Some rando's options. The library hash gets passed through Chartkick to chart.js. For some reason axes need to be labelled xAxes (can be(?) an array for multiple x axes) rather than just x as in the chart.js docs. def model_helper(data) line_chart( data, title: 'Chart title', ## Axes min: 10, # default 0 if no non-zero points max: 100, xtitle: 'Time', ytitle: 'Lolz', ## CSS id: 'lolchart', ## Appearance height: '500px', colors: COLO…

Cannot load X 1.16.4 after installing GTX 950 on Debian Jessy I have just replaced a GT 710 with a GTX 950. I had previously been using the nVidia driver downloaded via apt (following ). It worked fine. After physically switching the cards, I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and regenerated it with nvidia-xconfig.

Raspberry Pi notes Setting up GPIO From memory, the ruby libraries are junkily slow. Python might work better. You may need to apt install rpi.gpio although this seems to be installed by default; this command just adds python packages. Then a command line utility is needed to wrap these calls, even from zsh:
