Mailbox support

[ffissore]

Mailbox features are currently usable only from the Arduino side, neither the REST api nor the bridgeclient.py module make it available

[ffissore]

Also update the documentation, since 128 is not the max value but rather the default value. This should be a separate issue, but it should also be opened AFTER this one gets fixed

[Fede85]

The following two pull requests add the support to add messages to the AVR incoming queue from the the REST api from URL formatted like "http://arduino.local/mailbox/messageToBeAddedToTheQueue":

Linino: arduino/linino#25
YunWebUI: arduino/YunWebUI#4

Anything new regarding Mailbox in python bridge?

[tigoe]

It appears to be working after the last patches Federico applied, from what I can see.

As I can there are two changes in index.lua and httpd.conf. Can I just overwrite this two files and mailbox.py will work?

[ffissore]

Yes

Updated 2 files, reboot arduino and run my python code. On import statement i get error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "code.py", line 7, in
from mailbox import Mailbox as mailbox
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/bridge/mailbox.py", line 32, in
json_server = TCPJSONServer('127.0.0.1', 5700)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/bridge/tcp.py", line 158, in init
TCPServer.init(self, port, address)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/bridge/tcp.py", line 85, in init

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/bridge/utils.py", line 38, in try_bind

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth
return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.error: [Errno 125] Address already in use

It looks like mailbox.py tries to open tcp server on port 5700, although it is already opened.

What's "code.py" ? Mailbox is intended to be used by Bridge as a part of it, not to be embedded into other python programs. Bridgeclient is missing that feature. I'll track the feature with an issue and make it implemented

[gregoriusus]

Oh, I see. code.py is my code. I thought that I need to import it. Basically bridge client will have this method implemented?. Will wait for implementation and test it then.

[ffissore]

Yes we are working on extending bridgeclient.
