  OLIMEX PIC-WEB – Compact Webserver For Your Projects

  

  I’ve been testing an Olimex PIC-WEB Ethernet Web PIC Development Board for a bit now and this little board comes in handy for projects that need quick web access.  The PIC-WEB offers a very small but powerful webserver based on the PIC 18F452. The development board has everything you need to serve web pages with 1 megabit storage on board!  I also have an Arduino with an eShield which I will be testing next!

  Available from SparkFun Eletronics.

  PREVIEW: Bitwise Control BC4 “Multi-Tool”

  

  I just received a Bitwise Control BC4 so I can add support for it to Myro:Home.  I plan on doing a full video review of this unit once I release 1.0.3 (this release is a pretty major one as it includes  significant performance enhancements!)   In the meantime, here’s a little bit about the BC4:

  “The BitWise Controls BC4 modular design allows you to select from several plug-in expansion I/O modules. Now you can tailor each install to the job’s specific control and monitoring needs. 

  Whether you’re using a web front end, mobile phone application or integrating with a residential or commercial control system, the BitWise Controls BC4 turns commands into actions. Our extensive two-way command set makes it easy to integrate with a variety popular control systems and networked user interfaces for maximum flexibility. “

  • Flexible communication options - choose from TCP, UDP, HTTP and RS232 based on the needs of each install

  • Simple to learn - One command set covers all I/O modules and devices to be controlled

  • Built-in monitoring - On board temperature sensor and two-way command protocol

  • Reliable - US designed and built, the BC4 is backed by 20 years of mission-critical experience 

  • Field upgradeable firmware - you don’t need to return a product to base to install new features

  • Commercial-grade - The BC4 features a rugged and well-shielded 20ga steel enclosure

  • Deploys anywhere - The 4.5” x 5” x 1” unit can be wall, shelf or rack-mounted
