cheers guys! has been a bit frustrating last few days, I summarised quite a bit of the last few days work, but had to go back and forth changing one thing then another and seeing if it holds steady or not. good news so far, the thing has run something like 20hrs now without an issue, so might well h...
sorry guys didn't update in a few days but that's cos theres a lot been going on and wrestling with one issue in particular. 3 white widow auto seeds have been soaking and popped out yesterday. since its cold weather though, im starting them in a propagator to give them a decent chance. they are goi...
The USB camera seems to be holding up OK now, hasn't crashed in the last 24hrs so maybe things not as bad as I worried. In any case its good that Ive implemented some debug output and email capability, so if any of the cameras is not playing ball I will know about it soon. also it attaches the relev...
good progress since the last update, got the new system all working as far as it was before the SD crashed, and continued the debugging on from there. Lots of little tweaks to the scripts since they are now running on timer as CRON jobs; plmon.sh : checks every minute what time of "day" it...
thinking of white widow seeds I have already, dutch passion. should give it something interesting to timelapse! the failed SD card issue started to re-emerge yesterday and the new Samsung SD card got screwed as well and the pi wont boot :( Bit of a pain but again all the latest changes were backed u...

Had to partition it out, seal it around and get ...
good stuff. managed to follow my own guide and use my backup files to get everything back up and running actually I edited a few of the earlier posts and added a bit more info which I thought useful, bit more on the NAS setup and also getting the GPIO config auto setting after boot.
bumped into a little issue earlier today btw, so it will slow things a day or so. Rebooting the Pi earlier it ran into a bootup issue and would not restart. After some digging I ended up picking up another SD card (Pi's OS runs from there, its the "hard drive" ) and setting up raspbian whe...
yes totally with you there, break it down into some kits easy enough to put together and use, then there are less barriers to selling it!! not too much smoke, not enough
lol teetee that is quite funny, pensioner network :) Maybe you are more right than wrong who knows!!! LEDDWCRigger - yes that was the model I was thinking of, leave the SW side open, they can modify and adjust and use as they like, maybe construct their own robot, or if they prefer get hold of the o...
