Issues when hosting #8

Open AdamPrendergast opened 11 years ago

I'm trying to host a simple noduino led on/off project on nodjitsu.

Serialport is creating a number of issues and not installing. Have you successfully hosted a project without this issue?

I'm new to arduino but I was under the impression that node had to be running on the same machine the arduino is connected to. Otherwise, how would node be sending and receiving data?

You are completely right. In all the excitement I thought this could all be don't magically over the Internet. Obviously browsers would never allow for serialport comms.

I have managed to get it to work by utilising the a custom Cosm api. Noduino running locally subscribes to the feed and watches for changes that are triggered by a web based interface.
