Thanks.
I hadn't heard of vfpx because I've been pretty well out of work for the
most part since 2003.
Haven't even seen a contract using fp since 2009.
For the most part, I was working my way out of development and into
management back around 2000 because I saw more and more developer jobs being
sent offshore (figured management would be safer, but I was wrong <grin>)
I have a copy of vfp here and for the most part, I think I would like to
develop the majority of the application using vfp.
At least the part that is local.
Problem is, that would knock out the raspberry and arduino and require a lot
more money which I have none of.
Go to kaaw and enter arduino in the search box.
I have seen some very nice youtube video's come across about people doing
the same things that you are talking about.
Here is another area I would like to experiment with as funds become
available.

If this works as he says it does, I wouldn't even need a hot water heater
here in cental texas.

I have an Oregon scientific weather station and use cumulus for the software
side. It's neat but maybe not as cheap. I do have a Pi and I think it's a
great bit of kit for the money. Not looked into arduino though. I would like
one day, when I have central heating again, to have it controlled by a
computer and it seems a good cheap choice.
I'm surprised anyone on profox has not heard of vfpx, and yes that's the
one. There are some great ideas there including the charts which might work
for you. The only problem with such things as vfpx is they are changing even
when done. Seems like they are never done and it makes it hard to use when
they have to be updated a lot. If that makes sense. Still very much worth a
look.

Never heard of vfpx.
