Hello,

I was looking for a programming language for my iPad pro and it is delightful to see a programming language as smart BASIC. There are none like smart BASIC, at least I didn't found any. I need a simple language that has a realy a mature function set. I think smart BASIC has that.
From origine I have an electronics background but ended up in MS Office VBA (macro) programing. For leisure, in the very limited time I have at the moment, I tinker with Spark Core devices now also known as Particle Photon. Mostly temperature, water metering and accessing my smart meter. The Spark Core is a WiFi capable device which is connected to a cloud server and you can (re)program and flash this device hot over the web. The problem so far is to show the collected data on a screen. You need always an attached screen to the devices or your pc with Excel as data collector. What I want is simple accessing the internet by http and ask for the data. The Spark Core data can be read by POST/GET commands. My idea is to show my domotics data on my iPad with smart BASIC. I want to thank the smart BASIC programmer for this remarkable product.

Namaste!

Thank you!
Hope smart BASIC will be useful to you.

I do too.

I have a need were I do not need to get sensor data realtime, and all I need to do is download it from a website or cloud.

Marcel's project creates a JSON file, and I am almost done with my JSON to CSV conversion program. It kind of grew larger than I expected, and it will preserve the parent/child/dependency that is JSON structure, and it will also make label/data pairs easily accessible.

For access to sensors by address and realtime capture and processing, TechBASIC is what I use. However, I will also look into how this can be accomplished in SmartBASIC without having all the sensor classes as part of the language.

For example, if I use a Blue Tooth Low Energy device, TechBASIC has BLE classes that allow low access to its functions. But using the Adruino programming language, an operating system may be developed that does all that work and allows SB access to it via HTTP Protocol. Done right, the SB program may be able to send via HTTP commands that the Adruino program can do the work for SB.

It is an interesting concept that SB may have some abilities to work in the IoT field.

George.

Thank you!
Hope smart BASIC will be useful to you.
