Simple webserver aiming to be a thin remote controller for neopixel strips.
Developed to work with https://github.com/mrozycki/rustmas project.
If your host is capable of using mDNS, then you should be able to connect to the pico board using following hostname:
pico-w-neopixel-server.local
WARNING: There is no implemented conflict resolution - if you plan to use more than one neopixel server, consider changing the hostnames to different values for each server.
- CMake 3.19+
- ARM GNU toolchain
If you don't have them set up, you can use these instructions
Just send a POST request to the /pixels endpoint with 3 bytes of data per each pixel!
To generate example data you can use:
NUM_PIXELS=500
temp=0; while [ $temp -lt $NUM_PIXELS ]; do byte=$(expr $temp % 100); printf "\x$byte\x$byte\x$byte" >> tmp.txt; temp=$(expr $temp + 1); done;Then to send it to the device:
curl --data-binary @tmp.txt pico-w-neopixel-server.local/pixelsThe my_fsdata.c file containing the response res.json file needs to be generated using makefsdata executable compiled for the host machine.
Create a folder named fs and a res.json file with the content of {} in it, and run makefsdata -11 -nossi in the directory that contains the fs directory.
There are issues in the template repository for automating this using Perl/Python scripts, however those lack some functionality that the C program has, and we need, like the keep-alive header.
