All,
I built a webserver for a rs-232 connected weatherstation from 1998 era laptop. (256 MB ram, low power CPU)
I only used the screen / keyboard early on to configure things. Also the laptop never moves so there is no advantage to it being a laptop. The laptop has died so I want to replace it.
I'd like the replacement to be relatively small so it can fit under a bed, etc.
I've got a keyboard / mouse / monitor I can hook up for the initial build, but I would hope after that all support would be via ssh. I'd like the PC to have a rs-232 connection just because I've read the weatherstation doesn't work well with usb-to-rs232 adapters.
Recommendations?
In your searches, you might include the term UART (Universal Asynchronious Receiver Transmitter), as this is the circuit which is used to make an RS-232 interface.
Maybe an ARM based platform (one supported by openSUSE).
Thanks Greg
