I was tasked with creating a simple dashboard for a client of ours that auto runs on boot of the computer. This weekend I sat down to work on this and here’s what I found. First, make sure you go with Rasbian Server edition of the OS. I tried with various other flavours and it was a convoluted process to remove GDM or install LXDE and actually have this run with minimal effort....
Years ago I set this up with a bunch of convoluted scripts, and etc. No fun. Today I did a bit of research and found out how to easily setup your web server to pull updates from your git repo anytime you publish to it – the proper way. Here’s how to do it. First, connect to your remote web server ssh youruser@yourserver.com Note, we make some assumptions that you host your site in /var/www/html and that you’ve already added your ssh keys to your git server for both master, and production web server....
Ubuntu 20.x comes with GnuRadio 3.8 which is based on python 3, and, the latest and greatest.

Here are my notes on doing just that First, you have to install python2 and pip sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo apt update sudo apt install python2 curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py sudo python2 get-pip.py Then, you have to install the dependencies for GnuRadio...
Recently I’ve gotten into RTL-SDR / HAM Radio and have been working on getting this cool package of scripts working that’ll automatically grab NOAA / ISS and METEOR data and decode it! Ran into an issue today with wxtoimg. Since it’s abandonware it’s not possible to compile it, and the only binaries are for 32bit arm, not 64bit, which is what my Odroid N2+ is. Here’s the quick way of making it work on your 64bit arm computer....
Install adb so it’s in your path and ensure developer options -> usb debugging is enabled on your phone. You might have to accept the connection on your phone if this is the first time doing this. Now run adb from console # adb devices On the first run it should output this List of devices attached * daemon not running;starting now at tcp:5037 * daemon started successfully Now run adb devices again and it should look like this...
