Efika 5200B Project
environmental monitoring (Part 1)in category Applications & Software
proposed by corsair on 8th October 2006 (accepted on 9th October 2006)
Project Summary
Hello,this project aims to be a client-server based application for monitoring
several environmental values like temperature or humidity. Other sensors could
be added. You could use this for monitoring server room\'s temperature at
several points or even several rooms. At each position would be one EFIKA
needed. For demonstration purposes one server and one client would be needed.
The client-server based structure makes it easy to send all the recorded
values to one point: the server. Here you can easyly check all values and
create statistics. The clients would be netbooted so you don\'t need storage
space on the client for saving the OS.
Regarding the OS: Gentoo Linux would run on the systems. I am a Gentoo/PPC64
developer by the way. I would work together with the person from
\"environmental monitoring (Part 2)\".
Best regards,
Markus Rothe

I'm sorry, university is killing my and John's free time at the moment (well, since the beginning of the year that is). The good news is, that this semester I got the knowledge about program engineering I need to write the proposed program. So we are moving forward - a little bit. Semester is ending September here in Germany. Once we've some spare time again we will finish our project.
So, what do we have so far:
- A skript for building netboot images based on linux, uclibc, busybox and the baselayout-light packages from gentoo.
- Some ideas for the client server application
- A few lines of code testing this and that
- Nothing works ;-)
