Small program to switch lights on and off at sunrise and sunset

I bid $25 USD ppd for the original of that schematic.

Cool. e-mail sent.

I like it. Especially the reference to Netcat. I didn't know anything like that was available.

Netcat is one of the coolest programs, I use it all the time for testing, even worldwide.

man netcat does not say very much, but refers to /usr/share/doc/netcat/README.gz gunzip it, absolutely worth reading.

All the criticism about the poor quality of his schematics and he seems to have made this one even worse than the rest.

It is a shame you taint your fine work and interesting projects with such poor documentation. You should be ashamed of yourself! Shame on you, shame, shame, shame!

Jan, how about a mea culpa and I'll find a way to produce schematics that are easily readable on my webpage.

Hey, Jan -

I tried to turn off your leds just now. Did it work?

You would need to know my IP address for that! Try echo R0 G0 B0 | netcat -u -q 0 86.81.55.74 1024

Replace the '0' zeros by 0-255 for any light color for Red Green and Blue I have opened that port 1024 now just for fun. Anyone can try, I will give feedback, but of course I cannot easily see who does what.

Looks like a little piece of aluminum foil stuck under the daughter board on the RHS. And its (almost) lying on top of another DIP's pins.

Will that be a silent failure? Or a Phhhhht! complete with magic smoke?

That is tape, IIRC it prevenst some axial electrolytics from touching the PIC pins in case a heavy shock like a mars landing bends the boards.

Your address and port is shown on your Web page.

I just sent R50 G50 B50 to you.

Dunno if it was you, but it just worked:-) I was fast enough to start the ethernet logging:

No, it says 10.0.0.157 1024 for all I know, link please? I would have to remove it as this IP address will be someone elses in a few days,

And that worked :-)

days,

You are correct. My mistake.

PS

For example I can set the NAT table in the router to translate incoming UDP packets for port 999 to 1024 10.0.0.157 on the LAN. That is a good protection, as somebody may find the posting later and start to play, Then packets to port 1024 will just get lost (of course I will not use 999, take a guess :-) )

Once could set up a script that sends R0 G0 B0 to all ports in sequence though. But then this IP changes in a few days....

Yep! That's me. Now I'll turn them off.

Another project, called IO_pic has a password protection, it will not even respond without having seen the password string. Something on the to do list for the color thing.
