I did look at Pyserial, but then I realized that with IronPython I
could just use System.IO.Ports.SerialPort to do it all anyway... then
it seemed pointless to use PySerial if the capability is already
available in IronPython. It works fine on Mono too, and I have run
successful tests in Linux Juanty (which my PlugPC runs). The problem
I have now is not talking to the serial port per se... it is doing it
from within a web browser, which as I understand it is a security
issue. The browser security policy just won't give me access to the
serial port whatever library I might be using. The link I posted
earlier shows how to overcome the security restrictions in C# - I
just don't know how to translate this into an IronPython class :-(
Bye for now, Kurt
BTW Your project sounds pretty cool - not wishing to clutter this
thread, but how reliable are you finding the X10. I have a TED5000
which just monitors my total load, and it sux - this is why I chose
wireless ZigBees when putting together my Smart Home Network.
Ta ta for now, Kurt
Well I'm a complete berk - I was attempting to access the server's
serial port via a browser on the same server - so no real security issue
at all... but having another window open with an open serial connection
is certainly a problem!??!!??! Explains why I kept getting Access
Denied - some of these error messages really could be more helpful :-)
As soon as I closed the other connection, I could connect from my
browser fine and successfully turned a fan off in my office from my
iPhone today with no trouble.
Thanks for the tips...
Bye for now, Kurt
