I don't know what a MacAir is, I've pretty much managed to avoid the
iWorld. I can tell you about the Raspberry Pi [and others] however.
Raspberry Pi [and Beagle Bone, and several others] are tiny little
processor boards with weird names that run some flavor of LINUX, and
thus will run LINUX-based applications, a great number of which speak
Internet/Web. You can do a great deal with them because of that.
I built a 40-station irrigation controller for my wife using the
Hamstack components [hamstack.com] based on a Microchip PIC. Aside from
using their and Microchip C libraries, I had to write all the functional
code in the PIC myself.
The Hamstack guys [who I know quite well] have now added Beagle Bone and
maybe Raspberry Pi to their line, which allows you to capitalize on
already created applications and modules.
Hope this helps. I wouldn't be holding my breath for royalties,
however. :-))

Right. For an EE or computer expert, maybe; but not for a Liberal Arts
sort of guy. Even my Internet research about "Raspberry Pi" was
entertaining but incomprehensible. But that aside, does anyone know of a
way to feed the P3 output into a server sort of thing and have it come out
as something that will fool the MacAir into thinking it's a web site,
hence toggleable vis-a-vis the resident logging program?
