Sample Code - Connect Minion to RPi

[gpcra...@volksdata.com]

I added, on GitHub, a really brief Python script for interfacing a Minion with a Raspberry Pi.  The script simply connects to the Minion and then echoes any data received from the Minion on the console.

Thanks for posting that. That might well be a shortcut for me - I've also got an EVE Alpha which I'd like to be "boss" with the Minions off gathering "stuff" and "phoning home" occasionally. Until I can get that to work then this may well help me get stuff done.

I'm using my Raspberry Pi to route data onto the internet.  I have a small sensor net of JeeNodes all talking back to a Minion which is connected to the Raspberry Pi (using code very similar to the sample I posted).  The RPi makes sense of the data stream and then bundles everything off to a web server.  So far, the Minion acting as the "hub" is working great
