DIY: Home monitoring with Ruby & Pi

Ruby and RaspberryPi are available to us for quite sometime and this talk is meant to discuss how to use Ruby to explore things on a RaspberryPi. From a practical point of view, we will go through installation, setup, and build a simple Motion Sensor application on a RaspberryPi.

In a world we teach ourselves a lot of things, why not do it Ruby & Pi way? Let’s get our hands on a piece of hardware, understand what it takes to setup one up, install a couple of libraries, Ruby, RVM, RBENV, a GUI. Let’s get a couple of sensors: motion, temperature, humidity, tsunami, ectoplasm and see if we detect a cool thing or two.

15. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Microcontrolers & Motherboards ASUS Mini ITX Motherboards (processor bought separately) Intel GALILEO: Intel® Quark SoC X1000 Application Processor
16. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Stick PCs ASUS VivoStick TS10-B017D Intel Atom Z8350 Intel Compute Stick CS125: Windows 10
17. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Buy, Install, Setup
18. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Where to buy • If you are near Element14: buy it • If you are near Adafruit: buy it • If you are near Amazon: buy it • Otherwise: find micro center near you
19. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 What to buy • Depend of what you are trying to do • The basics: Starter kit (Pi 3, case, power supply, heatsink) and Micro SDHC • Extras: Camera, sensors, 7” Touch screen display Other gadgets
20. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Pi 3: Install, Setup • If your machine is Windows/Linux/Mac: https://developer.ubuntu.com/core/get-started/ installation-medias • If your machine is Linux: https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/
21. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Pi3: Install, Setup • My one tip to all of you: don’t use ‘bs=32m’ use ‘bs=1m’ instead
22. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Pi 3: OS Download • Ubuntu Core, Ubuntu Mate, Windows 10 IoT Core Core: https://developer.ubuntu.com/core/get-started/ raspberry-pi-2-3 Mate: https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ Windows (still on my TODO list): http://ms- iot.github.io/content/en-US/Downloads.htm
23. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Pi 3: Installation on Mac • More or less these were my steps: 1. Download the image, un-archive, insert SD card 2. Run:
24. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Pi 3: Setup • First boot: it will take longer • It may automatically extend the file system (Core) • Or you will have to do it manually (Mate) • Follow the instructions on the display • Configure your network • And an administrator account
25. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Pi 3: On a TV
26. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Pi 3: On a touch screen
27. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 Pi 3: From your machine $ ssh <Ubuntu user name>@<Pi IP address>

54. FOSDEM <3 Ruby 2017 (My) Home monitoring system experiment My theories: There is a ghost in my house There is IR noise near my sensor The sensor is broken Or can also be a bug in my code
