Re: [ecf-dev] Raspberry Pi remote services?
Ok...coming to consensus about a raspberry pi service...great.

What I suggest we do is the following:

1) We each take a look at the pi4j API and see if we can come up with a single (or few) service types that abstract the relevant part of the pi4j functionality (e.g. address and i/o the pins).
2) I and whomever else wishes to help out declares the service types (java interfaces and any supporting classes) in one new API bundle
3) With 2, Sakith begins creating a PDE template for the remote service host/consumer
4) In parallel to 3, I and whomever else wishes to help out creates the host implementation...probably using pi4j as internal lib for the host impl
5) A simple consumer (sync and async) is created...for the template and end-to-end testing, at least

What I suggest is that the host be just another OSGi bundle with minimal dependencies, so that it can be run on Wim's server, or a minimal server (like the existing raspberry pi remote service tutorial), or anyone's server...

Hi,

Yes great idea. The remote service can be used to i/o the pins. I need to program this for the ECE talk. I already have a lightweight OSGi server that I will use to host this service.

What about using http://pi4j.com/ to talk to the GPIOs of the Pi. One
can hook up a multimeter to the GPIOs and make it do stuff. One just
needs a multimeter, old floppy cable and paper clips.

I like it.

Pi4j is Apache 2 license [1], so that's less friction/good.
