Programming on the go - A Packet full of IOTs
So now I have my C-written programming utility ported
to Android courtesy of React Native. Yes, you got this right,
C code runs in EC6 JS now, interfacing with the Java through bridge.
To my surprise, it flashes pretty quick, even though it requires
to convert each block of data to ASCII string prior to sending
it down to ESP8266 via serial.
Firmware
As you may've noticed, I use my own custom ESP8266 firmware,
that employs many but all interactive features that this chip supports:
sending data both ways realtime, saving logs/files, managing server/clients,
scanning wifi, reading/writing remote sensors, showing graphs, etc
I will likely add a public version of it later for download.
Respect goes to
Felipe Herranz for his awesome serial port API,
Melih Yarikkaya
for porting the API above to React Native,
Both RN developers and the community out there for their great documentation and effort.
Thanks to you guys it took me less than a week to see this project through.
