R-IoT ServerBIT

This can be used to forward the R-IoT's OSC messages to WebSockets. We've also provided some handy tools for setting up your computer's network to work with the device.

For more information for getting started with the R-IoT, please see the guide: R-IoT_User_Guide.pdf

Optional arguments

• "--id": This dictates the OSC reveive address (//raw). change this if using multiple devices
• "--ip": The ip to listen on (usually set to 192.168.1.00)
• "--port": The ip to listen on (usually set to 8888)
• "--ssid": name of the wifi network which R-IoT device is streaming data to

additional arguments can be viewed using the -h flag

If you are using a pre-configured TP-LINK router, you should not need to change these. Otherwise, follow the steps below

Changing the default configuration

This program assumes the default configuration of the device. If these settings are changed, it's required to parse the new settings to the script

Configuration page

To change the default configuration, see R-IoT configuration & setup -> Changing the default configuration in the user guide

Run script with arguments

$ python3 riot_serverBIT.py -ssid 'riot' --ip '192.168.1.100' --port 8888 --id 0

or edit start_win64.bat

"python_win64\python.exe" "riot_serverBIT.py -ssid 'riot' --ip '192.168.1.100' --port 8888 --id 0"

Getting started (threejs example)

1. With router switched on, Turn on the R-IoT device

2. Connct to Wi-Fi network

3. Run riot_serverBIT.py

python3 riot_serverBIT.py

4. Accept auto configuration or run the given command. Re-launch riot_serverBIT if needed

5. Server is now running, open /riot_threejs_example/riot_threejs_example.html (if already open, refresh page)

Windows Commands

Manually set IPv4 address, netmask and gateway:

netsh interface ip set address Wi-Fi static 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

To get back online, reset dhcp (run as admin):

netsh interface ip set address Wi-Fi dhcp

No router? Setting up a direct Wi-Fi connection using Access Point mode

By enabling Access Point mode, you'll be able to connect to the R-IoT's wireless network directly. From here, the sensor data will stream to an OSC server on your device. You can initiate this connection using ServerBIT.
