Ha. i think the title sums it up.
What I'm after:
RoR App <=> MAGIC DATA TRANSFER* <=> Arduino Ethernet shield
*magic data transfer has been achieved using telnet
... BUT with this AWFUL ascii converted data
Example:
I telnet in, and send it:
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
stepper rotates
ABSOLUTELY NOT what im after...
i want to send it:
"100"
stepper steps 100 steps
"-100"
stepper steps reverse 100 steps
- CAN this be done with telnet?
- MUST i resort to this fugly data conversion
if ( #2 == 'true'){
Forget telnet ... what can i use to send real STRICT .. unconverted data types?
}
I simply cannot imagine that there is NO way to send my data as an INTEGER .. and not have to do this wonky conversion / reconversion bc im using TELNET as a transfer method
... telnet is the simplest solution .. which id like to use .. but id REALLY REALLY like to send it actual integers
