My Raspberry Pi Pool Timer Project — Bill of Materials
(Previously I discussed the the why of this project, the parts I selected to build with, setting up the Raspberry Pi itself, the electronic assembly, the mechanical assembly in the backyard, and the Rasptimer software I wrote for it.) Here’s the project bill of materials, not counting things like that I replaced or improved “while […]

My Raspberry Pi Pool Timer — Mechanical Assembly
(Previously I discussed the the why of this project, the parts I selected to build with, setting up the Raspberry Pi itself, and the electronic assembly In this post, it’s getting serious: I put all the parts together in place in the back yard.) Recall that I got into this project because an old electromechanical […]

My Raspberry Pi Pool Timer — Setting up the Raspberry Pi
(See this post on the why of this project, and this post on the parts I selected to build with. In this post, I describe setting up the Raspberry Pi itself.) Update 2013/01/12: Using wpa_supplicant to automatically reconnect to WiFi base station when needed. This turns out to be remarkably simple: Steal the HDMI cable […]
