Smart Headless RPi - Sends you a direct message in Twitter

Smart headless RPi Tweeting RPi Problem: Ever find your self wondering what the IP address is for your raspberry pi is once its headless and you need to remote into it, or even which network its connected to? I wanted to know which access point my RPi is connected to and its IP address, and so i wrote a little clever program that lets me know just that.  This python program looks up its SSID and IP address then sends you message on twitter. You can use crontab to run this program on start up. on github: https://github.com/sherkon18/SmartHeadlessRPi sys,socket, fcntl, struct, socket, array,os from time import sleep from twython import Twython Device_Name="Your Device Name" time.sleep(30) #get IP address def get_ip(ifname):         s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)         return socket.inet_ntoa(fcntl.ioctl(                 s.fileno(),       ...

IoT Project - Using Adruino,Wifi, Xbee and Xively

Image
IoT Project Mission: Find a way to collect sensor data with many endpoints with one central coordinator to process the data and communicate it to the internet. Endpoint: Tempterature Sensor and Xbee Series 1 Module (E) Coordinator: Arduino Uno, Wifi Shield, Xbee Series 1 Module (C) Software: Arduino 1.0.5 IDE | XTCU Difficulties: Receiving data packets from endpoint to coordinator, i still couldnt figure out how to convert voltage to temperature. It seems its more complicated than voltage to tempature, because it involves high/low bits received. My limited time and knowledge have stalled the project, but the theory was proven.
