If you have a picture, pdf, website or specs, we can add that as well.

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?

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).
