In need to get data from a wireless sensor network to control Pd patches. The WSN feeds to a database on a server and I need to send queries over the internet to the data server in the form http://ip address/data/location/device/now (or when on a LAN: ip address/data/.../.../now). How do I send the query out of the Pd patch, and how do I get the resulting data back in? (The data comes in this form: 2007-03-22 18:00:01,17,1,0, which timestamp, device ID, data). I would automate the querying with [metro]. [netsend] [comport] [netserver] don’t seem to apply.
