The Raspberry pi idea sounds good, but I was wondering if anyone knows a simple webserver that would run on a windows box to do the logging. I have a small netbook runnning logging software for my solar panel array – has to be windows. I am currently running moongoose server on this box that handles PHP, but not cron jobs. I’d like to use this box to host the opensprinkler javascript files and run the logging scripts. Its relatively underpowered, so I don’t really want the full XAMP thing – any ideas?
I may actually be better off just using the Raspberry Pi idea in the end, so looking forward to trying this method when Dan uploads the image.
