Python Interlocks Controller

This project acts as a middle man between a server like OpenCoral and the Utah Nanofab interlock boxes.

Prerequisite:

Requires flask and rocket (pip install flask, pip install rocket)

Usage:

You can start a fake interlock box for testing by running:

python fakeInterlockBox.py  #will listen on port 2101

Then run the service as:

python app.py 127.0.0.1 55009 mySecretPassword

where 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of the lock box and 55009 is the port for the service to listen on for commands.

API:

The service responds to POST commands to control the box. Example:

curl -H 'Accept: application/json' -X POST -u admin:mySecretPassword http://localhost:55009/sense
curl -H 'Accept: application/json' -X POST -u admin:mySecretPassword http://localhost:55009/enable
curl -H 'Accept: application/json' -X POST -u admin:mySecretPassword http://localhost:55009/disable
