Thanks again Fenderman - here's the approach I'm shooting for:
- User triggers DIO bit 1 via BI mobile app by clicking on lightning bolt
- 'Dummy camera' is triggered from said DIO bit in step #1
- Alert for camera from step #2 triggers a HTTP POST command to arduino or similar
- Arduino receives POST command and (does stuff) ...specifically, a local GPIO event.
The goal is GPIO over TCP/IP & HTTP without a seadac.
Here's my setup:
Step #2, camera is triggered when it 'sees' DIO bit 1 trigger from BI app (this is the part that doesn't work):
Step #3, trigger from step #2 executes HTTP POST:
*Note that when I manually trigger this camera via BI mgmt console (external), I am able to see a red dot next to DIO bit #2 within the BI app.
Environment variables:
Here I have a USB to serial converter plugged into the server. It isn't connected to anything RS232-side, nor do I intend do connect it because I will be using HTTP POST. It seems BI needs this plugged into the server anyway to avoid a 'cannot connect to COM3' error on boot, though.
COM3 vitals are normal:
