Hi,
I have some data stored in a PIC chip's EEPROM in my pump shed in the garden. What I would like to be able to do is each morning (or whenever I want) I can sit on my computer in my house and click a button and I can get the data from the EEPROM on to my computer. Its getting pretty cold outside at the moment and I don't want to trudge through the garden to get to shed.
Any ideas for how I can do this cheaply?
My computer is about 40meters from the shed. I have a wireless hub in the garage which is only about 5-10 meters away from the shed if that helps?
I was thinking of getting a network card and seeing if I can connect to that - seems quite hard to do though. Or maybe a RF transmitter to transfer it - I don't think it would reach my computer though.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Craig
