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!

Building the ROS Core and OpenCV
I was able to have Presidents Day off and my wife is out to lunch with my daughter. This is a perfect time to get up to date with my RPi things. I decided to load OpenCV and ROS onto one of the 16GB SD cards. I am currently following the instructions on http://www.ros.org/wiki/fuerte/Installation/Debian. The instructions are a little old, but do have some steps for a Wheezy build which is the current Raspbian build on the RPi website. Apparently I performed some of this setup earlier but I don't remember it. I think that I am going to have to start keeping a logbook in order to make sure that I don't repeat myself again. That is probably a good topic for an RPi Tip.
