GR-PEACH Special Project: LED Remote Controller

Web Server Part 1

Overview

GR-PEACH can work as a web server. This project introduces an example of operating an LED on the Gadget Renesas GR-PEACH board from a web browser (client-side).

Preparation

You will need a GR-PEACH board, USB cable (Micro B type), LAN cable, and a Micro SD card.

Connect the NTSC signal as follows. There are two of them - NTSC-1A and the GND.

Sample program for LED remote controller

First, save the files "index.htm" and "mbedrpc.js" on the Micro SD. These files are for browser indication.

Right click the following files and execute “save an object in file", for download.

index.htm GR-PEACH LED Remote Controller Sample (HTM)
mbedrpc.js (JS)

After saving, insert the Micro SD into an SD socket on the back side of GR-PEACH and copy the following sketch program in gr_sketch.cpp to build and write them to GR-PEACH.

Operation Check for the LED Remote Controller

Start a serial monitor such as Tera Term after write down to GR-PEACH; then, press the reset button on GR-PEACH. The IP address acquired by DHCP will be shown.
