Hc-sr04 sensor readings to website

[iankillz]

Hello im new to using raspberry pi and i am doing a smart parking project using hcsr04 ultrasonic sensors. I already have the python code working it tells if a space is available or not via sensor. How can I send the sensor readings to a webpage because the website im trying to make will supposed to tell if a sensor/spot is occupied or vaccant?

Maybe run a python flask server on your pi that reads the state of the sensor (you have that already) at regular intervals and returns a web page with data showing the space is occupied or free. Use a template with templateData set accordingly.

I have my website on a separate computer which is written in PHP and uses mysql and wampserver

An alternative would be to use websockets - the pi acts as a server and a page on your webserver can make a connection (with javascript) to the pi websocket server to get the data.

Have a search around and maybe look on github for the documentation for WebSocketNode https://github.com/theturtle32/WebSocke ... 0ce2772ba7.
