My next step/goal for this project is to try to reduce the cost, size, and complexity.
I am currently running the web server on an old laptop running ubuntu. This requires more power than is necessary and takes up more room than necessary.I want to try to make this project smaller so I am looking into using a router running OpenWrt. I have already ordered the Atheros AR9331 SoC, which is the same router used to create theWiFi Pineapple Mark IV.
In the first stage of this project. I used a full size arduino board. To try and shrink the overall size of this project I am going to try to use a Teensy board.
Any thoughts? Contact Me
It should be able to run just fine a WAMP server (i have not tried it though). You wold have to modify the $serialPath (located in index.php) to point at the appropriate windows COM port. On my LAMP server its set to ‘/dev/ttyUSB0′ so you would switch it to say ‘COM1′. You would also have to make sure Apache has permission to write to the COM port.
