networked device
(OP)
Hi,
I'd like to know how to "network" a device. Say I had a sensor/transducer that I want to be able to read output from and push that to a web services. Obviously, it has to have a network card. I would probably need some programmable micro controller to get both to talk to each other and some signal processing. I don't know the lingo or every component required in the system. Can anyone shed some light here and perhaps through out some lingo so I can research this further?
Thanks.

RE: networked device
sensor w/ digital or analog output <=> programmable microcontroller <=> network interface
keep in mind this is supposed to be a stand-alone device (no pc)
RE: networked device
You say you want a web server, isn't that a PC-like device already?

Geesh, you can even purchase the whole shebang embedded within a power strip: ht
The above link is just one example of hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of similar options.
No need to reinvent such things. It's 2010.

You probably want to look at "EtherNet Serial Devices".
If you want to roll your own, there are board mounted Ethernet Servers that are contained entirely inside the sheilded Ethernet connector.
