Hi Roberto,

Mango can read from an external database using the SQL data source. Out of the box it can connect to a MySQL database, but others can be implemented by finding the appropriate driver (usually just a jar file that you can add to WEB-INF/lib).

If you are on a Windows platform, it is possible to use an ODBC/JDBC driver to connect Mango to and ODBC data source. In Windows you can then set up various things - like flat files, Excel spreadsheets, Access databases - as your ODBC sources. Might be worth a try. By finding the appropriate drivers (which are typically easy to find), you can also connect Mango directly to Oracle, MS SQL Server, Postgres, etc.

Your alternative to having a database intermediary is to connect directly to your A/D converter processing board, assuming it supports some communications protocol like Modbus, BACNet, 1-wire, etc. Do you know?

Once you've decided on a connectivity strategy, i can help you with the details.

Hi Craig,

No, the device id currently does not have any other purpose than to check against the white list. If you have multiple devices of the same type which all deliver the same information (multiple wind sensors for example), you can create separate HTTP receiver data sources for each, and be able to segregate their data using the device id.

That is likely related to something else. Please try again and see if they appear now. If not, please make note of the icon URL.

Hi,

If you have recently updated your Mango M2M installation, be sure that you followed all of the upgrade instructions on the [url=http://mango.serotoninsoftware.com/download.jsp]download page. In particular, check that you have properly installed the RXTX libraries that have replaced JavaComm.

Please note that the installation of RXTX is required when updating to this release. Please see the installation notes for this package on the [url=/download.jsp]download page.

Glad to hear. Thanks for the feedback Radek.

Thanks
