| Nov 6, 2013 at 8:07 | comment | added | Ron Thomas | @ppumkin...The robotic arm that I have is an old OWI-535 non usb type. I controlled it using the RPi GPIO pins via an L293 driver board. For usb type, a complete tutorial with coding is available in MAGPI magazine 2013 July edition.(Issue 14). I am new to PHP and python programming and I'm learning it, and regarding Node.js.....I have no idea about those things. I started with PHP and python, so I thought of completing with it. If you know how to execute python within php, it will be more helpful. Thank you | |

| Nov 5, 2013 at 15:25 | comment | added | Piotr Kula | Related to your question I would suggest you rather use Node.JS instead. Why? node.js can execute the python directly at user level without PHP wrappers and all that junk in between. Node.JS is FAST and lightweight! You will not need PHP at all. Just use HTML markup with jQuery and AJAX calls to node.js. That means you get rid of bulky PHP calls. Code is separated, easier to understand and more secure. I would also suggest using nginx to host the pages as its blazingly fast and designed for embedded devices (although Lighttpd is not bad- At least you are not using Apache!) | |

Grammar and styling

| Nov 5, 2013 at 15:20 | comment | added | Piotr Kula | Hello. Did you bypass the PCB that came with that robot? I also got one but I cannot figure out how to send USB data to it? How did you connect it up. Sorry for no answer I am just interested in how you wired everything up cause I got the USB version of the robot. | |
