Web of TXT

Basic mapping layer between a fischertechnik Robo TXT Controller and WebThings. Runs on the community firmware.

Adapted I/O

• All inputs as either a button, resistor, ultrasonic, voltage, line follower or color sensor.
• All actors as either motor or single lamp output
• Counters as read-only numbers and a reset action
• Playing a built-in sound via action
• Input voltage
• Reference voltage
• TXT system temperature
• Camera

Potential I/O

• I2C sensors

Build

Run ./build.sh to generate a zip file that can then be installed on the TXT via web UI. This expects there to be a python 3 binary called python3 to download all necessary dependencies.

Quirks

• Inputs are refreshed approximately every second, this may lead to flicker on consumers (the official Mozilla gateway for example).
• Stopping and re-starting the server may not behave properly and errors will not be surfaced.
• Configuration of inputs and outputs is not persisted.
