There sure are a lot of options here, I wasn't sure where to put this thread.
I need to develop an application to serve a client. The client being an M16C microcontroller which is interfaced to the ethernet via a Cs8900a module.
All I need the M16C to do is to set a selected range of pins high or low remotely from a web browser to be used by any user over the internet. This will be in the form of arguments to a function presumably (as I haven't finalised the workings yet).
I don't know much about this sort of stuff, but I know how Ethernet works and a little about various protocols etc and programming in C.
I should also add that I am programming the workings of the micro in C.
I just want the application to be a no-frills deal but still look nice on a browser (all it has to do is to accept users directions to switch pins/ports and accept incoming info). I am thinking of setting up the server to send the message via UDP, and letting the network equipment do the job, is this a good idea for a small network?Can anyone suggest a suitable solution? I want to know what I should write the server in and any tips for doing it. Cheers in advance if you can help.
