Hi,

I currently have a container running made from the image hilschernetpi/netpi-nodered-fieldbus:latest. It has node-red installed and I can perfectly access it. On the other hand, I know that there is a feature in node-red to create projects and one just have to modify the node-red settings file.

So my question is, is there any way I could access that file and modify it in a node-red within netPI?

Thank you in advance.
Regards, Alex

Hello,

how can I start services or commands at the startup of the container. I tried the command field in advanced options, but then the container doesn't start right.

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

as we need to setup some more netPi the question came up if there is a possibility of creating a script which will be automatically executed to setup the netPi.
(e.g. Load the Docker, setup the security, setup the network and so on..)

What's the long-term availability for netPI Core 3 / RTE3?

Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es, netPI als OPC/UA-Client zu betreiben (um z.B. mit einer S7-1500 oder AB zu koppeln)?

Currently I'm working with the Hilscher's netPI (NOIT-E-NPI3-51-EN-RE) to implement a cloud application. Basically, the project it's subdivided in two tasks. The first task is to send data from a OPC UA Server to the netPI. The second task is to send data from netPI to the cloud, in which we are going to develop an app. My questions are the following regarding the netPI device

1.- For retrieving the data from the OPC UA server to netPI, I read that we can use NODE-RED. For using this tool, I wanted to know how to configure the basic flow communication. I mean, there is a bunch of functions based on Java Script that we should program. But is there a guideline to do that? Is there other alternative to set up this communication (i.e. PROFINET).

2.- For communicating netPI to the Cloud I'm considering Microsoft Azure and Web Amazon Services. Which do you recommend based on your previous experience. My purpose is purely academic.

3.- Finally, regarding to my project scope, do you think is really necesary to create a Docker Image from the scratch ? Or maybe is it possible to adapt one of the images on Docker Hub to my requirements?

Hello,

I try to use bluetooth functions in a debian container. For this I used the Image hilschernetpi/netpi-bluetooth and followed the instructions described on this site: https://github.com/Hilscher/netPI-blueto.../README.md.
After I have started the container I can use bluetoothctl, but it doesn't find any devices. With a normal raspberry pi and bluetoothctl I can find all bluetooth devices. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Jonas

If i try to backup an image in the Netpi to my repository i alway instantly get the message image pushed succesfully, but if i check the repository on dockerhub the pushed image does not exist. Pushing from the raspberry is working fine. Is this due to the missing login as described in this topic:
https://www.netiot.com/forum/?tx_typo3fo...4e1028bb99

Is it possible to push without the login by a setting on Dockerhub or is there a way to view the existing images in the docker build environment and push it from there?

Thanks in advance
Sebastian

Hi

I purchased a netPI device, NIOT-E-NPI3-51-EN-RE.

How can I:

1) Set up this device as an EtherCAT slave?
2) Write / read to an internal buffer via EtherCAT?
3) Have an internal server permit data exchange with EtherCAT buffer via a client on the standard Ethernet interface?
4) Generate a slave information file (ESI) for this

Thank you and best regards,
Scott

Hi there,

I have a question regarding the uninterrupted power supply (UPS). As of my understanding, the netPi doesn't come with a UPS. Is it possible to add a UPS to the netPi? We need the system to be able to safely shutdown when there is an (un)intended power loss.

Thanks in advance!

Thomas
