Yup, the Current Cose.... pesky tinyurl didn't work.

The full url is:

(assuming it works!)

Or here:

http://www.currentcost.co.uk/


It has an RJ45 port on the bottom that chucks out XML data every 6
seconds.....but it's TTL level so I got one of these:

....which is a TTL->USB cable and comes up as a comm port under
Windows.....then a quickly hacked together xAP to chuck the xml data over
xAP.

xAP Floorplan is currently logging the data for me and when I get a chance
I'll whip up a web page to display statistics and such.


Not bad for £28!


Cheers,

Martyn
