Arduino Network/Web Interface?

[JuliaL]

Hi All,

I'm a Rails programmer just starting out with Arduino, and I was wondering, how can I control my Arduino devices from another computer? If I'm using RAD, can I use the computer that my Arduino is plugged up to as a webserver, and have a rails app running on it that controls my Arduino, and that way other computers could send commands to the Arduino over the web? What if I want to have my Arduino on a different computer than my web server? How would I address it over the network? Anyone have any code samples on this? 

It would be really sweet if I could have a web interface to control all of my arduino devices from anywhere.

The web interface shown on the screen is actually a rails frontend.

I'm packing a binary protocol and pushing to the normal arduino running some simple code.

Yeah its actually not too difficult.

you could checkout a network shield, http://www.adafruit.com/category/17_21

Cool, thanks for the suggestions guys! 

I've got my arduino talking to rails over my local network using the "rad" rubygem, now to try out the internets. 

I'll give the network shield a shot and post back if I find any useful tips.
