Raspberry PI Captive access point
Cameron performed his talk on setting up a Raspberry PI a festival for mapping and information.
What I'd really like for next year's mark 3 version (I may need some help to do this, not sure):
- Proper tile rendering using mapnik - so I can upload some changes to the raspberry pi's hosted GIS database and the appropriate changes will be rendered on the pi. - And support for pre-rendering a whole bunch of files on my desktop computer beforehand.
- A weather forecast page that can scrape http://openweathermap.org/API before being deployed somewhere offline for a week. - Openweathermap supports giving you a weather forecast given some coordinates in xml / json, both formats I know little about how to parse.
- Some way to grab a feed from http://emergency.vic.gov.au/ and render it as a layer on my leaflet based map (with something to specify to the user when that data was last updated).
- Implement a tilt servo mechanism so the camera can be remotely adjusted up and down.
- Mesh networking support would also be nice, and some way of syncing forum posts and GIS data across similarly equipped raspberry pis.
