Reflector is a broadcast gateway that runs on browser and communicate serial UARTs with websocket, simple and powerful.
Initially designed for debugging purpouses but opens a new way to mix hardware and web technologies.
This software is part of the FPGAwars ecosystem
Now is very early version with many bugs and very little error control, we are experimenting with this new way os mix hardware and softare, soon we evolve this application.
The first objective of this app is connecting with LOVE FPGA blocks.
You can find some examples at this project

Install Reflector as a chrome extension.
Soon will be at chrome webstore but while i'm stabilice it you can install it from source.
To install it:

Download or clone this repository.
-
In chrome browser go to url chrome://extensions
