I just got my first board from Hobby-Boards.com; it's a
temperature/humidity/solar, and the only thing on the bus until the next
shipment arrives. :)
I have a TOTALLY TRIVIAL bash script running it, and it's marvelous.
I really appreciate your work in this area. When it comes to this kind
of engineering, my eyes are bigger than my talent (or budget) and you're
helping to make this happen for me.
Most of the things I poll will be in the 'per minute' range, though;
too fast for cron. And I think I've worked out a way for some small
processes to work metaphorically like OWFS, storing values in a
directory tree, for other processes to share when needed.
What I'd like to find is something that the system clock and kick
off every second, whether polling happens then, or not. I've never used
interrupt-driven Unix programming, and my C experience was in 1989. Do
you have any resources you point to folks like me, with this situation?
Thanks!
