With the locking pin facing up on the PCIe connector all three pins are negative the two bottom pins are 12volts on each corner.

1. Installing and Using the Wiring Pi Library     
  At raspberry prompt type:        git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
if you need git type:   apt-get install git-core
Then cd ~/wiringPi   and ./build
To check if installed type: gpio -v then gpio readall
Install Apache and PHP on the Pi with    apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5
You might have to chmod -R 777 /var/www/html  to copy over the files  copy all the file in the Raspberry_web_Switch_control.zip to the web server folder /var/www/html
navigate to using a webrowser to the pi ip address and see if working.

in the index.php  change the  $i= 0; $i<1  1 =One Button on the screen or whatever number you want up to 8

button 0= Gpio pin 11

For software, the manual recommends using Cura or Repetier. I like Cura so used that to prepare my files for printing. It should also work with Simplify 3D if you manually create a profile. I figure someone will ask for my Cura settings so here they are:

<server> = a domain controller in the joined domain

<user> = DOMAIN\User format with rights to change the computer password

/pd: password you want to use.

Example:   netdom resetpwd  /s:Quartz /ud: administrator /pd: blusky123!

Step 1: Getting in
If you know the local admin password - great! just click Switch User and log in as .\administrator and your password ".\" replaces the computer name in case you dont know it.Unplug the network cable, disable wireless, then reboot the system. After reboot log in with you domain credentials and you should be able to get back in.

Step 2: Reestablishing Trust

Open PowerShell as administrator. Run this command sequence:
$credential = Get-Credential – (enter domain admin account when prompted)

How to Convert a Bootable USB to an .iso File

Published 2015-02-03

Thanks to: https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/15567-convert-bootable-usb-to-iso/

Download and install ImgBurn. It's a free application, but be careful during installation that you don't install the 3rd party crap with it. Make sure you select "Custom" during each screen and deselect the crapware that tries to sneak in.

Plug the bootable stick into your machine.

Open the ImgBurn application.

Now click on the "Create image file from files / folders"


ImgBurn Main Screen

Next to the Sources pane, click on the Browse Folder button.

Browse Folder Button

Select the folder or drive you want to convert. In this instance I'm just imaging the D: drive.

Selecting D: Drive

Next, click on the Browse Folder button next to the Destination part.

Browse Folder Buttton

Select a location to store the .iso file, and the name for it. In this instance I'm saving it to C:\Temp\New Folder and naming it Image.

Setting Destination File

Click the Advanced tab, and then the Bootable Disc tab.


Check the Make Image Bootable checkbox, and click the Browse button next to Boot Image.


Browse to the Boot folder, and open the etfsboot.com file.


Set the Developer ID to Microsoft Corporation and the Sectors To Load to 8. Leave 07C0 in the Load Segment part.


Now click the big Build button on the bottom-left.


Because we didn't give the image a title, we get this error. Just click Yes to accept the default, or provide a name you desire.


And you'll receive a confirmation about what will happen next. Click OK. In my case, I actually had to go back to the advanced tab as well to permit making an image that exceeds the ISO standard size (Mine's over 10GB).


And then patiently wait...


And that's it! Enjoy your newly created .iso file.

Put the cmd in the " /etc/rc.local "
for python use & just in case of a loop.  example:  sudo python /directory/to/use/File.py

Reprogram Sonoff Smart Switch with Web Server
25 Shares
In this post, you're going to learn how to flash custom firmware in the Sonoff device, so that you can control it with your own web server. I recommend that you read my previous post to get familiar with the Sonoff.

If you don't have a Sonoff yet, you can get one for $5 on eBay: http://ebay.to/2eNzHf2.

First, watch the step by step video tutorial below


Safety warning
Make sure you disconnect your Sonoff from mains voltage. Then, open the box enclosure.

Sonoff pinout

The Sonoff is meant to be hacked, and you can see clearly that these connections were left out, so that you can solder some pins and upload a custom firmware. That's the pinout.
   


