WHAT
A super flexible piece of software that connects your serial interfaces to the internet and vice versa.
WHY
Because you can now:
- control your robotic friend
- make leds blink
- update your projects firmware
- create animations and pictures
- read sensors
- drive motors
- flash your arduino
- and MUCH more..
all from within your browser.
Your imagination is the limit.
HOW
The software suite is in active development an consists of two parts
1. a piece of software that is crossplattform and written in python
This connects the serial interfacs with the internet, receives websocket requests and sends data that comes from the serial interfaace
2. a javascript library that implements websocket i/o
TODO: A working example will be linked here soon.
Theory:
- A website for magicshifter.com would implement a colorful GUI where you can create images in javascript.
- When you are done you hit the UPLOAD button.
- If web2serial is already running on your machine you simply connect the device and the picture will be automatically uploaded, directly out of your browser.
- If its not running yet you will be asked to install the software and run it.
