Writing a polled Point to Pachube
-
So I downloaded v1.9 and wanted to try out the pachube feed. I have data collected over modbus and wanted to publish a point to pachube as my "hello world" test.
I created a point link from modbus point to pachube point. That worked. Is that the best practice for doing this under Mango?
-
You can just publish the modbus points directly. You don't need to link them to anything.
-
So in the name field of the panchube point detail, I enter the modbus tag name?
-
Are you using a Pachube data source, or a Pachube publisher? With the former you can get information from Pachube into Mango (although setting values is also supported). With the latter you publish data from Mango to Pachube.
-
Pachube manual feed via put. I tried it without a point link. Works fine.
Thanks
-
I removed all point links. Now when I go back to point links the target point only has two entries in the drop down. I have a lot more than that as per the source point. Any idea why the drop down is populated with only two points?
-
Only points of the same data type are listed.
-
Well I added the point link back since I thought I saw it work without it. I can only make the push to pachube via the point links.
-
Why don't you just use the Pachube publisher?
-
Ok. My bad. I always sand-boxed myself in the data source world. I never used publisher and saw it. No brainer now.
