NetBurner Community Forum

I am looking to use Netburner NANO54415 as a central capture site for information from distributed control and monitoring systems. The information will come in via RS485 and RF links. I want to present the information, using dynamic web pages, using graphs for sensor measurement history, gauges for current values, and also digital bit map images that come from cameras.

Can anyone suggest good web page development tools that can create web pages easily that can be used with netburner for displaying the type of information indicated? Although these tools don't need to be free, they need to be at a realistic price for a non commercial application.

Thanks

What i would suggest is that you look into Adobe Flex. or Silverlight.
With these you can create dynamic pages to send get info in near real time.
You create a socket connection server on the NB board. You also put the web site files on it as well. when you point your browser to the NB board it serves up the Flex or Silverlight page to your computer. It then links back to the NB board using that socket connection. Now you can send data back and forth very easily. Here is something i did years ago. I have a NB board with a SD card with 3 audio files on it in .mp3 format. I open the web browser and point it to the NB board, it serves up the page and then requests the MP3 file. I then send it up to it and it starts playing it. What you seeing in this video is the web browsers screen. Add data is coming from the NB. I dont have any of my other projects that i have currently done, however i have used this for years to show current relay information and controls.

Thanks greatly. I will look further into these.
When I was searching I came across a product called Sencha ExtJS. Have you have any knowledge of this?

Thanks

Never heard of it.

Take a look in you folder C:\nburn\examples\MOD5270\FlashDemo
This will get you started. I use this method for all my embedded devices. I was the one who gave NB the source for doing this.
IMHO there is no better way to exchange data back and forth between embedded and PC. Its fast, super easy and allows you to do so much its insane.

Thanks,
As you say, I am expecting this to be a great platform for easy worldwide access to data on embedded systems.
Thanks again.
