Here is the code and a pdf of the slides of my talk on connecting open source hardware to the web at Web Standards Group in Sydney Australia.
Here is the ethernet Flex code, the LED Flex code and the Arduino code for demos.

Tooltips are a great feature of the Flex charting components but it's an all or nothing affair either all your points display them or none of them do. Here a way so only the points you decide show tooltips when you mouse over them.
I'm involved in a project that is using the flexlib WindowShade component and it generally works well unless its content is resized. Here's a simple fix for this.
When creating a project in Flex Builder if you select the application server type as J2EE you need to have access to the WEB-INF flex folder of the server and the services-config.xml configuration file of the remote server. So what do you do if you don't have access to the WEB-INF flex folder?
When using remote objects in Flex (for BlazeDS) you may want to change the endpoint (server, port and context root) and switch between servers. This is useful if your development environment contains both testing and production servers (as it should).
The usual way is to define these settings in the Flex/Flash Builder project when the project is created but this is not easily changed once it's been set up.
Adobe announced today the name change of the old Adobe Community Experts program to the shinny new Adobe Community Professionals program. They also announced the list of the people who are in the program and I was one of them. It's great to see a strong Flex and ColdFusion presence in the list (about a 3rd of the total) and I'm looking forward to being a part of the program and helping out in any way I can.
A few other locals made it on the list as well. So congratulations to Kai Koenig, Campbell Anderson, Dale Rankine, Geoff Bowers, Andrew Muller and Mark Mandel. (If I've left any local ColdFusion or Flex people off that list many apologies.)
