If these permissions are not set then the app will not work. The second permission is for Server Modules (code which shall be running on the Raspberry Pi 4) to create search and delete data from the table. The first enables forms (what Anvil uses as the visible web interface) to read and search data in the table. The table will need two permissions to be set. To add column headings and the type of data which is stored in the rows, we need to click on a column heading (+) and add the headings and types. To name our table we need to click on the plus (+) sign at the top of the table and then name the table pi4server. Go ahead and add a table as per the GIF below. No I don't mean that you will be waited on with food and drinks! In the Services menu there is an option to add a table to store data. Rather than name our project 'material design 4' we can change the name rather easily to something much more relevant. If you don't have an account, sign up! It is totally free and the free tier is plenty for this project.Ĭhoose the Material Design theme, as it is easy to work with. Head over to the Anvil website and click on the orange BUILD> button to start. WOW! For this project you will need:Ī computer to write the Anvil code (if you are using a Pi4 then you can use that!) Setting up your Anvil account CPU utilisation (how hard it is working)Īll of this is written in Python, the web app and the server code that will run on our Pi.So what are we building?įor this Friday (ahem I'm writing this on a Sunday) project we are building a web app that will monitor and graph data from a running Raspberry Pi 4. I've not done a Friday fun project for a while.so this is a big one! Get a beverage and prepare to write your own web app in Python.
