I'm not new but I havent been on this site in ages.

I'm not quite sure where to post this but I'll just post this here?

To be frank- I work full time in another industry but picked up a hobby of programming due to my passion for building PC's and overclocking the hell out of my cpu's. I've been programming for about a year now on the side, and finally feel comfortable on the backend using a raspberry pi/adrudino. I was just curious if there was anything you guys would like as an app to assist in you in overclocking.. I'm no expert in programming and overclocking.. but I feel like doing this as a side project would further my knowledge on overclocking. I was thinking about using temp sensors in diff areas of the case to measure delta temps and output it to a lcd screen via 5.25 bay? For the back-end- I'll be using linux/node.. Front-end- I'll be using react for web/ react-native for android. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

(Mods feel free to move this the appropriate thread

OT to the post but are you a graduate of UCSB?? I'm class of 1970. Took my 1st CS course there; FORTRAN programming on the IBM mainframe.

Just work on things, 1 step at a time. You want to have an LCD Display of your computer temps... Cool... Once you get that done, add some knobs to controll the fan speeds and display the RPMs. Then perhaps create an app for your phone that can connect to that device and display the values there. Just keep building on top of whatever your working on, thats what I always do. Sometimes you start over because you coded yourself into a corner, and you try again, learning from your mistakes.

Make tools that would help you with what you want to do. Think about each step and what would be cool to have. One thing that i did for fun, was to configure an Arduino Trinket to enter a a 32 or so character password on the machines i was connecting to these secure wifi radios. I configured it so that if i held the button for 1 second, it would type in the wifi network name. If i held it for 5 seconds, it would type in the password. You could take that same logic and have it configure bios settings by passing in the keyboard commands to cycle trough the options.
