Using web page to access BS2 data.

boonboy

Hi guys since I last posted, I have managed to port my ds1620 temperature logger over to debian and use the tokenizer to download my program onto the chip. This works fine.

I have also installed apache2 and designed a rather basic web page. My main problem however is what dynamic language should I use to access the temperature logger over the web page.

Also does anybody have any links to examples of this dynamic language accessing physical ports.

The port I am using is /dev/ttyUSB0, since I'm using a usb-serial adaptor.

Any advice, links or physical code would be more than welcome.

p.s The code would obviously have to be able to be embedded within the html of my rather naff web page.

Thanks.

My favorite language for things like this is Perl. It will feel right at home on your Linux/Unix system and work seamlessly with Apache. Here are some resources to get you started:

··www.perl.org
··www.cpan.org
··www.perlmonks.org
··O'Reilly Perl books

In order to give it equal time, I should mention that there are others who prefer Python:

··www.python.org
··O'Reilly Python books

I just ran across this last night (ignore the heathen microcontroller) hardware.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/02/02/1647248 and another by Rob is hardware.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/05/11/1517222&tid=123&tid=55&tid=48
If you're in to LINUX he has some good articles.
