Fish tank and Raspberry Pi

First of all, sorry if lately my posts are published less often than before, but I'm quite busy with several other things and my time for hobbies is quite limited...

Today I will show you a project made for request.

One friend have a small fish tank and he wished to make a really small system, just to check the temperature, pilot lights and few other things .

One Raspberry Pi model A+ was perfect to manage the fish tank with those features, so I decided to start this project and I finished it in few days.

Now this system has been named Aquarius and it's working as it was requested, with some small addition made by myself.

Webserver on Raspberry Pi

There could be tons of reasons to configure a webserver in your home. From a simple blog (personal, just like a diary, or public if you wish to share your thoughts with the web) to host for an home software repository, a web developing ambient and so on.

For an home automation system, a webserver is probably the easiest way to access your house when you are away.

A Raspberry Pi is a quite useful piece of hardware if you need a small webserver. It shouldn't be used for big systems, where hundreds of people needs to connect at the same time and a lot of data is transferred through the network, but for small tasks is perfect!

Now with Raspberry Pi 2, things are getting even better as this new version is much more powerful than the original one.