I've soldered 4 header pins, so that I can easily connect and disconnect wire cables to my Sonoff device.



Preparing your 3.3V FTDI module
You need an FTDI module to upload a new firmware to your Sonoff. Use the schematics provided as a reference.



DOWNLOAD FREE PDF: Getting Started with ESPlorer IDE and ESP8266
Warning: uploading a custom firmware is irreversible and you'll no longer be able to use the app eWeLink.

I've added a toggle switch in the power line, so that I can easily turn the Sonoff on and off to flash a new firmware without having to unplug the FTDI module.

I used hot glue to glue the ends of the wires together. This prevents you to make wrong connections between the FTDI and the Sonoff in the future.



Boot your Sonoff in Flashing Mode
To flash a new firmware to your Sonoff, you have to boot your Sonoff in flashing mode. Follow this 4 step process:

1) Connect your 3.3V FTDI programmer to your computer

2) Hold down the Sonoff button



3) Toggle the switch to apply power to the Sonoff circuit



4) Then, you can release the Sonoff button

Now, your Sonoff should be in flashing mode and you can upload a new firmware.

Opening the Arduino IDE
You should have the ESP8266 add-on installed in the Arduino IDE – If you don't have the add-on installed, first follow this tutorial on How to Install the ESP8266 Board in Arduino IDE.

You can upload the full sketch to your Sonoff (replace with your SSID and password):

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>

MDNSResponder mdns;

// Replace with your network credentials
const char* ssid = "YOUR_SSID";
const char* password = "YOUR_PASSWORD";

ESP8266WebServer server(80);

String webPage = "";

int gpio13Led = 13;
int gpio12Relay = 12;

void setup(void){
  webPage += "<h1>SONOFF Web Server</h1><p><a href=\"on\"><button>ON</button></a>&nbsp;<a href=\"off\"><button>OFF</button></a></p>"; 
  // preparing GPIOs
  pinMode(gpio13Led, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(gpio13Led, HIGH);
 
  pinMode(gpio12Relay, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(gpio12Relay, HIGH);

  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(5000);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  Serial.println("");

  // Wait for connection
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.print("Connected to ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  Serial.print("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
 
  if (mdns.begin("esp8266", WiFi.localIP())) {
    Serial.println("MDNS responder started");
  }
 
  server.on("/", [](){
    server.send(200, "text/html", webPage);
  });
  server.on("/on", [](){
    server.send(200, "text/html", webPage);
    digitalWrite(gpio13Led, LOW);
    digitalWrite(gpio12Relay, HIGH);
    delay(1000);
  });
  server.on("/off", [](){
    server.send(200, "text/html", webPage);
    digitalWrite(gpio13Led, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(gpio12Relay, LOW);
    delay(1000);
  });
  server.begin();
  Serial.println("HTTP server started");
}

void loop(void){
  server.handleClient();
}



Preparing your Arduino IDE
Having your Sonoff device still in flashing mode.

1. Select your FTDI port number under the Tools> Port > COM14 (in my case)
2. Choose your ESP8266 board from Tools> Board > Generic ESP8266 Module
3. Press the Upload button


Wait a few seconds while the code is uploading. You should see a message saying "Done Uploading".

Troubleshooting
If you try to upload the sketch and it prompts the following error message:

warning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed
Your Sonoff is not in flashing mode and you have to repeat the process described in section "Boot your Sonoff in flashing mode" described earlier in this guide.

Final circuit
After uploading the code, re-assemble your Sonoff. Be very careful with the mains voltage connections.

It's the exact same procedure as shown in the introductory guide.



ESP8266 IP Address
Open the Arduino serial monitor at a baud rate of 115200. Connect GPIO 0 of your ESP8266 to VCC and reset your board.

After a few seconds your IP address should appear. In my case it's 192.168.1.70.


Demonstration
For the final demonstration open any browser from a device that is connected to the same router that your Sonoff is. Then type the IP address and click Enter!



Now when you press the buttons in your web server you can control the Sonoff switch and any device that is connected to it.
