RA Client listener/logger on SheevaPlug?
Posted: Fri May 04, 2012 3:32 pm
Hi All--
Has there been any motion to port the RA Client listener/logger to another architecture? Linux, in particular?
I have a network appliance called a SheevaPlug, which is essentially a low-consumption linux box stuffed into a 'wall wart' configuration a few inches in size (I'd post a link, but since is my first post to this forum I don't have those permissions yet. you can google to find out what I'm talking about). The plug comes with a 1.2 GHz cpu, 1Gb mem, usb port, ethernet, and Ubuntu pre-installed. I currently have my plug in an 'always on' state, and use it to serve media files across the rest of my network via Samba.
My Windows machine, by contrast, is big, hot, and consumes a lot of power... not something I necessarily want to leave powered on 24/7. Also, it dual boots, and so can't be left on to monitor my reef angel if I need to work on the Linux side of the installation for a while.
Ideally, I'd like to run the Client listener/logger on the low-power SheevaPlug for continuous data collection, and serve the plots and data to the client on my windows machine when I have occasion to fire up my power-hog desktop computer. Dave has something labeled 'source' on his github, but all I see in the tarball is a windows installer package. Is the actual source code for the listener/logger publicly available? Has anyone experimented with moving the code to a non-windows environment?
--many thanks...
