I noticed there is some interest in this audrey interface project I am working on, so I figured I would start a thread since some people want to help out to make things move faster.
Requirements:
Why?
This method wouldn't use much cpu power, allows you to create a very nice looking interface (including status of devices, latest snapshot of your security cams, etc) with an advanced layout considering the Audrey browser doesn't support advanced HTML. I have done this using HTML using many GIF's to build the layout, which slowed down Audrey considerably. the HTML imagemap code can be used to control objects, clicking on an object would refresh the GIF anyways, but for now, it will be all about a nice status screen. Considering the screen is 640x480, this display could also be used on TV's. Of course, this setup could be used with any touchscreen no matter what resolution, the point here is to do as much as possible with your tiny audrey cpu
Requirements:
- 640x480 (audrey screen resolution in full screen mode)
- GIF or JPG, depending on the need for animation and/or speed
- Should be generated on the fly using the HS activex object
- Generated using apache/php and GD or ImageMagick (IIS/ASP is an option, but not as fast)
