VSCP: What is brewing?

Rewriting MDF (Module Description File) parsers for VSCP this week and possibly next week. One for XML and one for JSON formatted MDF files. Format of the file is autodetected. Standard C++. Will make Python and node.js wrappers and c-lib available.
Every VSCP device holds a pointer to a file of this form. You can determine the functionality of the device from it, what it will send to you?, what you can configure?, get pictures of it, get the manul in a selected language, get firmware files, learn howto load firmware etc etc.
A powerful yet simple.

The influxdb open source software is a good tool to use to collect metrics from sensors. It is easy to setup and easy to work with (see the VSCP wiki) and querying with flux makes it a very potent tool. There is a build in diagnostic and presentat interface, but it is equally simple to display data (as we show in the demos) from influxdb on any custom web page.
You can also use Grafana to make nice graphics for your influxdb collected data and I will add some samples for it to later.
You find the demo pages at https://demo.vscp.org as always.


A new demo with VSCP over MQTT and websockets is now available at https://demo.vscp.org. Previously it has been possibly to view the power usage in our house/office in real time and with this added demo it is now also possible to view real time weather data from Los, Hälsingland, Sweden.
On the VSCP project wiki all information is available about the open data. The goal is also to add info, howtos, and descriptions of all solutions, hardware and locations for everything that generate this information. To finalise this will for sure take some time as there are other things that have higher priority.
More demos will be added as we go. If you want to contribute demos or code you are of course much wellcome to do so.
