IoT Temperature Monitor using Raspberry Pi and Android

So last weekend I realized that I had a lot of time on my hands and wanted to do something fun. Then this struck my mind. An hour later I was at an Electronics Shop (Bangalore fortunately has a lot of ’em) picking out a Temperature Sensor.

Getting Started with the Raspberry Pi

This post is long overdue. I have been playing around with the Pi for over 6 months now and  the stuff you can do with the it is endless and amazing .

Configuring OpenVPN for Android

VPNs can be used to access restricted / blocked sites . Let me show you how to set one up in your Android Smartphone. OpenVPN Connect for Android supports various VPNs and can also connect through a proxy, so I will be using that.

Raspberry Pi powered File Server on your LAN !

So , I was playing around with the Pi and ended up making a file server on my LAN. Its pretty cool because you can access the files on the connected hard drive once you are connected to the network.

Just finished setting up my Pi !

Long time no post and I’m back home. So,I bought a Model B+ yesterday and just finished setting it up. I faced a whole lot of problems but I somehow managed to get past them ( Thank you /r/raspberry_pi )

The Real WhatsApp on PC tutorial ( Works behind proxy !)

To all those who have a crappy phone which can’t run WhatsApp ( I feel you bro), the struggle is over! Its easy to set up and this way you can run any Android app on your PC ( On any OS!). What I’m gonna show you is how to set up the Android Emulator called Genymotion. Genymotion has a lot more features when compared to Bluestacks and supports proxy authentication. Before you begin please know that you CANNOT RUN WHATSAPP ON YOUR PHONE AND PC SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Drony Settings on Android

Drony helps apps like Play Store and Whatsapp connect to the Internet when you use a proxy server which needs Authentication.

R.I.P. iPod Classic

My iPod Classic

With the capacity to hold over 35,000 songs, I never had to choose what to sync. Smooth video playback ( though having to convert videos into the supported format was a pain) and an awesome battery life , this  is  was one of Apple’s best products.  

IITG Lan: Torrents

Torrents are invaluable. The quality of stuff you get is awesome and recently released games and movies can also be obtained without much hassle. And its free! IITG LAN blocks torrents but as usual , there is a way to bypass it. Its pretty easy too.
