Services
- iot-remote.com - “A project from Tinkerforge. It is used as an example implementation of a controlling web site for the Starter Kit: Internet of Things”.
Software
Original Server-side Software
- “The Brick Daemon is a daemon (or service on Windows) that acts as a bridge between the Bricks/Bricklets and the API bindings for the different programming languages”.
- Tinkerforge "Python - API Bindings" for Python 2.x and 3.x.
- On Python(x,y) with Python 2.7.6:
- This installation procedure works for me: Execute “python setup.py install” as shell command, from the “source” directory.
- The suggested installation procedure “easy_install tinkerforge.egg” did not work for me
, though it executes and finishes without any error message. It just copies the “tinkerforge.egg” file to the Python “lib” directory, which is not sufficient.
- “The Brick Viewer provides a graphical interface for testing Bricks and Bricklets. Each device has its own view that shows the main features and allows to control them”.
Third-Party Server-side Software
- Robert W. B. Linn "B4J WebApp rSwitchIt" - “B4J Project rswitchit - Remote Switch Devices”,
- “Idea: To use a B4J Webserver to control TinkerForge Bricklets accessed via Browser (device independent)”.
- “The solution build is based upon B4J, jQuery Mobile and the TinkerForge JavaScript API”.
- GitHub "Noxer/tinkerforge" - “A go implementation of the tinkerforge protocol”.
