Own network protocol

[Connor]

Hi,

You can use the TML/SIDEX SDK to setup a server on a Raspberry_Pi. It 
enables peer to peer communcation beased on the Blocks Extensible 
Exchange protocol. The Python interface is easy to use and you can find 
tutorial videos on youtube, how to install it on a raspberry_py.

Search for "How to install TML/SIDEX on Raspberry Pi" on youtube.

The SDK is available on multiple platforms and it is free for personal 
projects.

Cheers,
Connor

It should basically work such that once value (can be either binary or an analog value) has changed on the server, it should send the update to the connected clients. At the same time, it should be possible for the client to send a particular request to the server as well, i.e., switch on LED X.
