johnlauer/serial-port-json-server
Jan 2014 - Feb 2016
A serial port JSON websocket server for Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or BeagleBone Black that lets you communicate with your serial port from a web application. This enables web apps to be written that can communicate with your local serial device such as an Arduino, CNC controller, or any device that communicates over the serial port.

Arduino Cloud Agent
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:245 commits in 1 year 2 months
Contributions summary:John appears to be focused on the development of the Arduino Cloud Agent. Their commits include the initial setup of the agent, specifically implementing core functionalities like an Ajax server, port listing, and serial communication (send/receive) for Windows. The code changes indicate work on a Go-based backend, interacting with serial ports using the `goserial` library and implementing communication with a websocket via `hub.go`, and the changes to html. The contributions include the handling of command processing and interacting with the hardware.
