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!

Finally got around to installing the RPi Camera
This weekend was pretty much a blur. I did manage to plug in one of the two cameras that I had bought for the RPi back a couple of months. I just followed the instructions that came with the cameras (remove tape from header next to the Ethernet port, pull up on both sides of the locking mechanism gently, insert the camera flexible cable so that the shiny part of the cable faces away from the Ethernet port, after ensuring the cable is all the way in, push down on the header lock). I then tried out the instructions found at http://www.raspberrypi.org/camera to test. Picture of the camera is below:
