EzCom2Web 3.0 - lightweight HTTP server and server side script engine for serial communications
EzCom2Web is a lightweight HTTP server and a script engine (like PHP or ASP) in
one application . It's main strength is support for serial port communications making it a great
tool to control a device connected on a remote PC serial port with only a web browser. Home
automation boxes, video switchers, mp3 players, ham radios, mobile phones / modems ( send,
receive SMS ), video cameras, in fact any device with a serial port and known communication
protocol can be handled from remote through a web browser.
You can build a complete nice looking web interface for your RS232 device writing html
and script code. Script language syntax is Basic like, very easy to learn and write. The script
code is executed by the internal script engine, there is no need to call another script engine,
however other script engines (as PHP ) can be used for specific jobs like database handling;
data can be passed easy between scripts.
A complete web RS232 terminal example is included, which is a single file with
less than 200 lines !
A second example expands the web serial terminal implementing a web SMS
interface which can be used to handle SMS using a remote GSM mobile phone, modem
or terminal.
