AWS Lambda: Getting Started with NodeJS
Setting up for a lambda environment can take a few steps, I’ve throw together a quick start guide for my personal reference to get up and running
Raspberry Pi Email on boot debugging
Often when moving a raspberry pi project around it’s IP changes. whether it is on your home network or a new one, it becomes a task to figure out it’s IP.
Managing l10n localization files
Over the past few years, I have worked on a few projects that require internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) configuration files. The best way I have found is to use the domain key approach. This allows for fine-tuned control in your translations to each “page” or domain.
Angular html5Mode state refresh using Amazon’s ElasticBeanstalk
Angular’s built-in routing works wonders. you can do so by either registering the route with the hash in the URL or you can states ( html5Mode set to true ). This will leverage html5’s push state to route URLs. Unfortunately, this will cause some issues when attempting to refresh the browser.
Raspberry Pi: camera video stream to host
While playing with the raspberry pi camera I found it hard to know if the camera was working or trying to tweak settings. I was using raspivid -f to preview the video. This was limited with being open for 5 seconds ( can be adjusted using the -t flag and passing it seconds in milliseconds ). The solution was to open a streaming video from the raspberry pi and view it on my host ( mac ).
Raspberry Pi – Sharing file between PI and Mac
Mounting the raspberry pi home directory to avoid the push / pull game with git can become painful. It’s relatively straight forward to get shared folders using the appletalk protocol
Raspberry PI RC522 Setup

Virtualizing the Raspberry Pi for local development
Starting new projects can be difficult, especially when the need arises to develop / debug. It is key to have a development environment that closely matches the same hardware / software production environment it will be run on in production.
Best IoT Crowdfunded projects: Inspiring innovation success
The Internet of Things is still a new tech kid on the block. People are innovating and achieving the impossible. It can be tough to quickly make sales, also something you create might not have customers. This could lead to a problem. You might waste a lot of time and as a result, depletion of funds can happen. Worst case scenario would be if customers do not like the product. There is a way of tackling both ends of this problem, crowdfunding. Crowdfunding has enabled innovators to follow their heart and seek funding from people. The customers get to use a prototype of the product and the innovator gets the return. Here are some of the best crowdfunded projects in the world of Internet of things (IoT):
How to become a Full-stack IoT professional: From Disciple to Sensei
