RS232 extension - MGharat - June-12th-2019

Hi,

I am trying with RS232 extension module , but the container image is not getting deployed..

How we can know, if the RS232 connector is properly detected during boot by netPI? NO LED glows on extension module...

Hi,

please check your netPI software version if you use V1.1.5.0 or earlier versions. Please use V1.1.6.0, this version has a prolonged timeout value in case downloading containers from web takes too long sometimes.

Best Regards
Patrick

Hi Madhumati,

the leds on RS232 module are custom NPIX leds. You can switch on/off the NPIX led's with our "npix leds" Node-RED node.
This node is included in the "hilschernetpi/netpi-nodered-npix-leds" image.

Today we will release the "hilschernetpi/netpi-nodered" image. This includes all of our Node-RED nodes like "npix leds" and "serial rs232". The Modbus node will also be included.
I will keep you up to date if we have released this image.


UPDATE (2019-06-13):
The "hilschernetpi/netpi-nodered" image is now released.
