This is a blog mostly about techie things, what I am doing to my apartment network on the cheap, IOT, 3D Printing, Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, ESP32, ESP8266, Home Automation, Personal Weather Stations, Things That Go Bump in the Night, and some side issues that need discussing. Remember, sometimes the journey to an end is as much fun as the goal achieved!

Just ordered a PiFace
I was lucky enough to stumble across the fact that Element14 had a PiFace for sale at $32.40. I bought one, primarily to use it for experimenting with the GPIO interface and to control some other things that I have been thinking about. I will post a picture and information when I get it in hand.

Updates to the RPis
So, I went to MicroCenter this afternoon and got a few items to fix up my 3 RPis. I was a little nervous getting new SDs since I couldn't remember which type of SD worked in the RPi. I took a chance and got four 8GB type 10 SD cards. When I got them home I attempted to install the latest Raspbian using the instructions from http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup. I was successful with the first one and now I am putting the OS on three of the cards. The fourth card will have XBMC loaded on it.
