and thanks to the great example was able to get it to work very seamlessly! However I was wondering if it was possible to retrieve a variable that is posted through some sort of web form on the web server?
I have gotten it to work over the cloud successfully. I am looking for the ability to embed a webserver on the core and then access it via local LAN w/o it being connected to the internet and passing it a string where it can be used on the core.
I have also found this example that seems to be in the right direction but definitely far over my head...
This seems to be far more advanced then what I need. Basically just looking to embed a web server on the core and pass the embedded web server a string it can use as a variable on the core.
I will take a look at that example, sorry I am very new to all the embedded stuff. I will see if I can get this to do what I want it to. I got the buzzer example to work, this is definitely on the right track, thank you.
Yes we would love a RESTful service being pre installed, right at the delivery of the photon.
If you look at http://www.cainetworks.com/products/webcontrol/index.html you may see the approach at a competitor, unfortunately not supporting wireless from the start.
