Hi,

Has anyone in the group tried out the site player from Net Media?
www.siteplayer.com <http://www.siteplayer.com/> It looks pretty cool,
just thought I'd ask before shelling out the money for a developer kit.

Thanks,

Rich

    I've got one, and like it a lot.
    I am in the process of figuring out how to have another MCU control a
    digital camera, to take snapshots, and then convert the raw image data into
    a gif, jpg, or something , in order to send to the siteplayer web site. All
    this without using a PC, windows, linux, or RTOS, or PC104 based SBC.

    Basically, you can put up a website, and via the website, have the
    siteplayer control things remotely. For example, at a Hotel you could
    monitor all the icemaking machines on all the floors. It's main purpose was
    to provide a webserver where you could remote control things.
    This particular model is limited on the amount of storage memory for the web
    site, so you need to keep it simple. But if you have use for something like
    that, it beats the heck out of a PC being used for that purpose. It's a lot
    easier to put in batterybackup, 4 AA nicad batteries should run it for quite
    a while.

    regards,
    Earl

    The Siteplayer is a seperate product line from the BasicX. They have
    their own Yahoo Group.

    I take it this means you are not a fan of siteplayer? I have never used
    either siteplayer or basicx I just saw their ad and wondered if anyone
    in this group had used them and could offer an opinion.

    if Net Media give the same quality support for the Site Player that they
    give for the Basicx-24 then you better get on the right lists to get
    help from current users because you won't get help from Net Media I once
    owned a BX24 and won't buy from them again.

    I can testify that the BX-24 is a UNMATURE, UNRELIABLE product far
    too complicated for what (simple things) it does.

    I just got a BasicX-24. I found that it is a microcontroller for higher end
    uses. it is much more complicated and has alot of features on it like 8
    Analog-to-digital and Digital-to-analog ports on it and runs much faster
    that the basicstamp. it is not for beginners. I would put it up with the
    oopic chip.

    just my $.02

    I agree. The BX24 is an ill-conceived product with poor
    documentation. If you plan to use it, make sure you know
    its limitations first hand or you're in for a long,
    time-wasting experience. Their support by direct email is
    bad to non-existent. They never answered my direct emails
    at all.
