Beta testers wanted for pimon.org

Such a Pi-oriented service should of course run on a cluster of Pi boards.

There has got to be a better and nicer way of displaying and using that information.

Is it automatically updated, or manually?  from my impression it is manually updated.

Also:  program did not run correctly.

Can't locate common/sense.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /root/pimon/bin/../lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /root/pimon/bin/send line 6.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /root/pimon/bin/send line 6.

Any ideas?

Hi Cian,

any suggestions regarding the presentation of the information is much appreciated! I also think that there should be more interactivity and maybe more pictures to demonstrate the information in more visual way.

Regarding the Perl problem - I have removed the dependency on common::sense module in the code - much appreciated if you could test again.

The data are manually updated, but you can set-up the cron job to do that every 10 minutes or so. Ill put some more information on the page about that.

Thanks for the feedback - that is exactly what I need!

I won't have time to test it tonight but regarding the presentation of the information, I believe that you could make it look a whole lot better by including graphs and maybe (if it is possible) live information streaming every 2 seconds or so.  That way, you could use that data in a dynamically updating graph for the core_freq and temp parts.

In other notes...  I noticed you are using Jquery mobile.  This is a very powerful framework to be using.  I have been experimenting with it over the past 6 months and found some very good sources for the presentation of information:

Search filter:  http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/lists/lists-search.html  -  This could be useful when searching many for different Nodes.

  Pop-ups:  http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/pages/popup/   - This could be good for displaying graphs and images.

  Dialog Boxes:  http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/pages/dialog/index.html  - Think of using this for error messages.  (have not tested).

  Graphs:  http://therockncoder.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/jquery-mobile-charts.html  - I have not done graphs before but this looks like a good start.

I hope my feed-back is useful and I also hope I can be an on-going contributer to this project.

EDIT:

One mroe thing.  Could you change the tittles in col. 1 to words that have a meaning to the user... for example:

cpu_serial:

could become:

CPU Serial No. :

That way it is a better user experience.

ok.  Added PiCam to your database.

Signing off for tonight!

Great feedback! Thanks. I will be including more graphs and interactive parts in the near future. Thanks for the links - very helpful.

I will be changing the cpu_serial ant other key names tonight!

Still looking for more beta-testes.

http://pimon.org - the installation / testing takes about 20 seconds

Hey,

The software only works if you have eth0 connected.  Could you please add support for wlan0 please.  I need to monitor my Pi Remotely (without cables).

Hello Marcel,

Nice of you to make this project.

I do have a question : how long are you going to keep your site up and running?

I just got a reminder from Amazon that my EC2 free tier was going to end so, I guess you have something similar?

Running servers taken time/effort/money so when the thrill of the project wears of, do you shut the server down and we lose our functionality?

Greetings,

Edwin van den Oetelaar

Apparently the project is 'community funded' and will 'always remain free' and running.

On another note:  I fixed the source code so that I can use the software on wireless.  This is done by replaying the one occurance of 'eth0' to 'wlan0' and then it works!

Might I make one other suggestion.  The Model A is not supported by the app either.

- add support / option for wireless

  - add support / recognition for Model A's and Rev 2
