TryFi

The Fridge Monitor Progresses

I have been working with the XbeeWifi  page, and hacking together a sketch. I expect to have this figured out by Friday, and will post updates as they arrive. So far, joining a WIFI network seems easy enough, and since this is all editable code, we can definitely configure routines to allow scanning and selecting of WIFI networks.

Looking at the Programming Arduino book I mentioned in a previous post, the ability to create and handle websites is very code-intensive, but allows websites hosted by Arduinos to have a very high level of control over the device -- able to turn pins on and off, which means controlling all kinds of lights, motors, sensors, and other devices is trivial from a basic webform -- imagine every device in your house hosting its own webpage, where you can turn it on and off, among other things.
