Re: Install on a SD card bigger than 4GB

Ok. You need either a

Linux Computer
Unix shell on your Windows Computer (like cygwin)
Mac with a Unix Terminal

Be very carefull with the name of the SD cards below. If you use the wrong /dev/<name> you might delete your hard drive forever!


You open the Unix/Linux terminal window and ...

Merging weather data from multiple SD cards

As I was experimenting a lot with upgrading the debian linux on the SD card, I have three different SD cards which contain collected weather data. Is there any recommended way of merging this data in the folder "/weather/"?
Is it enough to merge the "raw" files with a perl script?
Is there any other ...

Re: Data export of non-weather data

This is no big difference between the different data types (weather or no weather) within meteohub. You just need to select the right data stream name. e.g. I push xml files this way. Store this file here /graphs/pachube-energy-template.html

Re: Install on a SD card bigger than 4GB

I run meteohub on a dream plug and did something similar. I bought a 16GB SD card. I used the unix tool "dd" to make a perfect image. Then copied the image on the new card. After this I increased the size of the partitions: about 5 GB for the root file system "/" and 10 GB for the data file system ...

Re: New supported Hardware: DreamPlug

In order to migrate I simply removed the "rsyncd" and "loggerd" boot script and successfully made it to Debian Squeeze:

meteoplug:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 (squeeze)
Release: 6.0.7
Codename: squeeze

Re: New supported Hardware: DreamPlug

My manual migration to squeeze is under way. The only and big issue is the change of boot sequence. During the distribution upgrade I get


apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
[...]

Unable to migrate to dependency-based boot system
Tests have determined that problems in the boot system exist ...

Re: New supported Hardware: DreamPlug

Updating to Debian Wheezy looks a little bit more complicated than I thought.
Getting a new Debian image for the dreamplug is easy. This you can download Debian Squeeze or Debian Wheezy here

Or you can even by a new SD card with pre-installed ...

Re: New supported Hardware: DreamPlug

I am using my DreamPlug happly since the last posts above. But as Debian Lenny is not supported any more I encounter some problems now adding new software e.g. perl is outdated with perl 5.10.0-19l

I am using now these package sources in /etc/apt/source.list

Re: Meteohub on Excito B3

The reason that I am asking is very simply. I don't want to harm the meteohub software in any way. So how do I adjust the
/srv/www/index.html file for thttpd?

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="0; URL=cgi-bin/meteohub.cgi">
</head>

in order to add a RESTful API?

Re: Meteohub on Excito B3

I would like to add my own software to meteohub on my dream plug: Using a REST API to control a USB-relais board.

Is there a more detailed description of the metehub software architecture? I could only find one picture on page 10 in the manual v4.7 http://www.meteohub.de/files/meteohub-v4.7en.pdf ...

Google Viz Charts

Over the past week I did some java script with google viz API prototyping. As I collect data from my energy manager with metohub over several months I have too many data points for a gnu-plot graph. Here is my current result:

Re: Upload to pachube

Thanks a lot "wfpost"! This explain my syntax question very well.
But leads to the next question: Which time is measured here?


Let's assume a sensor captures a value at time t0 .
The sensor transmitts data later to its console at time t1 (+ 2 min).
The console sends data to meteohub at time ...

Pachube can be triggered to send messages e.g. for twitter. Here is my first "debugging" event from my weather station. Really fun! Check out yourself at
