Ok, a few more details... The device I'm interested sends data to the serial port every 6 seconds, I've already got a perl script that puts this into a DB, but would be great to get it into OWFS.
Currently it logs two parameters, temp and current. Any perl guru's able to point me in the right direction ? Or python for that matter ;) Cheers Stuart On Wed, 2008-11-19 at 12:45 +0000, Stuart Poulton wrote: > > Hi Paul, > > Data arrives from a serial device every x seconds, I've got the perl to > do this already. > > We can of course within the perl allocate an unique ID.
