Current Cost Support Forum

I was wondering if anyone had written an application for a NAS (either Netgear or Synolgy) to make use of the USB cable feed from the CC Envi or EnviR display unit.

Many Thanks

Hi

I have setup a NAS to capture the data stream from the ENVI into daily data files.
Now that I am using the CC bridge I am splicing the serial data and using the same code to capture the data on the NAS.

I am using this NAS


with a custom firmware


It was quite involved since I had to change the NAS source code and cross platform compile it. This was mainly necessary to in order to
add driver support for the usb to serial adapter (the same that is in the standard cable for the ENVI).
Then I had to write a script that takes the serial stream and saves it to date stamped files. That script gets automatically started when the
usb to serial adapter is plugged in or the NAS starts up with it being present.

I did have some problems with splicing the serial cable, you are essentially listening into a serial communications so only connect the Rx and ground.
My first cable was of bad quality so that it would drop our occasionally. Now with the CC bridge I bought a full RJ45 splitter and I therefore don't need to
splice the original cable anymore. I just cut a LAN cable in half and connected the appropriate wires to the serial to USB adapter.

I am not sure if that helps you since you want it for Netgear or Synolgy and I don't know anything about them.
But essentially if you can get the serial stream into the NAS you should be fine. The usb to serial adapter that is in the ENVI cable is based on the
PL2303, so if your NAS has driver support for that then all you need is to write a script for logging the data and get it started.

If you want any more info let me know.

Cheers
