A raspberry Pi web app in node to remote control GPIOs in a browser with johnny-five

Remote Pi

This app runs on a raspberry Pi allowing you remote access via a webrowser to run Johnny-Five programs.

It is uses raspi-io wrapped with remote-io. The hardware is exposed via the scoket.io-serial transport to the self hosted browser app or to any other node client that wishes to connect to it.

Getting Started

This takes about half an hour on my Model A+ pi (and you may need to run it a couple of times if the install doesnt finish):

npm install

Then you need to build the web UI:

npm run build

Then you'll need to sudo to access the GPIOs:

sudo node server

Then open a browser to the pi's IP: http://MY_PI_ADDRESS:3000

Your robots code will be running in the browser, but remote controlling the pins on the Raspberry Pi!
