Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all,
For your information.
I came across a bloke, Rui Santos, who has a blog called RandomNerd (there are other non-electronic ones with the same name). There are some interesting documents on various sensors (eg DH22, DS18B20 etc) which are free to download (you have to enter your email).
There are other substantial e-books which cost of the order of $20.
Here

I now have lots of additional reading . . .

Cheers, Andrew

I've gotten notifications for some time from this RandomNerd blog. Much of it is Arduino, so not of interest to me. His ESP8266 stuff was useful.

Recently he had a blog post on CCTV with Raspberry Pi. I had unused Pi3, PiA, and PiZW, so ordered some cameras and got it working in an afternoon. The camera hub software could also see my two existing non-Pi-based cameras and display their streams. USB V4L cameras also work on the Pi clients.

I'm still fine-tuning the motion detection so I don't pick up every swaying branch, but there's a very fine line between way too much and nothing.
