Technically, this project is an Internet-connected Stepper Motor built on the Intel Galileo platform.
Experientially, it's a fucking MAGIC-MACHINE that BLASTS EMOJIS INTO YOUR ROOM from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Realistically, it's a
The Intel Galileo listens for Ethernet packets. A down-and-dirty hand-written HTTP parser extracts just enough info to figure out what to do. Either a webpage (stored in a C string, ha) gets piped back, or, some new action for a stepper motor is calculated. Stepper motor commands are then executed.
I should have just said "this is a giant, fun, hack."
The Arduino code lives in the .ino file, edit it with the Arduino console.
The webpage being served is rotateme.html. Run make to autogen it into a C string (stored in the autogenerated webpage.h).
