TCP/IP+ Geolocalization

[Rahul_T_]

Hello there fellow developers. I want to make a simple app that connects to a microcontroller running a TCP/IP server and access point. Then i would like to send data from phone to server to trigger pins and events on mcu. I realise this may be possible with iot version of xdk but I dont have any experience coding. I would also like to send gps location from phone to mcu, using NMEA protocol. Can anyone help me with this project?

Hello,

ioT version will make it easier. Here is the guide for getting started.

You can definitely refer to some of the templates and samples from here.

Thank you for the prompt reply. 

First, I must add that I do not own an intel iot board. I have other mcu so can I still develop the app?

Basically, the html5 app would read smartphone gps data and push it to local server. Also, possibly integrate two buttons that trigger pins HIGH on mcu. moreover, can this be achieved without internet access?? For example. MCU creates a wifi access point, and local server, smartphone connects to AP, app connects to local server via dedicated ip and port. this is possible in lua script which creates an html page and takes get requests. Im trying to program mcu using arduino ide to set up server etc and make a standalone app that triggers actions.

Hello,

Intel XDK is compatible with Edison and Galileo boards.Edison comes with builtin wifi. You can attach external wifi antennas with galileo boards.
