A Web API created in ASP .NET Core with an Angular frontend designed to control RGB light values over the browser.
Featuring the ugliest interface in the world:
Heres what the LED looks like in Gundam:
This project runs entirely on a Raspberry Pi in order to make use of its GPIO pins.
GPIO Wiring:
This project made use of the Web API/Angular template on Visual Studio 2019. To control the Pi's GPIO pins I used the Nuget package manager to install the System.Device.Gpio and Iot.Device.Bindings packages. I also include Swashbuckle.AspNetCore for Web Api debugging.
I developed the entirety of this application on my desktop so to run it on the Pi I had to do a couple extra steps:
command to publish:
dotnet publish -r linux-arm
and then used scp to push the app onto the pi:
scp -r /publish-location/* pi@raspberrypi:/home/pi/deployment-location/
These are steps outlined in Microsofts official IOT documentation
I then ssh into the pi and run chmod +x ./RGB within the deployment folder.
I also make sure to tell the program to run it on all url's so I can connect to the site on my desktop, far away from the pi.
./RGB --urls https://*:<PORT>
I think this program is pretty much finished for my personal Gundam build but I would like to add a Feature that allows me to modify the brightness of the led by pushing a string to the api. Something similar to Quake's light animation
Another thing I need to do is to put some actual effort into the Angular side of things and make the interface look presentable.
