Brick Viewer and Daemon

PreviousHardware KitNextConnect to the Devices

Last updated 4 years ago

To work with Tinkerforge devices on our laptop, we need to install two small programs:

  • from Tinkerforge

  • from Tinkerforge

Please install both software pieces on your computer. You will need the Brick Daemon to connect to devices. The Brick Viewer is a handy tool for testing and debugging.

Configure Web Sockets

To work with Tinkerforge devices on websites, as we intend to do in this course, we need to enable web sockets for the Brick Daemon. For this, we must locate the configuration file of the Brick Daemon, change one line, save, and then restart the Brick Daemon service. Follow the instructions on the Tinkerforge documentation website:
