Har du några miljoner du skulle vilja investera så vet jag det perfekta bolaget….

Lugn jag skojar!

Jag har ett problem. Jag håller på att jobba med en release av mitt framverk VSCP & Friends och behöver hjälp med idéer. VSCP är nämligen stort och maffigt och kan en massa saker och det kräver såklart att man sätter sig in i systemet för att kunna göra de där sakerna. Är man nu en av media och de social nätverken godkänd lösning så är det där inga problem. Folk laddar ner, installerar och läser hur man gör. Men är man mer okänd som VSCP så har man 15-minuters spärren att ta hänsyn till. Det går till såhär

1. Det där verkar coolt.
2. Ladda ner.
3. Installera.
4. Kör. Nu skall det hända saker. Häftiga grejer. Så man blir imponerad. För gör det inte det på femton minuter från punkt ett till hit så är man avinstallerad innan en gris hinner blinka.

Så förslag någon? Vad skall hända?

The VSCP & Friends release version 1.0.0 code name “Neon” will be out in October if all goes well.  The documentation for the VSCP Daemon is available as a preview here.

From this release Windows will again be supported.

If you have the VSCP Daemon on a Linux machine you can use the DigiTemp software to collect temperature from 1-Wire sensors.  The information is logged in a file by DigiTemp ,this article describes how to make this data come to work in a modern world.

…and you have a live diagram on your page with VSCP websocket interface.

or a live gauge

or a table that is filled dynamically

and that’s just with the Google Charts tools + the vscpws lib.

I am working hard on adding a REST interface to the VSCP daemon this week. Formats supported are plain text, CSV, XML, JSON and JSONP  and you can send event/read events/write variables/read variables and read tabular data. I personally prefer the old tcp/ip interface but I know many will like this interface better. Also from this version SSL will be available as an alternative to the web/rest/websocket/tcp/ip interfaces in addition to the password and remote machine validation mechanism previously available. Making this the most secure solution available.

VSCP turns fourteen today. It’s probably nothing to celibate, it’s much more about not being able to convince people to participate, to have an idea in your head an work or at least think about it every day for fourteen years. The hours spent on this project can’t be counted. All other hot and written about projects that has been around for a short time and then vanished like they never been there during this time can also not be counted easily.

So fourteen years is about not giving up, even if you don’t hit success. About being crazy enough to work on and on and on even without getting nothing in return and to believe that the road your move ahead on still can be the road that takes you to the place you always been walking towards.

No, I will not celibate today. I will walk on that road.

I am blowing life in the windows version of the VSCP daemon again and making the web i/f and the websocket i/f working also here. Why? People ask for it every day. No I actually don’t have time to support both but will give it a try again.

A new lib will be used. Support for SSL will be available both in the webserver, the websocket interface and on the tcp/ip command interface.
