We will also cover how XBee can be used to link sensors to the RPi. Next, we go through linking the Arduino to the RPi. In reminiscence, a newer offering of the RPi has just been made available to the public. I may do a brief overview of the new features,…

Then we will go through the procedures to gather data from the internet and process it into Cacti. This is an expansion of the NOAA XML file processing done in an earlier post. Purpose – having a reference can give you an idea of were you’re going Cacti is a multi…
