Using the example GPS code that Nelson Neves posted on here, I threw
together some code that creates a HTTP server in the background from
which you can pull either specific variables or a string of data from
the device via a GET request.
I've tested it on my board and it works great and with very little CPU
usage. I will be doing a bit more work on it as I would like to it be
capable of changing the device and listening port at runtime rather
than compile-time, and I also want to investigate getting it to push
messages itself via GET requests (though that will probably be a spin-
off).
I am quite tempted to see if I can fit one of my bifferboards into the
casing (as there seems to be a fair amount of room), so that an extra
ethernet connector can be fitted to it (or a wireless dongle) and have
it all self-contained :-)
The code is at http://www.linux-depot.com/?p=projects&s=currentcost
If anyone uses it let me know how you get on :-)

I still need to work on your original GPS code as it doesn't work with
my device. I have a SirfStar USB dongle which is meant to default to
NMEA but seems to default to the binary format :-(

Now that I have a bifferboard fitted to a hub, the plan is to make it
a mini server where my power readings are captured along with my 1-
wire data (again via rs232). The data is then pushed to my bigger
server which runs it through a broker and pushes it to different
sources etc. I still plan to edit the C code and make a formatted
output for people who just want to look at it directly (think iPhone
etc), but I still want to keep it nice and small.
I'm still pretty sure that a bifferboard could fit inside a
currentcost, just the 3v power supply that is troubling me. I guess I
would have to switch to a 5v psu and drop the voltage down for the CC.
That way they could both be powered from the same supply.

--Hi,I was searching for a web display for a CurrentCost device and Google thew up a good post for this on 'LifeOfStu.com' using a BifferboardIt looks a great piece of coding but unfortunately the download link to Linux Depot no longer works.A further search for CurrentCost and Bifferboard led me here and I'm hoping you may be the same Stu..?If that's the case do you still have that code and is there somewhere I can download it?ThanksMKS
