Controlling the device from your
computer
We are now going to build the Arduino sketch we will use to control the relay remotely.
This will be based again on the aREST library that will help us handle the request sent
from your computer.
This Arduino sketch starts by including the required libraries as follows:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <aREST.h>
Then, we can create the aREST instance:
// Create aREST instance
aREST rest = aREST();
Then, in the
setup()
function of the sketch, we simply start the serial connection so that
we can access the board later:
void setup(void)
{
// Start Serial
Serial.begin(9600);
}
Next, we can handle the requests coming on the serial port by using the following code:
void loop() {
// Handle REST calls
rest.handle(Serial);
}
