lightberryAPI + Raspberry Pi Pico W = LAN services hub

Requirements (Microcontroller)

• lightberryAPI v1.2.7 - frozen module
• aht20.py - frozen module
• microHTTP v1.0.0 - frozen module

Features:

• Providing API + serving services data for web ui.
• Logging environment temperature and humidity.
• Serving React based frontend.
• Build in database supporting data sorting and querying.
• Database models serialization.
• Simple cache implementation.
• Checking services accessibility.

How to use it:

1. Build (and flash rpi pico with) MicroPython firmware with modules described in Requirements section.
2. Build and prepare (described in README) web ui.
3. Copy content of web ui dist to /files directory.
4. Create and fill lightberryAPI config.

cp lightberry_config.template.json lightberry_config.json

5. Create and fill database.

cp db.template.json db.json

6. Flash Raspberry Pi Pico with this project files.

Project Goals:

The main goals of the project was to:

• Use lightberryAPI in real case scenario.
• Build low power consumption device I can use to track LAN services.
• Design and 3D print case for device.

Extra

Database tools

• minify db.json

  python3 tools/convert_db.py --db_path ./db.json --minify
  

• de-minify db.json

  python3 tools/convert_db.py --db_path ./db.json
