blinkpie

A simple webserver for Arduino IOT

Prerequisite

A SSL certificate is needed to run the server. Run the following code to generate the certificate file (filename used in this example: server.pem):

openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.pem -out server.pem -days 365 -nodes

Note for Windows Users:

openssl is not installed on Windows by default. However, Git for Windows, MSYS2, etc distribute pre-compiled openssl binaries which can be used to generate the certificate.

Usage

To start the server:

blinkpie_ser --path "/path/to/ssl_cert"

To start the serial handler:

blinkpie_hdl --port COM2

To display help message:

blinkpie_ser --help
blinkpie_hdl --help
