Rich, we use a MySQL server for the Ai core learning on the AIMEC robots, whats neat about this is that different design team members are teaching the core different things, but all connected robots then have this knowledge.

I recall DJ mentioning databases a while back in a topic however can't remember where that went. But, it would be a nice add-on (at least for me) if MySQL database access was built in to ARC.

Currently my method is very crude and slow for sending/receiving data (httpget & php web pages which fetch the data. FileWrite, EventGhost's file watching plugin and python scripts to write the data). I intend to look at it closer at some point, possibly using better methods - if I can get Telnet working with EventGhost that would clean it up a lot, I've not looked in to that at all yet but confident that it could work very well to bridge the gap.

My main problem with the SQL was when I had no internet it would kill everything in my house, something to do with IP Lookups or something if memory serves me correctly. I know I had to turn something off but I wasn't paying much attention when I did it.

But it's an awesome way for everything (robots, web pages and other software) to know everything and share the "knowledge". And that's just given me an idea of using it so Melvin knows where Jarvis is and vice versa

+1 for reading and writing to a database from ARC!
