Interfacing with the webplugin

MartinDK · September 4, 2018, 4:34am

Hello,

I am building a lot of shields and other small Arduino projects for the model railway community.
One thing is that many modellers are not very good at coding - so i was considering to help them out.

I would therefore build an php interface, that acted together with the webplugin, so that php made all the configuration, and the webplugin uploaded the generated code to Arduino.

So practically creating a sort of alternative to the Arduino Web Editor.

Anyone knows of any documentation for how to interacting with the web plugin?

There's a bunch of documentation here:

The Arduino Create Agent is a single binary that will sit on the traybar and work in the background. It allows you to use the [Arduino Create applications](https://create.arduino.cc) to seamlessly upload code to any USB connected Arduino board (or Yún in LAN) directly from the browser.

And a little (possibly not useful for your needs) more here:

github.com

arduino/arduino-create-agent/blob/main/docs/tools.md

# tools
--
    import "github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/tools"


## Usage

#### type Tools

```go
type Tools struct {
	Directory string
    IndexURL  string
    LastRefresh time.Time
	Logger    log.StdLogger
}
```

Tools handle the tools necessary for an upload on a board. It provides a means
to download a tool from the arduino servers.

that acted together with the webplugin

You say "THE web plugin" as though there was only one web plugin. Have I got news for you.

What other plugins do you know of? you got any links to their documentation?
