version 3
- write a php file that PUTS some light on on the AVR
- collect data from AVR and store it in mysql
- view the saved data on a client using javascript
code working on arduino
version 3 - onewire demo
On serial monitor running DS18x20_Temperature.ino ala the library here. Of note: How it polls each device: <syntaxhighlight>
if ( !ds.search(addr)) {//this is where it loops to the next address
Serial.println("No more addresses.");
Serial.println();
ds.reset_search();//if there are no more devices go back to start of list
delay(250);
return;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
version 2
- Online thermometer creating web page in which you call for the data by clicking a button. Uses design from Practical Arduino in /tim/Documents/electronics/arduino/thermometerthermometer.ino and it runs at http://10.0.1.79
version 1
- Take random readings from analog pins start an etehrnet client that sends them out to http://cosm.com (mcktimo 6j) every ten seconds :comtest.ino
final narrative
An Avr takes in temperature readings from multiple locations. At the control room the AVR hub polls temperature and for each zone knows the set temperature, the default temperature and whether or not a zone is ON and how long it has been on. If it doesn't hear from the (linux) scheduler then it falls back to act as a multi-zone thermostat set at the default temperatures. Through a rudimentary display it would allow you to set temperatures for each zone.
The scheduler would take temperature data from the AVR client and would know the schedule. Whenever a schedule change point would come up, it would notify the AVR and instruct it to change the set point. It would do this via chrontab maybe.
The controller would on the client probably an HTML5/javascript client. Here you can read the temperatures and view the schedule. You can override or change the schedule.
possible routes
A cheap circuit like http://www.craig.copperleife.com/tech/thermo/ or more complicated http://www.rentron.com/project01.htm using http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS1620.pdf which can be overridden by server program that controls multiple thermostats.
