Oh waht joy.

 

all i can say is don't try it on a 64 bit windows 7 pc/lappy.

 

had to dig out my old XP laptop (that i use to interface to cars) to flash router.

then forgot to switch off firewall so no ftp in (stumped me for another 20minutes)

then useless livebox wouldnt power up (child had switched off extn lead coz daddy was not being fun "she's 6!!!!")

hour later of lots of fun she agreed daddy could "play" again and she would leave him alone and do painting.

havin lots of fun.

 

regards

So finally got currentcost cable and development boards

another couple of hours of fun, no idea how i got pacube graphs working but they seem to be (more luck than judgement)

Finally got HAH located in it's final location currentcost wired in (still waiting on development board-not moaning only ordered it friday) but have the mounting frame all ready.

 

also decided to sort out doorbell system-large house parcels going uncollected- cant hear door bell but camera system shows they did ring and wait for a resonable time.

 

will post photos soon/when phase 1 and 2 is completed.

 

also made a TTL to serial interface so i can put the cc128 data on a local pc as well (and get rid of the owl)
