Hi Devices and Sensors WG member, I am working to make board computers convenient to use from web browsers mainly for STEM training materials as a member of open source communities. I imagine that our activities described below may be related to this Devices and Sensors WG. I'm happy if I have the opportunity to exchange opinions with you at TPAC 2019. For several years, Browsers and Robotics Community Group at W3C is studying specifications that allow the board computer's pins (GPIO and I2C, SPI in the future) to be operated directly from browsers, named WebGPIO*1 and WebI2C*1. While rough referencing webMIDI etc. *1: https://github.com/browserobo/WebGPIO *2: https://github.com/browserobo/WebI2C And, CHIRIMEN community (outside W3C) is implementing these specifications and building training materials that package it. There are implementations for Raspberry Pi3*3, micro:bit*4, and mbed*5 board computers. For Raspberry Pi3, webApps running on browsers on the Raspberry Pi3 controls the pins directly, while for the others, browsers connected via web Bluetooth controls the pins on the board computers. *3: https://github.com/chirimen-oh/chirimen-raspi3 *4: https://github.com/chirimen-oh/chirimen-micro-bit *5: https://github.com/chirimen-oh/chirimen-TY51822r3 This training materials are also used in multiple activities to train young engineers related to IoT. Regards Satoru Takagi AC Rep. KDDI
