WoT-microcontroller-servient is an implementation of W3C Web of Things Servient for embedded systems. This module allows users to: define W3C WoT Thing Descriptions, generate scripting files (sketches) in Embedded-C programming language executable by microcontrollers to expose Things, compile and flash these sketches.
This module provides an Electron-made GUI for WoT-microcontroller-servient project by Daniele Rossi. User can provide all the metadata included in W3C WoT Thing Descriptions via forms on GUI and store them in a JSON Thing Description file. The project can also build a scripting file including the Thing logic. This scripting file is compiled and flashed into a microcontroller. The sketch has .ino extension (like Arduino IDE). This project can also compile the built .ino project and upload to the prototipying board, calling the Servient Builder and showing it to a built-in terminal.
The only supported embedded system is Espressif ESP32 (an extra compatibility support is provided for NodeMCU ESP8266)
This package is only supported by Linux systems.
