This is not nice.

What are people using instead of Pachube? The new form Xively doesn't promote the same amateur developer features that were available with Pachube.

I'm after a simple interface for logging like many feeds logged temperatures and other environmental variables.

I now need to send the data via the ethernet connection to a folder in a website. To access this folder, I have a login and a password. Has anyone had experience with saving data into a folder that is protected by a login and a password ? I'm way out of my depth now... Andrew You're going to need t...

We have the EtherDue coming soon which covers all of that except for RTC.

Is it EtherTen /Goldilocks size?

How about an EtherTen with the 1284P as it's just too easy to run out of program memory with projects using ethernet. A MAC chip and RTC, 2nd serial port like the Goldilocks.

You need to put the RTC and DS3232 libraries in the Arduino libraries folder then restart the IDE. Then from the File menu open the examples menu and browse for your examples relating to hardware time devices. This will give you a good start.

1284p board features - Definitely keep the switch mode power supply. Add ethernet similar to the Etherten as ethernet projects could use more memory. The ATmega32u2 could go. Programming via the ICSP is fine or add pins for FTDI USB. Keep the SD card but seperate it's MCU pin use from the shield pin...

I updated the boot loader with OptiLoader. This allowed larger sketches.
