Raspberry Pi as VPN Server

Image
  Purpose The goal of this project is to build a VPN using a Raspberry Pi 3+ as the VPN server to securely and remotely establish a tunnel to access a device on the other network. Specifically to access Octopi (3d printer controller which can only be accessed locally) and control temperatures, move axes, and watch a live video feed of the nozzle or tool. Materials All materials were items I already owned or was given. I had purchased most of the following on amazon or ebay at some point in the years leading up to this. Links to parts I have purchased are below. ·        2x Raspberry Pi 3 (B +) ·        2x >= 8gb micro SD cards for raspberry pi ·        1m Endoscope camera ·        HDMI capable monitor ·        Ethernet Cable ·        USB A to USB mini (or compatible to printer...

Batch Mixing PLC System

Image
Purpose Due to a noticeable waste of product and a need to make the filling into a 1 operator job instead of 3, I pitched the idea to build a  Constraints Budget: $1000.00 Time Frame: 3 months Materials 2 large boxes C0-00DD1-D Koyo CLICK PLC C0-00AC Power Supply PSB24-060-P 24V Rhino Power supply 10 x 24V indicator lights Red, Green, Beep, light tower. 14 AWG THHN Stranded Wire White, blue stripe White Blue Red Black Green, yellow stripe Grounded conduit & connectors Terminal Blocks 2 x 80mm fans 2 x 24V thermostats 10 x DC/AC Relays Analysis Due to a very limited budget I had to make many sacrifices to keep cost low rather than industry standard. Additionally I had to take over the project from someone who already ordered some parts which came from the budget so I had to go with those parts as much as possible. Once the system was completed and debugged, the owner was very impressed at how well it performed and allocated more funds to be able to expand the system. The ne...
