I chose to try to control another computer of a completely different CPU architecture remotely, over wi-fi, using a language (Xojo) few people know about on a Mac. To be honest, I've kind of painted myself into a corner. ONE! It's a really good one, but it was written by Xojo and is really just an introduction to the language. The problem with Xojo is you can't just go out and buy a book like you can with Python or C.

Maybe it will spark someone to take pity on me and help with some code snippets.

Please feel free to drop into the conversation mentioned above. Hopefully, I will be able to find some example Xojo socket code that makes some sense to me in this situation. However, It would be ideal if I could find someone else with more experience with these methods who's interested in doing what I'm trying to do a mentor as it were. I will definitely look into the Xojo socket method you mentioned. My biggest challenge right now is that I don't know what I don't know, so I don't know what to ask. I posed this same question on the Xojo forum ( ) and got a whole bunch of different solutions, but nothing quite as close as what you just mentioned. As it stands, I'm thrilled I ran across your efforts.

I kind of knew I was climbing a steep hill in hoping that a relatively obscure language like Xojo would just happen to have a library already compiled for it that does exactly what I want to connect to a completely different computer platform to remotely control it's functions. After all, as I understand it, it's just a console app run as a service, right?

I've been trying to avoid learning Python, but considering the fact that everything has already been built in Python (including the pigpio socket daemon) and I know I can interact with Python in Xojo, I'm guessing I have no choice but to start there until I have enough skill to write my own. I picked up a lot of things about programming and various languages over the past 35 years, but the only meaningful programming I ever did, before about a year ago with Xojo, was with Gfa Basic on my Atari Mega ST. So, it's good news it's possible, but bad news that it's up to me to accomplish it. With my painful lack of experience with programming, it will be quite a while before I can consider attempting to create any kind of daemon from scratch.
