That is so awesome! On Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 8:34 PM, Nathan Kennedy <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks for the comments, James. The setup has been an ongoing living project since June ’08, I would never consider it to be complete . Initially it was driven by the parallel port of the webserver, but I recently switched it to an Arduino – there is something nice about having it standalone. Almost finished developing an API for it, so that the GUI front end is purely that, a front end. Then I can make other stuff interact with it without duplicating code, etc. Also want to make it post daily stats to a Twitter feed. Why? Cos I’m a geek, and I can J Just need to make the site prettier. I’m a coder, not a designer J Thanks, Nathan.

I’m a big fan of the Arduino, but unfortunately(?) I’m not based in Auckland. At the risk of self promotion, the control side of my telerobotics site is driven by an Arduino with an Ethernet shield. Heaps of fun to learn and play around with. Telerobotics project: http://control.kennedytechnology.com Wow - that's seriously impressive! I'm sure many an hour could be wasted playing with those toys :) How long did it take you to build that setup? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
