I connect one Meraki via the wired connector to a laptop with a web server. I then connect to the Meraki with a wireless iPhone or a wireless laptop. Then one device is doing something for me. What I want to do is use a Meraki as a smart webserver. Since you mentioned it has Ruby onboard, I want to see if I can use the webserver to collect data via the UART or GPIO on the Meraki, and present it to an iPhone. This would make the Meraki a data collection/controller device and the iPhone would act as the GUI that is wirelessly connected to the Meraki. If this is possible, I would ask if you might help me a little bit for compensation to get the Ruby going.

I found that the range of the meraki is less than the range of the wifi in my router. It works great if you need to extend the range by using a second meraki. It also is good in that you can plug a meraki directly to a computer that does not have wifi. You will always need at least two merakis to get any use out of them Regards Diarmuid Gus S Calabrese wrote: > Hi Diarmuid > > Does the Meraki Mini talk directly to a wireless laptop ? > Or does the MM only talk wireless to other MMs ? > Best > > Gus > meraki@nope9.com > > On May 1, 2007, at 12:00 PM, Diarmuid Wrenne wrote: > -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
