature around the house, kid’s rooms are boiling while bedroom and living room are freezing so I developed a prototype of an iPhone temperature logger using the http://www.weatherdirect.com/ system. The goal is to help me look at historical temperatures and then calibrate each room air flow to equalize as much as possible the temps. The system is comprised of:
- 4 thermometers
- base station
- Mysql database to hold the temperature and humidity data
- PHP service that retrieves the temperature from the Weather Direct site and stores it in the database at 5 minute intervals
- a PHP service that retrieves the name, temperatures, humidity and timestamp data for posting on the iPhone application
- iPhone app putting it all together
Next phase is automation of the air flow. Still thinking…

Scientists have developed a porous material with unique carbon dioxide adsorption properties.The findings, published in Nature Materials, form part of ongoing efforts to develop new materials for gas storage applications and could have an impact in the advancement of new carbon capture products for reducing emissions from fossil fuel processes.
