I watched and went through 3 tutorials for setting up a web server to control BBB GPIO and even went through the Simon Monk book and downloaded this simple IO example
Here are 3 of the examples I have tried: Beaglebone and Websockets, a full example that turn on/off a led http://isolasoftware.it/2012/04/23/beaglebone-and-websockets-a-full-example-that-turn-onoff-a-led/ BoneScript SocketIO Example https://github.com/lgxlogic/BoneScript-SocketIO >From the Simon Monk book use 09_01_led_control.html and 09_01_led_control_server.js https://github.com/simonmonk/prog_bbb/find/master None of these examples work on my BBB. I can control hardware/GPIO using Javascript through Cloud9 or python running directly on the BBB but cannot get it to change an IO through an HTML web app as are shown in these tutorials. And the only way javascript actually ran until I turned off the debugger was to drag and drop it into the autorun folder otherwise they will not run with the debugger on through the cloud9 interface. When I served up the jQuery/Flot examples on the BBB through a browser at least they seem to work I do not have a bacon cape I have my own custom cape. For now I would like to control only 3 GPIO on the beaglebone through a web page. So far I can only do it through directly running Py or JS. I do get this error, I will eventually need to read/write the UART but I will worry about that once I get the simple GPIO working. </html><script src="/static/preview/livecss.js"></script> Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not found) Which is weird since the "livecss.js" line is not even in the HTML as far as I can see I did install socket IO and had to change the src line to this(Specific directory link) in order to get it to NOT give an error. Errors are using Chrome debugger. (CTRL-SFT-J) <script src="http://192.168.7.2:3000/preview/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/socket.io.js";> </script> the first error happens right after the line var socket = io.connect(); Uncaught ReferenceError: io is not defined. Then I get an error whenever a button is pushed which is Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'emit' of undefined Any suggestions or recommendations? I am a hardware engineer trying to learn software to develop code to control a Beaglebone based product I designed. I need to develop remote menus that run on PC, Cell Phone, tablets etc. and after watching these videos/tutorials it seem like using HTML/JS through the server is the way to go. The other option is to add an LCD and develop a Menu through that and do the Server HTML menus later but that adds the LCD acquisition/development,/test to the equation right now, and I want to put that off until we get the system working. I have designed simulated and tested all of the pieces of hardware with simple Python programs but I need to develop an interactive menu based approach so the consumer can control the product. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
