Hello everybody, I want to make an application for a Raspberry pi running linux connected to a magnetic card reader and a touchscreen, the Raspberry Pi will be connected to the internet. When a user passes his card trough the reader the code in the card is sent to a remote server which finds information related to the user in a database (text and pictures) and then sends this information back to the Raspberry pi to be shown.
What are the best programming languages and libraries to develop this application in the Raspberry pi and in the server without using a web browser? Do you know of any open source software that do what I ask?

Does anyone know of an app that can remotely shut down a pc on a wireless network? I know u can do this via vnc but the remote pc will more than likely be running a tv tuner (kids pc btw) and that will just bog down the mda.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know of an app to just do remote shutdown, but you could probably use LogMeIn.com to do the same without the PPC screeching to a halt like with VNC.
How about installing the resource kit for windows xp and using the shutdown.exe app .
Then install cygwin for windows and follow the online instructions to setup OpenSSH as a service on your system.
Then you can use PocketPutty to open a SSH console to the pc and run shutdown.exe
Plus if you want to run comand console items from outside your network and know your ip address or dns hostname you can open your firewall for the ssh port you setup and do this truely remotely.

I was looking for the exact same thing you were. I used cygwin and openssh just like it was suggested above. However I created an additional user (shutdown) and a script, that whenever that user logs on via ssh, the machine shuts down.
HI,
I have a custom Eclair ROM on my HTC Hero and want to connect to a server hosted on my laptop using Bluetooth.
I can pair up with the computer without a problem. However, I cannot seem to connect to the server, eventhough I know the service's UUID and bluetooth address of the host device.
I'm using a simple RFCOMM server (in Java) similar to the one described in daniweb.com/forums/thread193742.html (put www infront of the link). The server works with another Java client deployed on a different machine; however I had to specify the server URI as follows (Im using bluecove lib for this):
btspp://0016FE9A71DF:1;authenticate=false;encrypt=false;master=false
I suspect that my Android bluetooth impl fails due to some kind of authentication problem. Is it possible to explicitly make sure you dont authenticate (I know its not safe) when attempting to communicate via Bluetooth in Android SDK?
My Android client code looks similar to (www) anddev.org/viewtopic.php?p=35487
Thanks for any help!
Hey, Im developing a web app with java servlets that can access an oracle database through the tomcat server. I am also developing an android app that I want to use to be able to display the information that is stored on this database.
I am just wondering how I do this or is it even possible with oracle & tomcat? If not what other databse/server should i use? The data will also have gps coordinates to display the items on a map.
Fairly new to this type of application
Thanks a mill
Hey everyone,
I recently created a tutorial upon request on how to configure the Raspberry Pi so that it can be used as a PPTP VPN Server that I thought the community may find useful. Additionally, the Tutorial also discusses how to setup and configure No-IP on the unit so that a URL can be used to access the device from a remote location instead of having to enter the external IP address (which may continuously change if your ISP happens to provide a Dynamic IP address rather than a Static one).
I hope the video tutorial is useful and makes sense. I tried to simplify the process as much as I can:
*The Timeline and additional information can be found in the description of the video*
Regards.
In this tutorial I will demonstrate how to use your Raspberry Pi as an OpenVPN server. OpenVPN is more secure than PPTP based VPN but, can be tricky to configure. I made this tutorial in hopes that it would make the process easier:
Why use a VPN?
VPN adds a security layer which is quite useful when you're browsing the internet from a public location. It encrypts all the data transmitted and received. Additionally, VPN also allows you to remotely access your home network from an external location!
I hope the tutorial is useful.
Regards.
You can also use OpenVPN two watch free TV program in other countries like China.
Nice tutorial! :laugh:
Good tutorial been wanting to look into this for my Pi but havent had the time!
How is the performance on the PI? (MB/s)?
