I've stolen the slide/ picture about the network structure for my blog
(imitation is the best form of flattery). I've also soldered in one of
my panStamps into my BeagleBone, ready for the next project... I'm
almost at the end of my eBook software contract.
Apart from using the panStamps for the dust, temperature and wind
monitoring, I was thinking of using them (along with RFBees) in a
smart outlet kind of situation. Cutedigi sells a shield for Arduino
that switches a load (uses a triac, I believe) and has an LCD, along
with current monitoring.
I saw a mention of a "MAX" product - is it related to your earlier
home automation work, and can you elaborate on it at some point?
My next contract deals with home automation, and I've decided to use
panStamps and PLC as a mutual backup system. Of course, I'll be using
other open source boards, namely a few different Arduinos, Draginos/
Dragoves, and BeagleBones/ RaspberryPis.
Over the Easter weekend, not having access to a Windows computer for
this eBook software I'm writing, I decided to write some Arduino code
for the power metering - making good headway with it too...!
My best wishes to you all, and have a happy and safe Easter =)
You have some interesting projects in mind. I'll be happy to hear about them.
Regarding Lagarto-MAX, it's a Lagarto client and, as such, is able to
consume data coming from other Lagarto servers. Lagarto-MAX basically
provides an event manager, scripting support and a web front-end for
programming basic trigger-condition-action events.. We'll then be able
to program actions based on time scheduling or endpoint values. This
is essential for automation projects but also for other stuff like
weather monitoring or smart metering since MAX will support uploading
data to different cloud data services out of the box.
Take care guys!!
