Show Selection via Ethernet
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2017 1:55 pm
Greetings!
I came across this project recently and it looks great! It's exciting that it works on a Raspberry Pi! I understand you can select a show via GPIO, but is it possible to select and start a show via Ethernet? I want to write a Python script that watches a GPIO pin and run a show when that input turns on, stop the show when the input turns off (or if the input turns off early) and then start a different show then next time the input turns on. I don't want to select the show via GPIO since the number of shows I'm going to create will exceed the number of available GPIO pins. I *think*, based on viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8542, that I can do this, but I want to be sure I'm correct before proceeding. I could be thinking about this the wrong way, too. I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thank you.
