FYI, The full interface works like a charm on the HTC Dream smartphone. Way awesome when combined with free SSH utilities. Full control from the palm of your hand...

I do not have the protocol specification, but I do have the c source for the Linux control terminal which drives the communication and would surely contain all that you need to know. It's just a terminal-based command line tool, so it should be simple enough to figure out how it ticks. We would have no reason to want to own the resulting driver, since lots of people may benefit from this added functionality.

Our main link in our system is to a series of Galil DMC21x3 controllers which operate on some tcp protocol usually accessed through their console program (DMC Smart Terminal). Using the console, you can send commands which look like "TP" (Tell Position) and provoke an integer response in the terminal, giving an encoder position, and likewise send commands for movement etc. I was wondering if there is / could be a way to send commands directly from Mango using a communication driver for this Galil controller. If this is not an easy process, let me know if arrangements could be made for our company to finance the implementation of a driver for this. We are looking to use Mango for all of our systems, if we can get it to work this way. If you are curious about the application, check out www.power-spar.com for details. Mango would be in control of the entire system, and being able to do this internally would mean that we will not have to develop our own external program to deal with this issue.

Let me know what you think,

I would like to be able to use a serial NMEA 0183 listener to catch data from a marine weather station. As far as I can tell, it would be a pretty easy protocol to deal with, but I'm not technically savvy enough to make it happen. Is implementing a driver for this a possibility on your end?

There also seems to be no indication of this function not being included in the open version.

Aaahh... All is now clear. I'll have to buy the upgrade. Is the commercial version transferable? When I'm done playing with it on my laptop can I move it to my server?

Thanks,

No such luck. I seem to get an error in Tomcat which says "No mapping for [/public_view.htm] in DispacherServlet with name 'springDispacher' " and I get a "Page not found" in mango.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
