coap-console 0.0.2

CoAP client for interactive with remote serial input and output

This Python package provides access to resources that implement the tag:riot-os.org,2021:ser-out / tag:riot-os.org,2021:ser-in interfaces over CoAP. Those resources can be used to provide log output or interactive shell access to CoAP servers (not only) on embedded systems.

It is mainly used together with the coap-scroll-ring-server Rust crate which implements the server side, for example as used in the stdio example on RIOT OS.

It can be run directly from the source repository by running:

$ ./coap-console 'coap://[2001:db8::1]'

(which discovers a stdout resource or stdin-/out pair of resources on the given IP address)

or ran directly from git:

$ pipx run --spec "git+https://gitlab.com/chrysn/scroll-ring#egg=coap_console&subdirectory=coap-scroll-ring-server/tools/coap_console" coap-console 'coap://[2001:db8::1]'

or installed and run using:

$ pip install coap_console
$ coap-console 'coap://[2001:db8::1]'

(or ran directly from pip, or installed from git, by combinations thereof)
