===Nanode Applications=== | |||
Nanode is an Arduino like 8 bit microcontroller board with integrated ethernet connectivity. | |||
It has 6 analogue sensing channels and 6 spare digital I/O lines. | |||
It can be used for a variety of web connected applications including remote control and monitoring, as a smart sensor, home automation, as a Tweeting device, and for publishing small ammounts of data to the web. | |||
The existing software allows it to be set up as an I/O webserver - a device which send the state of its analogue and digital I/O to a web page - and which can be controlled from that webpage. | |||
However it is not restricted to just that role, it can act as a publisher device and send data to an open data service such as Pachube, and it can act as a web connected I/O device, which subscribes to a Pachube data feed and acts according to the data received from that feed - for example setting its I/O, updating a display or controlling some actuator device. | |||
By using Pachube's API as a smart intermediary, much of the burden of serving an interractive webpage is eliminated from the Nanode. | |||
A final application, uses an interpreted language called [http://bitlash.net/wiki/start Bitlash] which allows scripts to be written and stored in EEprom on the microcontroller or on an external SD card. We are developing a Telnet aopplication which would allow a Nanode running bitlash to be remotely reconfigured to run a different script. | |||
