Checking it in directly would probably be easiest; my SourceForge username is jacobdp. I'll let you know when I have more information written up. How about "--etherweather" for the command line option? :-) > Tell us more about your device. Is it microprocessor-based? Is it > commercially available or is the design open?

It started out as a school-related project, then grew into a hobby/for-fun thing, and now I'm polishing it off to be able to sell. The main components are an AVR microcontroller and Ethernet chip; I wrote all the interface and application code (using the uIP TCP/IP stack). I'm planning to keep the firmware closed, but the communication protocols and support code will all be open. The system listens on a TCP socket and acts as a low-level bus master (reset/bit/byte, strong pullup, and search acceleration), so it should be able to talk to any device supported by the code talking to it. Besides waiting for connections from PC-side software such as OWFS, it can also periodically connect to a remote system over the Internet to receive commands, and I've written some code to handle that as well. At the moment, I've built a few prototypes and am waiting for the next round of components and boards to come in. The majority of the software (firmware w/DHCP, bootloader, OWFS patch, and service daemon/Web interface) is working, although not polished off yet. The board is 2" x 3", runs off of 7-9v DC, and should cost around $50 (assembled/programmed, but without case and power supply). - Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
