How to design hardware to connect with a Web Server ( With Ethernet)
Rigolon:
Well first of all, Thank you all for the help and tips.
Thx to you guys I found a lot of material do study. The company is actually trying to create a team to develop this system, so I'm taking part on the selective process and I need to show them that I at least have some ideas on how to solve the problem. They didn't say when the project must be finished yet, next stage of the selective process is next week (12/12). Is down to 17 candidates and they will hire at least 4.
I will let you guys know how is it going.
About the security part, I was also worried about that, but my main concern first is to learn a little how to create the application. Since I can't protect something that doesn't even exists.
But again, thank you all, and I will take it to heart what you all said about security concerns.
ToniGodoy:
I wish you Good luck.

Update:
Didn't get the gig :(. Thx for all who wished me luck.
But I'm learning a lot of interisting stuff. Found some tutorial by Wilfred Nilsen (RealTimeLogic) and will continue on this path.
Also found a nice tutorial to create a webserver on an arduino which sends a SMS when moisture of the soil is too low. Will adapt it for some other use, but now I have a start point.

The equipment is suppose to control velocity and direction of a motor. Can't really discuss more than that. It's pretty simple do that and I know I can do this with ease.
But here is the catch, this company sells the machine that has this motor across the nation and they want to control this from the internet. And that's what I don't have any idea on how to do. So from the web I would choose the device I want to connect to and increase/decrease velocity for example.

I have built a number of low-volume devices that are controlled remotely via Ethernet. I used the Beagle Board first, and have now moved to the Beagle Bone. Somewhat more expensive than the
Arduinos and such, but a very capable computer. It has a 200 MHz microcontroller built in which can be used when a lot of data needs to be pumped in or out. Since it runs a full Linux OS, you can build all the networking and security in that might be needed. (Not clear if this "motor" would be such that it could cause a hazard if operated in the wrong manner.)
You can do all the software development right on the Beagle, you don't have to cross-compile and download.
If it is some kind of motion control app, then there is Machinekit, which is usually used to run 3D printers and desktop machine tools, but can be used for any application where a programmed
path is required.
