Usage

• Clone this repository to you projects file

• on server or personal computer install nodejs

• on server in repo directy use npm i to install the needed packages

• copy files to edison. I am using the 'deploy' script with my edisons ip address hard coded. The edisonClient fold contains a simple client to send data back to the server.

• Change the endpoint variable ./edisonClient/index.js to match the ip address of your server.

• To run the client on the edison, use node index.js in the edisonClient folder.

• On the server in the github repo run the server with node server.js

• For the live stream test example on the page 'localhost:3000/test' you must allso:

  • cd to browserClient
  • npm i
  • npm start and keep that program running in the terminal.

Your server should now recieve json data from the edison and print it to the terminal on the server

Known issues

• The request library works most of the time, hoever it will often crash the node process:

net.js:708
  var state = self._writableState;
                  ^
TypeError: Cannot read property '_writableState' of undefined
    at Object.afterWrite (net.js:708:19)

A work around is to install forever with npm i forever -f and start the edisonClient with forever index.js. This will restart the process when the request library crashes the process.
