Don't worry. Sure you are faster than my C++ skills

In Mango the library for ModbusIP is same as for serial. It's a different data source though.

Maybe this helps:

Hello Craig,

for information,

actually I understand now why I had a difficulty here.

In a meta data source, when I create a new numerical point "example", "example" is not available in the script context.
Even if I save it, open an other point for edition and come back to "example" to edit it, it is still not available in the script context. Saving the data source doesn't help.

I am forced to close the meta datasource, to reopen it for edition and then only when I edit the newly created point "example" (or any other point), "example" is available in the script context.

... just an update... been playing around and can now connect to the opc server.... but its only showing tags in the default container 'SystemVariables' and not my tags present in my group containers...??

Yes, you must explicitly call super for the serialization to work properly.

The JsonReader provide access to some useful utilities that you may or may not need. Some code needs it, so it's there.

That's it!

I put my own .png gauge image in a separeted folder and its custom pointer using dial example in view.js, it works well.

Thank you!

Did you ever want to display feed from Yahoo Pipes?

In my case, i show a Google Map of a vehicle's position in relative realtime
The reason for this is that i am monitoring a bunch of data being relayed from a truck and wanted to display its position in realtime, on a map in the same webpage.

Yahoo Pipes handles the KML data from my GPS Tracking Software, providing a live feed.

I imagine you can display any Yahoo Pipes feed, its just i use the KML feature.

this is a demo link i put up for all to see:
http://limcoco.dyndns.org:9090/public_view.htm?viewId=4

if you'd like to know more, just let me know and i'll post some sample code.

Ps. remember please that i'm a bit of a novice, and there is probably a much simpler way of achieving what i've done here. :-)

Just a little post in case anyone is interested. The Ted 5000 monitors power coming in to your home via both phase wires. It comes with a web server which you can easily point Mango to and exact values from the device.

I created a data source of a HTTP Retriever, then set the URL to http://ted5000/api/LiveData.xml. You can set the update period to whatever you want.

You can then add your points. Here is an example:
To monitor the current power draw:
Data Type: Numeric
Value RegEx: <CostNow>(.*?)</CostNow>

That should do it!

and how does it work?
whats the script term?
may anyone help me pls :)

it must be multistate var b = p46.value + p47.value; return b;

does not work, because..
1000 = 10
0010 = 10
:/
mango think the figueres are dezimal not bitwise

I am successfully pushing data out to Pachube from Mango. Thanks for the tutorial above it was a BIG help. Pachube documentation is lacking or hard to find. Go to www.pachube.com and type in "Mikes House" in the search field and you will see me on the map. Double click the push pin and you will find my first few feeds. More to come. I gave Mango a little plug there as well.

You would need a custom data source to get this done. Serotonin can do custom work, and other users can also built their own data sources.

click on "data sources"
click on "show points"
click on "point properties" for the point you want to change

in the Point properties
change Engineering units to what you want

in the Text renderer properties

format "00.0" will give 1 decimal place
suffix "&de-g;C" will give °C, remove the - to make it work

Can you try keeping a DS/DP that has info that looks like this:

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/json/init.py", line 267, in load
parse_constant=parse_constant, **kw)

Because of the way that the Pachube API works a request is made every time a published point is updated. If you are publishing, say, 3 points, and your data source updates them every 10 seconds, you will end up making 30 requests a minute. If you are exceeding your limits there, you should reduce the amount of updates coming from your data source.

Hi all

I have found a work around - not sure why this works but it does

Mango runs as root and when I run the command

find /usr/local/tomcat/logs/ -type f -name * -mtime +5 -exec rm -f {} ;

I get the error mentioned

but when I run it as my user ("francis")

sudo -u francis find /usr/local/tomcat/logs/ -type f -name * -mtime +5 -exec rm -f {} ;

then this works

it must be something to do with privileges etc - but I do not know why

Francis

i found a csv file that had the same data
With the trick you showed me i get the data from that file.

thx for pushing me t he right direction.

I solved the problem, Now I can send sms using an external app...thanks for your help!!!

On my Unbuntu system it is directly under the Tomcat directory.

Joel.
