RE: Electronic device control from RPG

And it won't be long when you wake up screaming again because realize you have just shouted the password parameter unencrypted from your car....

What about voice recognition ? I'd love to be able to speak CL! On arriving home I could shout from my car CALL OPENGATE PARM(PWD)!

Reminds me of when I started out. I was under a lot of pressure and woke up one night in a sweat convinced that I was an RPGIII being called with the wrong parameters.

Even better than getting your PDP-8 or -11 to play Daisy, Daisy, tell me your answer true - or have HAL sing it to you!

But on a more serious note, it would be fun to just start out with
something simple like a talking to a motor that has three states:
stop, forward, backward - almost like a garage door. Imagine how cool
it would be to write a program that could open your garage door from
your Blackberry which makes a web services call to your AS400 which "calls"
the garage door - that would just be so geeky cool.

Yes Aaron, but you probably want the hay loaded in the stall where
you keep that horse, too!

I know that was said in jest, but the past couple years I have
really wanted to do a project that would have RPG "talking" to a
physical electronic device to automate something in my home (being
that I have an AS400 in my basement). Has anybody done such a project outside of work?
