Overview

Content

This provides a Spin2/Pasm2 object to be run on the P2. The P2 communicates over high-speed bidirectional serial with a connected Raspberry Pi (RPi), which runs a Python script that handles the requests from the P2. These requests provide access to many services, providing a rich internet-of-things (IoT) capability to our P2.

See the system diagram depicting how this all works: System Diagram

Today you can choose from:

  • Sending email from your P2
  • Controlling your P2 from a web page served from the attached RPi
  • Reading data from files on your Raspberry Pi
  • Writing data to files on your Raspberry Pi
  • Querying configuration values of Pi from the P2

A collection of demos with working code for each can be found at: DEMOs

At the Repository, you can find:

  • Full RPi setup and configuration details to get all features of the demo running on your own hardware
  • Wiring instructions for the serial communications from the P2 to the RPi
  • Configuration instructions for the RPi Apache web server
  • PHP-based demonstration web page(s) that shows a display of values received from P2 (and maybe even UI controls that can send values to the P2)
  • Both the P2 Object source and the RPi Python daemon scripts
  • Example code that shows each of the services being exercised
