Short Bus

Any suggestions on how to get an arduino onto this bus? --Hef (talk) 11:02, 12 October 2014 (CDT)

Messages from devices such as arduinos could use MQTT protocol there is even an arduino lib: http://knolleary.net/arduino-client-for-mqtt/ Interesting article about bridging messages from a ZigBee mesh into MQTT: http://rijware.com/zigbee-and-mqtt/

It looks like zmq is taking off, which means we are going to abandon our arduinos for now.

IT's just well, ethernet adaptors for arduinos tend to cost more thant he BBB or rpi.

The RFID doors are written in go, so existing python code is not terribly useful.

Currently, they are capable of publishing zmq messages on most events, like rfid scan, door lock/unlock.

What should be the spec for the broker to communicate with the doors?
