you dont need sockets , you can make the weight program scan inputs every n seconds .. or you can program it to be an event hundler to any change in unputs
start with weight program , design it the code it . test untill you satisfied .. now you can do the connection with backend in many ways .. you can make your program connect to the same database that your django has access to it you can record in csv or json files and send them to django as Tom mentioned maybe try to use django rest for hundling json requests and responses also you can make the program embedded in your backend django as a module or a script On Thu, 12 Jul 2018, 21:09 Thomas G Lockhart, <tlockhart1...@gmail.com> wrote: > You can use Django REST framework to get data into Django and a separate > Python (or other) program to feed it in.
