Azure API App – FTP Connector – How to solve “227 Entering passive mode error”

I really like the Azure Logic Apps. It reminds me of the good old days of workflows in WF except that this meant for simple workflow logic, but it does the trick. I particularly like the FTP Connector and the Azure BLOB connector. Due to the trigger function not yet implemented in the Azure BLOB… Continue reading Azure API App – FTP Connector – How to solve “227 Entering passive mode error”

Potential solution to HTTP 500 Error with your WordPress site on Azure Websites

It’s been awhile since I blogged, and the embarrassing part about this is because my blog has been down and I haven’t really got the time to really troubleshoot. I did what anyone would do, searched online which pointed me to a few posts on MSDN and Stackoverflow but nothing really did it for me.… Continue reading Potential solution to HTTP 500 Error with your WordPress site on Azure Websites

Using Azure Stream Analytics to tap into an Event Hub data stream

The pre-requisite is to make sure that you have requested for Stream Analytics preview if you have not already done so. 1. Create a Stream Analytics job. Jobs can only be created in 2 regions while the service is under preview. 2. Add an input to your job., This is the best part because we… Continue reading Using Azure Stream Analytics to tap into an Event Hub data stream

How to send sensor data from Raspberry Pi to Azure Event Hub using a Python script

This post follows what I intended to do which is to pump sensor data consisting of temperature and altitude readings from the Xtrinsic sensor board to my Azure Event Hub named getfityall. The sensor board comes with some Python scripts already as you have seen in my earlier posts. Coupled with Microsoft Azure Python packages from the SDK,… Continue reading How to send sensor data from Raspberry Pi to Azure Event Hub using a Python script

Fresh raspberry pi at my service

I am super glad that the items I ordered from Element14 arrived overnight. I got not one but 3 MEMS Sensor board, and it is working well. Proof that I somewhat “overused” the previous board so much so that the temperature and altitude reading stopped working. pi@raspberryclay ~/rpi_sensor_board $ sudo python mpl3115a2.py MPL3115: Alt. 100.24 Temp:… Continue reading Fresh raspberry pi at my service

Intelligent Systems (at your) Service

I was really excited that my application for the Microsoft Azure Intelligent Systems Service (ISS) Limited Public Preview (LPP) had been approved (my apologies for all the 3-letter acronyms which I will be repeating all over my posts from now on). What the ISS LPP entitles me are the following: Access to the ISS service which… Continue reading Intelligent Systems (at your) Service

PowerQuery invokes a GetFitYall API endpoint, and fun with PowerMap

Is that even possible? Yes and I’m talking about invoking that from within the PowerQuery add-in in Excel 2013, and then mucking around with the data which is represented in JSON. Pretty awesome I would think. To the layman, don’t worry about what’s this JSON thing, it’s all transparent to you, just consume the date. In my… Continue reading PowerQuery invokes a GetFitYall API endpoint, and fun with PowerMap

GetFitYall REST API

This API exposes a singular function at the moment which is to do the following: Mashup on demand – Let client apps consume a mash up of fitness activity data points from different target APIs based upon user ID and time period for a specific date. Note: User ID is not implemented right now because my… Continue reading GetFitYall REST API

IoT Descriptive Analysis using PowerBI

Now comes the interesting part which is self-analytics of all the data that I have collected from “the Internet of My Things” (IoMT). As a recap I am currently ingesting activity data points from 2 devices, a Fitbit One and a Samsung S4 running 2 “sensor apps”; Strava and MapMyWalk. But it shouldn’t be limited… Continue reading IoT Descriptive Analysis using PowerBI
