Fix OpenStack / RDO / Havanna network

After installing openstack on CentOS with RDO package (installation I recommand as it is really easy) I had some issue with network : the bridges were not connected to the physical network and well configured so I was not able to communicate with any VM created.

Here is how I solved this issue …

Raspberry PI RF433 transmitter shield

A lot of you are coming to my blog for RF433 with Raspberry PI content (here). This article is a small part of a larger project I have. As part of this project I built a Raspberry Pi shield including an RF433 emitter and receiver. I could sell this shield to some of view if it make interest to you. To make it I selected emitters and receivers to get the best quality / price compromise.  (read my other articles on this topic) I could sell it around 60€ + port.

Update : chek this article for all informations on the shield and buy it !

Problem with nvidia raid and grub2

It’s not the first time I have some trouble to setup grub2 correctly with my nvidia raid system (also called fake-raid) … I did not find exactly why, but for sure i never try to install grub2 correctly from yast or in manual mode.

The first solution to find was : how to boot a fresh installed system when the bootloader has not been configured. The solution is here : http://www.supergrubdisk.org. This tool is really simple and so efficient to boot !  I recommend to have this in your linux emergency kit !

The second solution, once the system has start is to reinstall a bootloader. Here, in fact the solution is easy : destroy this f**** grub2 and replace it by the legacy really good grub ! lol

Then it works … last step to me: understand why gnome is taking so long to start ?!? or the answer is in the question …

I love Linux !

Makefile quick how-to

Many years ago, I was considering myself as a specialist of Makefiles … But now, I know that Makefile science is not like bicycle and you may loose all this knowledge as soon as you start to java Code …

So I’ve to go back to Makefile school again and here are some of my googling notes on this topic for my own remembers and why not yours !

Program Yabbas (AtMega328p) Over FTDI cable

The last step to use a ATMega328P / Yabbas from the Arduino IDE is to plug it with a FTDI cable (TTL RS232 over USB). Personnally, I’m using the TTL-232R-3V3 to do it. The first step was to create an adaptor to transform this cable output to the YABBAS pinout.

How to burn AtMega328P arduino bootloader on Yabbas

Recently I made a Yabbas arduino system ; this is a low cost arduino (7€) you can DIY. I’ve made it with a group of people from my city (look here) and my daughter. During this session we have finished the prototype but not had the time to flash the AtMega328P.

Now this is done using my Arduino Leonardo as an ISP programmer. I’ll detail the way I’ve done it here

Oregon Scientific sensors with Raspberry PI

After mixing different source of information, I was able to decode some Oregon Scientific sensors to get Temperature and Humidity indication, over the air, on 433.92MHz, with a Raspberry PI system. This article gives some details of this adventure …

You follow this implementation at your own risk…
