Victor Palau created a very nice blog post around the PiGlow. With his permission we are reproducing it here.
My first steps into snappifying, I have publish a RestApi for PiGlow (glowapi 0.1.2). I though it might be a good first step and mildly useful for people wanting to set up build notifications, twitter mentions, whatever you fancy!
You can find it in the webdm store…
Code is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~vtuson/+junk/glowapi
And here is how it works:
PiGlow Api exposes PiGlow in your board port 8000, so you can easy accessing by POST in port 8000.
remeber to do the hardware assign, something like: sudo snappy hw-assign glowapi.vtuson /dev/i2c-1
