This week I started The hardware emulator. I decided to use Django, a python framework, because Niko is building the interaction layer in python and integration might be simpler if we use the same language.
For the emulator, I plan on first getting a basic webapp with data models up and running and then working on the library that Niko will use in his interaction layer nodes. Once these two are talking, I want to implement the full communication API. I found a REST framework that works with Django and I think I might use that. I’m debating whether or not to actually have a frontend or to use the Django admin page that Django provides as a means to view the data. For now I’m going to use the admin page.
