websockets and mobile networks and ssl

Gahhh.

Just going to ramble on this one:

Websockets is unstable going through cellular networks

Searched Google and solution seems to be SSL connections

Tried to implement, and it works to some extent,

but realized that I'll have to have both Apache, which was running my web front end, and Tornado both listen to 443 which cannot happen

Realize finally that Tornado is a SERVER just like Apache

Try to implement web client through Tornado

It works but Websocket server and the web client still different instances so still can't have both listen, or that's what I'm thinking but I don't have time to think about it at present.

Gotta sleep.

dabbling with cylon

I'm playing around with Cylon JS whenever I have the time. in order to use the leap motion for control, the hand control will need to communicate with the pc that is connected to the leap motion device (leap motion does not provide an arm/linux driver). it seems that Cylon devices can communicate with each other through socket.io or http, and I am currently playing around with that.

quick recollection on setting things up

If I can swear that the password is correct, then it's possible that I'm getting the ID wrong. Hadn't logged into the web server in a couple of months and was unable to SSH into it. After an hour or so, I ended up deleting the instance and recreating a clean instance (read: erasing everything). I then realized I'd been putting the wrong ID. apt-get install sudo apt-get install Anyways, some links I visited when setting things up (pretty much a dump of whatever I copy-pasted to notes) : Raspberry Pi http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/optimize-the-power-of-your-raspberry-pi-with-raspbian/ Logging http://docs.python.org/2/howto/logging-cookbook.html Tornado - Python webserver that supports Websocket http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2924991/what-popular-webservers-have-support-for-html5-websocket http://lowpowerlab.com/blog/2013/01/17/raspberrypi-websockets-with-python-tornado/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11695375/tornado-identify-tra...

alcohol sensor (and some patience)

Soldered the alcohol sensor into something that is connectable: I tried to connect this to the Arduino, as I had the appropriate circuitry, but I did not get any legitimate output from it. 5V going in, 5V coming out with no variations. Nothing seems to be awry in wiring, as the circuit seems to be grounded properly (and the 5V current is flowing). There are a couple of potential factors as to why I'm not seeing any results: - I'm using a 10k ohm resistor, while some guides (and the datasheet for the sensor) asks for 100-200k. However, there seems to be a good amount of people using 10k and getting at least some kind of result. A batch of 100k ohm resistors I ordered is on its way, so I guess I can try with them when they come. - This site claims that these sensors take 24-48 hours for its signals to be stable. It also tells me that I should not be powering the sensor directly from the Arduino, which I have been doing, out of concern that the power draw of ...
