I might be flogging some, I have just seen these and decided to use them to control my underfloor heating as they are already IP enabled and you can control them several ways, SNMP, web browser built in etc, the one that appeals to me is XML over HTTP so I will be able to use just use Python with various modules for the logic and comms. I bought some relays from them before and they are spot on. They also have some interesting boards with IP and various digital and analogue inputs, could be useful for controlling machines.
If I do decide to part with one or more I shall let you know.
Cheers
Andy

Ooh, nice! They have some good gear on there, but I notice their prices are in $$, how does this work out for us Brits ?
I have a house full of controllers and plcs (I work for eurotherm so my day job is programming that kind of stuff stuff for industrial customers applications
)but I quite fancy having a play with the arduino stuff. Most of the stuff I do in work is with a function block programming language, so doing something a bit more stripped down could be interesting.

I tend to do my electronic projects over the long winter evenings. I have my Raspberry Pi running my weather station and last winter I used a PIC to make a device to identify unlabelled live Ethernet sockets (makes my day job easier).
This winter the plan is for a radio controlled portable badminton scoreboard with 100mm high 7 segment LEDs (when we play we can never keep track of the score).

I've got a 2 picaxes (8 pin & 20 pin) and an Arduino Leonardo and I find the arduino so much easier to use and there seems to be much more online resources to help with arduino than picaxe. Also, I don't think picaxe supports ISP or I2C serial interface used by most ICs.

100 USD is about 65 quid, to play safe on the exchange rates given they are in Bulgaria if you divide their figures by 0.7 it will be about right,
