Re: [Wlug] Help with water level problems

by Tim Keller

What you're looking for is called a "waterbug" It has a pair of dry contacts that close a circuit when it gets wet. you could set up an arduino, or just wire it to a buzzer.

I can't help on the Arduino stuff except for the most basic of stuff (yet). I do remember seeing an article about a home made sensor using wires and table salt encased in paper. When the paper gets wet, the ionized salt + water conducts electricity. On Sat, Aug 18, 2012, at 09:00 PM, Eric Martin wrote: Hey all, I had a close call with my hot water heater this afternoon.

Help with water level problems

by Eric Martin

Hey all, I had a close call with my hot water heater this afternoon. I heard on odd noise in the pipes and it turned out that my hot water heater was dumping water out of the overflow valve. Luckily, I found it quick enough, and I'm pretty sure I got it handled for < $150. There's a 1 Gal bucket under the overflow valve, and if I had a water level detector emailing me that water is in the bucket, I could have caught this earlier. I was looking at buying an Arduino and setting up a simple circuit. I know a few people have played with Arduinos, any suggestions on which one to get and how to go about it? I don't need to know how much water is in the bucket, I was thinking about a float type device or even two wires that trip a relay. I just want a heads up that water is in the bucket so I can stop before my basement floods. Thanks in advance, -- Eric Martin

Re: [Wlug] A question about KMS API's

by Jason Couture

I apologize for the abbreviations. Kernel Mode Setting and Framebuffer, I found stuff on the framebuffer, using ioctl's, and mmap to work with the graphics, but I can't find any documentation on Kernel Mode Setting (Other than how to use it with Gallium/Intel/Nouveau etc). Basically, We tore the entire userland out from under the kernel, because we don't like it, and we have our base laid out and ready to go, but we want to __start__ with the graphics, and not make them an afterthought like that monstrosity X is. Want to write a small graphics API using the frame buffer (Keeping kernel mode setting in mind for when we switch to hardware acceleration) to design and test the UI using drawing primitives. Reason for wanting to know about Kernel Mode Setting: KMS gives the smooth transition (and from what i understand, also moves quite a bit of the graphics code to the kernel) that you get on say, ubuntu switching from a boot splash to the login window. We'd like to replicate that, but obviously alot more work has to be done before we get there. At least want to know what I need to keep the code ready for it, if that makes sense. Please keep in mind that no libraries can be used for this, only available binaries are ones written by myself, not even gnu libc is available. Only calls involving the kernel headers are available. The framebuffer, As i've said, I figured out. need to be mmap()ed, and ioctl is used to set/query various operational parameters (Resolution, refresh rate, manufacturer) I am not going to modify the kernel at all, with the exception of a builtin command line, I don't think i'd call that a modification though.

Anyone know anything about the KMS API? From userland? I'm working on a project and would like to use KMS/FB directly, as at boot there will be no binaries available except ours, No libc even. Just a few static binaries. if anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated it.

Re: [Wlug] Wlug Digest, Vol 106, Issue 5

by Karl Lind

Hi Chuck, It doesn't have to be 2 HDMI compatible outputs. It just came to me that the Pi has a composite video and a stereo audio out port too. One of each would be super as I have power supplies, keyboards and mice for both my Pi's. The four OS's (which might be overkill for time) that I plan to bring for the demo are Raspian (a Debian distro that is running a web server), Gentoo, Fedora and OpenELEC (an XBMC type distro). Also if possible Ethernet access?

Re: [Wlug] Cross-compiling for Windows

by Jason Couture

If that doesn't work, try dependency walker for windows. http://www.dependencywalker.com/ I use it to view exports, but it also builds a list of required DLL's for you, showing you a minimum set required to run. it can also be run in batch mode, with no GUI. Useful for scripts.

Cross-compiling for Windows

by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com

I cross compile a program for windows on my linux box. After doing so I grab all the dlls and package them up. Typically this involves grabbing what I knew was needed and then testing on a windows box to determine if anything is missing. Is their some program in wine that can output what dlls are needed (like ldd) so I can write a script to package up everything? Obviously it doesn't generally change except when I upgrade to a new Fedora version but it would be nice to automate packaging everything. Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com

x86 Android VM

by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com

Has anyone played with the x86 android images? I've tried running it under kvm but can't seem to get networking to work. I tried 4.0 rc1 a while ago. Looks like I may have found my answers on the release notes. It says ethernet doesn't work. Looks like 2.2 is the last version with working ethernet. That's disappointing.

Karl, When are you going to do this talk? I can bring my Pi as well. I am running Debian on mine. I'd also be interested in what others may be doing or would like to do.

September meeting topic?

by Karl Lind

Howdy all, I would like to give a talk on the Raspberry Pi project and I have two of them to demonstrate various OS's (I have worked with the Debian and Fedora implementations and look forward to the others as they come out.). I have four SD cards, so that's the number of OS's I can bring with me. Have a great summer! Karl
