Hi All, this is not AVR-specific but I thought you could help me out. Jaycar had a web server in a box. This was so convenient for one could turn on and off devices via the internet and check the status as well. Arduino have got some nice boards but unfortunately they do not support SMTP and furthermore require a lot of software configuration. Would you please let me know os an alternative. Thanking You, Ad

Raspberry Pi. Knoiw it's noit AVR, but 25 euro, not bad

But if you don't need a GPU, it does have more IO options. carl -------------------------------------------------------- Henry Carl Ott N2RVQ hcarlott@gmail.com > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

How many people here, being used to bare metal programming, would be comfortable programming the Raspberry?Sure, it's hard to make an embedded web site anyway; but for most non-networked things? Sorry this is a bit off-topic but it's a question to the people I care to hear from :-) Cat [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I got something from Netburner that has a web server, and a couple of serial ports and firmware to give you a virtual serial connection over the web. You can also use it to present web pages and some of their products include I/O ports and ADC inputs. They have a complete GUI to configure and program it. Not particularly cheap, but its easy. They sell everything from complete boxes, like what I bought to only the micro with their IP pre-loaded for you to incorporate into your own designs. For simple stuff, I've also just used a web enabled power strip that either powers the device or powers a relay.

Not familiar with Jaycar "webserver" but certainly, any "real" webserver will do more than smtp! Does it not do udp or anything like that? If it is the one I found ( SD / MMC Card Webserver In a Box ) , the catalog says http, ftp, smtp CLIENT, dns CLIENT, RS232 serial port. So, it is NOT an smtp server, it is a client. Send an e-mail to it, and have it send an RS232 message. Should work fine with any AVR board with a serial port I would also suggest that it is very likely that ANY web device will take a lot of "software configuration", no matter what the protocol.

What we are forgetting here, is that the OP asked for something that would handle smtp because the "server in a box" supported smtp. However, in looking at the specs, the smtp that this device supports is as a CLIENT. On the other hand, it also supports html, which should be very easy to handle with any of the arduino/avr tcp/ip interfaces. So, all this talk about rasperry pi may not be relevant to the OP's needs. He/she has never made an input other than initial query, which is a bit odd. Maybe we need to hear more before getting so deeply into this. Jim Wagner Oregon Research Electronics
