Blog2012 ≫ Further robot house progress

I have rewritten the web server on my arduino ethernet shield, to actually support different routes (pages) and respond differently to GET and POST requests. Previously I just had example code on there that did little more than the hello world example you get on nodejs.org1 that gives the same response no matter what request you send.

I only spent about an hour on this yesterday though, hard to find the time, I will try and do more in my next week off. Since my last update I have got the native android app actually sending the requests needed. It's such a tiny step to get it working now, I need an infrared led and a little more programming and I'll have a proper working demo turning the house lights on and off. This last tiny step is quite intimidating though.

This on the day the man who invented the remote control dies.

arduino: Microcontroller, hardware prototyping platform, a tiny specialised computer.

nodejs: Javascript (programming language of the internets) on the server side.
