I hate nodejs but it seems like the best way to control GPIO on a raspberry pi from a webserver

http://webiopi.trouch.com is in python, I remember doing great stuff with it, with custom control panels too, like a remote for an RC car :)

@JoshBent I was trying to get that working earlier but for some reason when I started the server it threw loads of errors at me - just the default server

@j4cobgarby tried searching them? probably missing dependencies, but I think the site had a full tutorial to get everything setup, with all its needed components

@j4cobgarby I think that was the tutorial that was popular back then: https://youtu.be/wGahWkjettw hopefully it still applies as both raspi and webiopi have moved since then

@JoshBent thanks a lot :) I'll certainly have a look at that tomorrow, but I'm going to sleep now
Anyway, I'm not gonna use node- the node_modules folder made me shudder and I deleted it, so I'm probably going to use PHP to call python

I don't see why you'd hate NodeJS but it is a great way of controlling gpio on a raspberry. Look for a library called Johnny five

Eh. I done it with PHP but you're better off doing it with node. Sockets for the win

These are some experiments I did with raspberry pi, GPIO and PHP
