Topic: Fetching a Number?

Is it possible to have the Chumby fetch a number (like a 1 or 0) from an html website and store it as a variable to be used in a widget? I plan on using a microcontroller like a Basic stamp, Propeller, or Arduino to send the variable to html.

Thanks,
Cameron

Re: Fetching a Number?

Yes, you can do that.  Many widgets fetch data that way.  The one thing you'll have to make sure you do is serve up a crossdomain.xml file that tells Flash that it's allowed to read data from that particular server.

Many of the built-in webservers (like chumbradiod) are designed to allow Flash to interact with hardware like the FM radio in this way.
