Hello,

The app is great, I'm using a Gene Café CBR-101. I recently stumbled upon a web site called Roast Hacker, there are a couple of great articles about adding a thermocouple directly to the rotating drum: http://roasthacker.com/?p=529

I've built the probe and am hacking the software a little. I don't have the Data Logging feature of Roastmaster, I did wonder if I could mimic the Phidgets setup, but that's not looking easy...

So I'm wondering, is there an option for Roastmaster to have a Data Logging feature whereby either, you publish a specific API to poke temperature readings into (sensor placement [bean mass, ambient, whatever], temperature value etc.) and a means of discovering that service on a local WiFi network, or, a simple multicast message to a given (configurable) port could be implemented to enable anyone to code up any device to broadcast a trivial UDP packet to the local network, to be swept up by Roastmaster?

It'd break the dependence on a very specific set of devices, those of us who want to tinker with the growing number of things from people like Adafruit (the kit roast hacker uses) could easily integrate. Roastmaster would still make money from the Data Logger feature, a handful of config properties could make it very easy to customise and like I say, it breaks your dependence on a very specific hardware components

Thanks in advance - Robert...
