Hi I have some sensors I want to address sensors via i2c and make the data visible in a browser. The site will only be used in a local website. So that the user in the network can type in an ip adress and will be presented with the data.
First question will a rapberry zero 2 w be capable to handle that. It's a really basic website with 9 data values
Second how can I do it that my Raspberry shows up as a website in my network?
For a really low-effort, bare-bones approach you could do it with a few lines of Python.
Python as installed in RasPiOS has a ready-to-run webserver template.
Code:
python -m http.serverSo you could visit a URL like http://localhost:8000/sensor_stats.txt and it might return a webpage with the content of a simple text file, like this -
Code:
Last sensor update at 2024-08-23 18:18:55.448791 Sensor #0: 11 Sensor #1: 15 Sensor #2: 7 Sensor #3: 48 Sensor #4: 54 Sensor #5: 46 Sensor #6: 25 Sensor #7: 17 Sensor #8: 20 Code:
from datetime import datetimefrom random import randintresults = "sensor_stats.txt"with open(results, 'w') as file: file.write(f'Last sensor update at {datetime.now()} \n') for _i in range(9): file.write(f'Sensor #{_i}: {randint(0, 64)} \n')Code:
Last sensor update at 2024-08-23 18:27:46.492728 Sensor #0: 20 Sensor #1: 8 Sensor #2: 16 Sensor #3: 48 Sensor #4: 4 Sensor #5: 48 Sensor #6: 9 Sensor #7: 43 Sensor #8: 7 Not the least bit sophisticated, but maybe it would do the job...
