WPA Mode Not Immune Either

With WEP, I was losing my WLAN link every few hours. WPA is only an upgrade to a "few days". I had to reboot my Pi today just to be able to get back in from my PC through Putty..

The Trouble with Mr. Motion

I thought this one was a dream come true..

I guess not, unless one's a PhD in computer science. How the hell is one supposed to fix stuff when it doesn't behave as expected? Yuck!

...

A thousand apologies! It works!! And the picture quality in the movie isn't bad!! I could recognize myself on this crappy camera! Just use winSCP to port the swf file over to windows and look at it with Chrome!! Phew! Now, where can we go with this?

I did update the _port to 8081 (original) instead of 8085, but that shouldn't be necessary..

I thought I should give it some credit and half-heartedly went in the living room and turned on the light and thought that should qualify as motion - since the successive frames differ considerably and - yes! There's a tiny .swf file there and that's exactly what it shows! Looks like christmas light lighting up the room - a 0.5 second movie - on/off/on/off..

Excellent work by Kenneth Lavrsen.

Please help out Jake Beningo :

Here's some stuff from his latest course :

Script Automation

•Login Automatically
–sudo nano /etc/initab
– comment out
•1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 tty1
–Add
•1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f pi tty1 /dev/tty1 2>&1
•Script start on login
–nano ~/.bashrc

–At the bottom add “sudo python /path/pws.py”

So, what's my problem? How the hell are you supposed to find out such stuff on your own? Is this teaching or spoonfeeding? Do you want to give a man a fish or teach him how to fish? A good teacher makes himself unnecessary. You need to motivate finding out such information and teach how to go find it!!

Oh Jake

Get your act together man :)

rpi-serial-console status

cool. That works.

rpi-serial-console disable

Serial console can only be disabled by root user

Okay, no big deal, you run again as sudo. But, when you're broadcasting to so many folks through a reputed host, isn't it a good idea to double check everything? How hard is it to hire a college freshman for minimum wage to do this - couple hours at most. For all you know, a python script could easily check out all your code snippets..

Then, few slides down, more frustration.. "Setting up the UART". How the f are you supposed to get the 2nd window that shows the serial-port interaction? On the PC it would be realterm.. What are you supposed to do on the Pi?

Here's a potentially useful resource : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da5Q7xL_OTo

The Genius of Jake Beningo

Phew, the guy gets paid to teach this stuff :

if State == 0:
          GPIO.output( GREEN_LED, False)
          State = 1
else :
          GPIO.output( GREEN_LED, True)
          State = 0

within a while loop. Yuck.

He made State an integer. Dude, why?

Here's the right way :

GPIO.output( GREEN_LED, State )
State = not State

Screw You Adafruit!

wpa-ssid "ssid"
wpa-psk "password"

indeed!! Not true!

No double quotes! At least not on the Debian they sold me!

I was eventually going to try that, but got there faster thanks to seeing this :
