Microcontroller Networking

Post by suniljha »

Hi!
I am new to networking through microcontroller. I have microcontroller interfaced with small ethernet board (from [url=http://www.embeddedethernet.com).]www.embeddedethernet.com).[/url] I want my microcontroller board to collect some data from attached devices like temp. sensor and then send to a server (a PC) to be visible in the form of graph on a web. Regarding hardware, things are clear to me but I need your help in understanding software implementation on microcontroller and PC server side. I want to append periodic data to a file on PC server and then use some javascript to display in the form of graph on the web. How can this be possible?? any idea!<p>Looking for urgent help..
regards,
Sunil Jha

I'm not familiar with that particular board. However, what you want to do is possible (my book, Embedded Internet Design from McGraw Hill) shows several similar examples based around a TINI and a Javelin Stamp from Parallax.<p>Java is the easiest way (in my mind) to write network code for the PC. If you can find a copy, check out Java 2 Network Protocols Black Book (from Paraglyph). There are several base classes for servers there that you could simply extend to suit your needs.<p>On the micro side, it would depend on your hardware and I'm not familiar with it.
