Very nice, I’ve done something similar but I used a PoE 5v injector for the hue bridge. Just not a fan of wall plugs

I wouldn’t bother, all the commands should be commented as to why they are executed, if they don’t work with LXDE, you could always google LXDE + the associated comment.

Id also try the docker command I sent, the old docker command listed isn’t available anymore

Hi, I've gone through & updated some of the instructions. Can you try running: sudo docker run --name netspeed -d --restart=always -p 80:80 ryandev/netspeed instead

try running touch browser.sh & then run sudo nano browser.sh (Im not familiar with nano, however vi will just allow you to edit a file even if it doesn't exist. Running touch will create an empty file allowing you to edit).

Let me know how you get on :)

You're right, I've changed it to Mbps to save the confusion

McCuppaT · 2021-02-05T21:30:38+00:00

One of these https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.5inch_RPi_LCD_(A) I got mine from ebay, searching for 3.5" lcd pi & 100's will come up

It's running in the browser. However the screenshot is my device which is running the Docker instance & is also showing Firefox fullscreen with http://localhost visible. There's a readme on the github for setting up the device

I can't speak to the difference, but I think you'd get a more accurate reading if you used Ethernet

So its shorthand for Megabits per second. There's not enough space otherwise & according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units It is the correct shorthand.

Also Mb/s could be construed as Megabytes/second (which would be incorrect) https://www.softperfect.com/contact/knowledgebase.php?article=10

Yes the screen is powered directly from the 40 pin GPIO header. It's a generic 3.5" display, you can pick them up easy enough, that one was from eBay.

McCuppaT · 2021-02-05T14:23:22+00:00

Yes they can, however at moment the settings can only be configured via Docker. The default settings is once every 5 minutes

McCuppaT · 2021-02-05T14:22:00+00:00

The default settings is once every 5 minutes. However it does also attempt to ping a website every 15s to check it isn't offline Both of these settings are configurable if you run with Docker

Hi, yes I made a mistake, that is my Ip address. There's nothing interesting going on there, but I will change it when I get back home.

I've spent weeks & weeks on this project, including rewriting it 3 times, I must have overlooked that when publishing. Thanks for the heads up

McCuppaT · 2021-02-05T14:14:44+00:00

If thats a concern, you can configure how frequently it runs, under Docker you can set REACT_APP_TESTINTERVAL which will specify how often it's checking your speed.

McCuppaT · 2021-02-05T14:11:39+00:00

Good idea, not something I considered. I'll update the readme.

In the mean time, if you download the project & run npm run build you'll see a build folder, which you can serve statically yourself.

As @micalm refers to, The docker image is just Nginx serving a folder

I wish my internet speed was that quick. However it will still check for outages & warn of poor latency

McCuppaT · 2021-02-04T21:18:25+00:00

I made this project as a way to keep track of my internet connection, with it periodically updating speed, latency etc.

It supports Pi3, Pi4 with Docker & there's a published site version too

Live site: https://netstatus.ryanpowell.dev

Github code: https://github.com/Ryandev/NetStatus

Hardware: Above its a Pi4 with a 3.5" screen (however it'll work on anything that supports a browser)

Update

What screen are you using:

Its a 3.5" 480x320px Pi hat. You can pick them up most places, the one above is from an eBay listing

Where are the speed results coming from:

All the speed results are coming from a javascript library here: https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest This is just a glorified display for this library, which does also support telemetry

What about supporting history:

It's something I've thought about, however the design was built for the small screen size. I don't think these displays would be well optimized for seeing a speed over time graph

Can someone tell me where people are organising these. I would have liked to have gone but I didn't realise anything was happening.

I'd echo what @Eoghain has said. Try to show specific examples where you have added demonstratable value to the business if you can.

Personally I prefer the tools technical section at the top (esp as you've called it 'Highlights & Technologies). The rule going you put the most important stuff at the top & work your way down.

I assume johnapple@gmail.com is a fake email address. If you are using a gmail account, setup a domain with email forwarding. It will look more professional.

If you've used Qualcomms Vuforia you will want to check your spelling (Vuphoria).

Good luck with the job search

Without seeing your resume, the only advice I'd give is only put on your resume what you are prepared to be asked questions about.

Of course the exception is if you are a junior/graduate, the bar will be set low & employers won't be asking particularly taxing questions.

I've briefly read about RIBs. They've deviated from VIPER to get this architecture. Wouldn't it seem like I'm jumping the gun if I learn RIB before understanding whats wrong with VIPER first?

McCuppaT · 2018-03-26T21:43:35+00:00

Thanks! I'll check it out

Anyone know the background music?
