If you are smart enough to know that you can and should have some knowledge of why your check engine light is on BEFORE you seek outside assistance and are trying to do it yourself an online or manual search of where that all important connector to plug in an auto code scanner, can be exhausting, and not always. 'Hello World' not running. Or send your question to the Yahoo groups email list. Is it possible that I can download the Evolution software without.

I'm looking for a low cost stand-alone web server board that I can plug straight into the 10/100 network switch that connects to my ADSL router, and host a couple of small plain HTML web pages out of on-board memory. It'd be 'icing on the cake' if the board also had the ability to monitor a couple of inputs, and better again if it could also switch a couple of outputs.

Am I asking too much? Can anyone make any suggestions? I'm in Australia, but I'm happy to buy from almost anywhere. Thanks, Peter.

I didn't have a fixed price in mind, but it'd have to be significantly less cost-wise and power-wise than leaving a PC on to do the same thing. I'm looking at Rabbit's web page right now, and it seems that it might take me some time to work out which of their many products could be suitable.

I can't immediately see anything that seems to work 'out of the box' as a web server, though - looks like most of their boards need at least some software development.

I like to encourage the re-use of old hardware; there are plenty of retired 'lan modems' and desktop routers which would fit the bill; even newer devices like certain low-cost DSL routers (~$10.00 on eBay) can be made to run a *nix derivative. One of my favorite older devices is the Telebit Netblazer PN; it is the size of an older external modem (the same size as Telebit modems of the mid 1980's) and comes with two serial ports, 10BaseT and an internal 3.5 in.

Floppy drive (which is used to boot a netboot loader for subsequent TFTP transactions, or can be used to boot the device standalone). It is x86-based and runs a derivative of BSD (but has a shell oriented to routers) and has TCL; there are loads of TCL scripts including a decent httpd for this box and of course it does TCP/IP, IPX, RIP and other routing protocols and you can script the serial ports to bit-bang devices. The best part is the cost -- essentially zero plus shipping if you search for them. Another useful antique is the Multitech 1432 series LanModem; it is a 386 or 486 network booted single board computer with up to 128mb ram, 10BaseT UTP and AUI, two serial ports, SVGA video and kbd/mouse ports with Phoenix BIOS -- pretty standard, and is the size of a recent external modem, and is usually a give-away. Many of these boxes also have a parallel interface (ieee 1284) which you could program to control or monitor devices. With a little effort one could create a short list of candidate boxes and do a little scrounging on-line; there is no reason to have to spend much money for a task such as yours.

Pretty much all you need to supply is the IP address and the content. If you're happier configuring rather than compiling, maybe take a look at: I understand these run OpenBSD (my server OS of choice), amongst others. Steve http://www.fivetrees.com.

Of the links and information that people have posted so far, the Modtronix SBC65EC (priced at US$70, although they seem to be an Australian company) seems to come closest to what I want: Does anyone have any experience with this board or other products from this company?

The inputs and outputs are probably there, but it might be a challenge to find them electrically and logically. You can also use older WRT54G units.

Linksys changed their basic unit by halving the flash and RAM, and moving to VxWorks from Linux. The 'L' version retains the larger memory or the older units. I think the break between good and bad non-'L' units is version 5-6, but in the store you want to look at serial numbers, not version numbers.

I might be able to re-find the data if necessary.

I've been playing with it for a couple of days. Picked it up after seeing it mentioned here (or on a related newsgroup). Seems to have a lot of potential but a dearth of documentation or 'getting started' examples for dynamic web page creation.

The best chance seems to be a web-search for 'web2cob' and go from there. Distributed through Mouser for about US$50 in small quantities. -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA.

Heh - the Rabbit sample does exactly this - or at least it provides a CGI interface to a couple of outputs (LEDs on the eval board). Extending it to read a couple of further inputs is almost trivial.

If you want a simple webserver in a box our SB72EX will do that.

It can serve up webpages from on-board memory. (If you want to interface external sensors the try out MOD5282 development kit. It has serial, A/D, gpio, can, spi and I2C interfaces.
