How to post "Status" on a website? SSL?

Is there any SSL or something we can use to post our status on a remote website? I have my AC III password protected, since I don't want people messing with my controls, but I'd also like to publish my status.

Thanks~!
 
You can but it requires a little bit of trickery.

dhoch wrote a VB app that does that.

Basically it logs into the controller and parses the info out of it and drops it into a MySQL db, then its easy to access via a public website.

I took that code and slightly modified it so it would work for what I want to do but I have it where it posts my current readings and current status, updating every minute.

I can forward you a copy of the code if you want, just post your email addy.
 
That would be cool. I have knowledge of VB script, just not sure what functions are available for logging in and parsing. I'm sure it's similar to all other programming scripts ;)

you have PM!
 
THe program is setup to do 3 things:

see my web page: http://www.danj.com/reef for the pages

1) Upload the current stats (you will see this in the top right hand corner of my web page)... does this every minute

2) Upload the current status of each piece of equipment (you'll see this on the equipment page)... I have this done every 10 mins

3) Upload (and update) the entire data log... this is done once a night. (you can see the results by going to the stats page and createing plots, etc.

Feel free to PM/email me with questions.
 
elephen, still haven't gotten the email?

dhoch, can you send me your script as well so I can look at that?

thanks!!!
 
Sorry something came up last night and I didn't get home till pretty late. I'll get it over to you tonight.
 
If you don't mind I would also like a copy of the program. I have the web server setup but can't access it with my phone because of the frames. I would love to dump the information to a public address that I can access with my phones web browser.

My email is clint(at)gotfrogs(dot)com

Thanks,
Clint
 
I would also like a copy of the code. Please PM with a link or I can provide you with a temp location to send it.
 
I try to make this simpler... please PM me with an email addy if you want a copy of the code.

Dave,

I like the way you have the current conditions in the upper corner. Nice presentation.

I need to remind myself to check your web cam when I'm not at work. I have a static web cam. Thought about getting a controllable one but I've got other tank toys to buy 1st.

Ted,

Interestingly enough I got the tank cam used right here on RC at a great price.

Dave

You got PM:)
 
For all who have asked for this code...

Please be patient... I'm making some updates so that hopefully you will not need any vb experience to make this work...

Right now it only uses the ac III network connection, but I'm working on getting it to work via telnet for the AC II and AC Jr users as well...

Please give me a couple of days and I will respond to all the requests.

Note that this requires a database to upload to... currently it's only mysql, but I'm going to generalize to ANY odbc compatable database....

If you have any questions feel free to PM, or visit my website (click the red house above this post) and send me an email.

Dave,

Thanks for all of your work and generosity. I know that many of us really appreciate it!

Clint

Ditto!
 
I agree- very generous and thank you!! I'm sure this took you some time to put together and it is great that you are willing to share.
 
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For taking the time so the rest of us can use this cool feature.

Do you have a Paypal account?
 
I do have a paypal account... you can pm me for more infor (or again email me from the website)...

I need some help/testing from someone with an ac Jr or AC II... please again PM/email me...

I'm very close now :)

Dave
