| Blazor allows both client and server to be programmed almost entirely in C#. The [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.device.gpio|System.Devices.Gpio]] namespace provides just about everything one would need to do IO on the ComfilePi. Blazor also includes support for real-time web applications that can be viewed and interacted with from multiple local or remote clients. | |
| |
| The following video demonstrates a project running on the ComfilePi, controlling a [[:cpio:cp-io22-a4-2:index|CP-IO22-A4-2]] IO board (mounted on the rear of the ComfilePi). The application, running on the ComfilePi to the right can be viewed and interacted with from the ComfilePi itself, a development PC, or even a smartphone, in real-time. | |
