Raspberry Pi uploading to MyDSLWebStatsFor those interested in using a Raspberry Pi to upload data, I've managed to get one working and actively uploading, although I need to tidy up the wiring that is currently going all over the place
I have never used a Linux command in my life having worked with Windows since the dawn of time so it was a bit of an experience. With help from Eric, roseway, and a few aborted installs, it now runs reliably.
You can see it logged on as
Crusty-rpi and it is using the same data as my own username but uploaded at a different time within the minute. It's using dslstats32RPi-5.1.2. OS is Raspbian running directly from an image on the 8gB SD card.
This is the basic B+ model running off a USB supply and HDMI o/p to my main PC currently. I also have a 3.2" LCD colour plug-in touchscreen for it but have yet to set that up. My desktop screengrab is attached from which you can see that it runs MyDSLWebStats okay as well in the Epiphany browser (the other one doesn't seem to have Javascript support that I could find). It is a bit on the slow side rendering the graph though as you might expect.
What I'll do is develop a page or two over the next week on my experience of setting it up and installing it and the pitfalls I encountered in the process. Eric will also kindly contribute as there are things I still need to do.
Hopefully this will then help anyone who wants set up a 24/7 low power 5v machine for the purpose. I'll measure the current consumption when I can find my USB V/A meter!
