Screencast

I made a little screen cast showing my project in action:

Looks very good!

The only thing I would suggest is something to set the type of tags written to mp3 files. iTunes (among others) chokes on v2.4 which is the default setting for Picard. (Picard writes valid tags but many others do not.)

Setting up a Raspberry Pi for OSX using a direct ethernet connection

Image
The Raspberry Pi is a great piece of hardware. However you don't always want to hook it up to some screen and keyboard when working with it. I in fact never did since I like to do everything using SSH which is enable out of the box if you are using the raspbian distribution. So just hook it up to your router and start hacking. But what if you have no router and only you Mac?
The Raspberry Pi is configured by default to receive an IP address from a DHCP server. So you need a DHCP server.
This can be done using the sharing option in OSX. Just set it up like that, ignore the warning about your ISP, since you are not connecting to anything but you Raspberry Pi. You can also share your wifi-connection if you are at home but if you have secure enterprise wifi this option doesn't work. Once you have enabled this option just connect your mac and Raspberry Pi using an ethernet cable and THEN connect the power to the Pi.
Also note that you don't need a cross-over cable, any normal …

Realtime bokeh plotting with asyncio

Now and then the need arises to plot data in realtime. I know how simple this is using LabView but I always pefer Python for its versatility in data analysis.
However when it comes to plotting data in realtime I have never seen any easy solution for Python.

For my daily plotting needs I mostly use matplotlib but the Bokeh project is currently ahead when it comes to interactive plotting for the web.

Another exciting development has been Python3's asyncio which is python's native approach to an event driven framework. This puts python in the spotlight for io-bound applications for which people would use node.js.

Combing the Bokeh and asyncio allows building an interactive, realtime plotting application in less then 30 lines of code. I did not find any official documentation on how to do this so I decided to provide my own adapted from the official example here. I suggest to have a look at the official example to get a better understanding how the asyncio version works. In essen…

OpenDNS Fritzbox Howto

While I did some research on how getting this to work I saw many people trying this without success. Here is the definitive guide on how you use OpenDNS with your Fritzbox:
Make sure your firmware is up-to-dateEnable telnet
Login over telnet and type "cd /var/flash/", "nvi ar7.cfg"Search for overwritedns1 and overwritedns2 (they appear two times each) using the "/" key and "n" (next search result).
Press "i" to get into edit mode and enter the opendns server as noted in the opendns linux guideESC brings you back to command mode. ":w" saves the file and ":q" closes the editor again.type "reboot" to restart the fritzboxRestart you networking and you browser. The OpenDNS Site now should tell you that you are using OpenDNS already. Now you can create an account, set it to dynamic DNS, add network and login to dnsomatic.Now login to fritz.box using your browser and enter the following dynamic DNS settings: Update …
