A simple example of how to use WebSockets with BrightSign

This application runs a node.js server on the BrightSign, and uses a local websocket server.

To run it:

Run the server. For example, on your laptop:

• Install NodeJS
• In the "server" directory:
• Run "npm install"
• Run "node server.js"
• Note the IP address of your laptop
• Edit the following line in index.html to reflect the above IP address instead of 10.0.1.1:

var wsUri = "wss://10.0.1.1:81/";

Configure your BrightSign player:

• Put the files "autorun.brs" and "index.html" on an SD card
• Connect the BrightSign player to the internet, and power it up
• You should see "RESPONSE: Hi, you sent me WebSocket rocks" on the connected display.
