RiotCSharp

RIOT (REST IOT) is intended to use a simple protocol to build an extensible and flexible system that can communicate among heterogeneous environments and devices. RiotCSharp is a repository for C# projects that support RIOT protocol. It is backward compatible with the Riot protocol implemented in https://github.com/rphuang/riot. The initial C# version supports the following features.

• Control Arduino I/O using a simplified REST protocol - ROC (Rest on Cable)
• Windows web service that supports
  • Windows system information, CPU perf data, memory usage, and storage data
  • Bridge service to other RIOT services (such as Pi servers from https://github.com/rphuang/riot)
  • I/O control to Arduino connected via USB

Getting Started

1. download/clone the respository. These steps assume that the code is under \src\RiotCSharp.
2. download/clone the https://github.com/rphuang/LibsCSharp and save under \src\LibsCSharp.
3. deploy Arduino code
   1. From Windows Explorer, Send to->Compressed (zipped) folder, for the four folders in \src\RiotCSharp\arduino\libsSrc.
   2. with Arduino IDE, Sketch->Include Library->Add ZIP Libraries to add those four .zip files.
   3. open the file \src\RiotCSharp\arduino\examples\RocSample\RocSample.ino
   4. deploy to Arduino
4. Edit app.config file \src\RiotCSharp\RiotServiceWin\App.config for the serial port in "Address:com6"
5. build the solution with Visual Studio
6. run RiotServiceWin
7. from web browser, goto http://localhost:8000/arduino/13
8. fron httpie, enter command: http localhost:8000/arduino/13 value=1

ROC (Rest on Cable)

ROC is a simplified RIOT protocol that supports comminucation with Arduino using USB serial port. See RocProtocol.md for details.

Issues, Notes, and ToDos

• support Raspberry Pi and move Windows specific code out of RiotServiceCore.
• support bi-direction request between host and Arduino
• add RiotProtocol.md for more details.
