Uh. I can’t seem to post a link here in the forums becuase it tells me that I have not made 1 legitimate post but I have made a post earlier and I guess nobody thinks it was legitimate, wich is a little discouraging since I’ve purchased products from lynxmotion about 8 times now.
anyway
So I guess i’ll just post what I did for a weekend project using phidgets.
A client service installed on my local PC uploads and stores my IP address to a SQL server on da’ net. If the client service notices it’s IP has changed, It updates the database.
A socket server app controlling phidgets and accepting TCP connections. Once a connection is created, I parse the message and turn on my lamp via a relay switch.
A client on running here on this web page. The client querys the database for my IP address first, and then creates a connection to my desktop.
The client here on this web page then sends a command to my socket server on my desktop that turns on my lamp.
Sometimes the system gets a bit confused if it’s been a while since you last posted. You ought to be able to post links now. If you have trouble with it again, you can send me a PM and I’ll take care of it.
