Serial Board: Bidirectional API

[whitehexagon]

I know the team has been busy with the show, but any progress on being able to send data back to the serial smart board via the API?  The current one way interface is a bit limiting.  An idea was mentioned here:

Or is there any other programmatically way I can send data back to my serial devices?  ie by pushing custom data somehow into a custom serial widget and sending that?

Yes, you can get data back into the Serial Board. This is done with a Variable Serial Widget. Once you have created this widget you can get messages to serial board from a web page or app. Use the JavaScript API to extend the widget further by using the SerialSetString command.

Code: [Select]

widgetSetString('Q6Vs3RepsH6I','This is my serial message');

I'm using a HTTP GET with the serial API to receive data, I was looking to do something similar for the response data. ie a PUSH or POST with a single URL.

Do you have an example for doing this from an 'app'? eg perl, python or preferably Java
