Web Server / Web Services

Question

Hi,

Is their a way to control the EZ-Robot via web services? They're some references to a web server in the forums and in the marketing material but I'd like to know where I can find out some more specific information.

Can the EZR connect to a wifi network and host it's own webserver (with or without a host computer) and then other computers control the EZR via web services.

Thanks,

Martin

Ez-b has the ability to be connected to http server so the ez-b can be connected to one computer and is capable of being controlled via another computer connection, most op for using embedded computing in this application.

Yup You can do all of those things. And you can also connect via TCP as a webservice to the console. Look at this tutorial and watch the video for client server on this page: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=171 That will explain a bit about the console server. As for the HTTP connection, the above response covers that

Hello everyone, Does anyone know the syntax for a http command to EZB throught web server. For now the only thing I got is to have a shortcut on my iphone to connect directly with proper identification so I just have to open the bookmark to be logged in. However I'd like to do something as below : https://IP_Address:port/login?password="""""&command such as set(1.D8, on) Any clue ?

You can start with this: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=48 And when you connect to it, there is a Script Interface option in the menu. You will see it when you connect to the HTTP via web browser. There are instructions within that Script Interface to send EZ-Script commands over HTTP. Off the top of my head I forget what the syntax is, but you have it close. It's something just like you posted...

Replace IPAddress for the IP and PORT for the port. Also change admin to the username you choose. Script commands
https://IPAddress:PORT//exec?password=admin&script=command

Replace command for the EZ-Script command i.e. Set(D0, On) or Servo(D5,78) Movement Panel
https://IPAddress:PORT/movement?password=admin&direction=direction

Replace direction for the direction i.e. forward, reverse, left, right, stop.
