Hi guys

We have some robots in our lab running Zyre to discover each other and exchange 
data, which works great. Most of them use the C implementation and some use 
Pyre (Python binding). We would like to add a “web interface” to our lab which 
shows all available robots in the browser and give a user the ability to 
introspect the robots, get a live feed of its camera or laser scan data and 
send some basic commands.

How could we combine this best with Zyre? The webpage would be HTML5 / 
Javascript and we would use JSON to serialise and model the data.
I’ve noticed that there is a Node.js binding for ZeroMQ but not for Zyre (the 
node_zyre project [1] we found, does not seem to work, i.e. is still very 
experimental and not maintained anymore?).

Is the best solution to run a C proxy with a Zyre node connecting to the robots 
and Router socket connecting to a Node.js running the javascript code or is 
this an unnecessary indirection? Alternatively we are thinking to run Pyre on 
the webserver and use Python instead of Node.js.

Any expertise and advice from you on this front is more than welcome :-)


Johan
