python-web-server

[WORK IN PROGRESS]

More Details:

sudo pip install Flask
sudo pip install flask-api

Run python server.py from the directory you clone this project.
The app starts at http://localhost:5000/
To run Motor: http://localhost:5000/api/runMotor - For now this is a GET, i will change this to a POST soon.

Add server.py -- This is where the definition of End points and what they do is. For now, all the functions are in the same code. Eventually, i need to move them into functions of their own.
Add directory templates and add home.html and motor.html in this directory. These are html files used to render the page. Its work IN-PROGRESS.
RESOLVED BUG: The time.sleep doesnt work when i start the Motor.
- The motor keeps running.
- The workaround is to stop the motor manually using the below code.
  - I am using GPIO Pins 36, 38, 40 (In GPIO.BOARD Mode)
  - That means these are wiringPI PINS 27, 28, 29
  - Using these pins to send a 0 (LOW to 27 and 29)
  - This will stop the motor

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ gpio write 27 0
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ gpio write 29 0
