Web interface + API for RS232 controlled device
Web interface + API for RS232 controlled device
A Raspberry Pi Pico with hardwired Ethernet seems like the perfect platform to add web APIs to serial controlled devices. I have a TV which has an RS-232 control interface for power on, changing inputs, etc. A low-power Ethernet-serial bridge device would be ideal to make that interface more usable.
Hackaday?made a post?that mentioned WIZnet was?running a contest?to demonstrate products that add hardwired Ethernet to Raspberry Pi Pico boards. The WIZnet?W5100S-EVB-Pico
?is a Raspberry Pi Pico clone with hardwired Ethernet built right into the board. After learning that this product existed, I realized this was an excellent fit for making a web API for the serial interface on my TV.?This repository?represents?my entry into the WIZnet Ethernet HAT Contest.
