[time-nuts] Lady Heather Server On Raspberry Pi 2 Model B?

[Nick Sayer]

I answered my own question. :)

ser2net works perfectly as a “server” for LH. I’m using a USB to serial adapter and the ser2net.conf line for it is

3200:raw:0:/dev/ttyUSB0:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT LOCAL

And for LH, /ip=n.n.n.n:3200 works.

That would be super awesome deluxe for me, and assuming it's just a serial-to-TCP protocol should be nearly trivial to write (heck, netcat might already just do it).

Basically, if you have to ask the question,  your are probably not ready to attempt the task.
