I am trying to make a simple controller that can be controlled over net (mobile/browser) .

As per suggestions, I would like to use a simple TCP server. I am pretty much a newb with Lua, so pointers would be appreciated!

Right now, I have managed to get it working from Putty, but after one command, the connection seems to close. The next stage would be to make a simple android button/widget for it.

This is what I have - how can I have some kind of basic access control(user/pass?)

Code: Select all     outpin=4
   gpio.mode(outpin,gpio.OUTPUT)
    srv=net.createServer(net.TCP)
   srv:listen(4040,function(conn)
          conn:on("receive",function(conn,payload)
          print(payload)
if string.find(payload,"ON") then
   gpio.write(outpin,gpio.HIGH)
   conn:send(gpio.read(outpin))
   conn:send("Is it On?\n")
   elseif string.find(payload,"OFF") then
   gpio.write(outpin,gpio.LOW)
   conn:send(gpio.read(outpin))
   conn:send("Is it Off?\n")
end
   end)
    end)




Also, what is the suggested editor for LUa? I am using wordpad now, and it's a bit tedious.

Regards
