Once the power situation improved, I ignored the Powerbot.

Which uses a LDR to read the LED light which is powered by direct power supply.I had assembled a small Electronic board,.Back up power supply line to run the Raspberry Pi without power interruption.Used direct power supply line to read the status.To be fair, Powerbot requires a long detailed blog post.

Primary goal of Powerbot project is to record power cuts, analyse it and publish it online. I used Python and Twython to turn the Raspberry Pi into a Tweetbot. I had connected Raspberry Pi power supply to an UPS which was connected to an inverter, to run without any power interruption.

In addition to that, a HDMI monitor and a HDMI cable was required to boot it up first time and to set up ssh server. In Cost Analysis section below, I had listed all components used to set up the Raspberry Pi. This post is primarily on various usage of Raspberry Pi after buying it. I decided to use Raspberry Pi for this and so began my journey with Raspberry Pi. So, I needed a mechanism to systematically record the power ON/OFF data, so that it can be analysed. Worse, I couldn't figure out if the situation is improving or not. I read about Raspberry Pi first in early Q4, 2012.Īt that time, I didn't find a real need to use it.įew weeks later I was totally fed up with the power cuts in my hometown.
