stulleman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I configured my Raspberry Pi as a LAMP server. I have LEDs connected to my RP and can control them with c/c++ programs. Now I want to built a web interface to control the colors of my LEDs. For my first attempt I used JQuery to send different commands to a PHP script that would execute a program with the color as a parameter. This doesn't seems to be the best solution, because I'm pretty limited on any effects I can make. So my second idea was to use sockets to send information to my program. This means my ledControler program listens for incoming commands and executes them. For this I used Websockets, but since I didn't use a library for my c++ program, it was very painfull to implement the whole WebSocket RFC. Another idea was to use PHP sockets. But I didn't test it out. My question is, am doing this completely wrong? Is there a simpler preferred way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Although I own a Raspberry Pi I have not messed with it much. I suspect that there are probably Raspberry-Pi-specific forums where you might find many more people who might know these answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stulleman Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Okay that's an idea. But this question is not Raspberry Pi specific, as it would fit any other server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Perhaps you can install Apache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
