Problem connecting Vibration V3 to Ubidots

jpny · October 19, 2021, 3:14am

Would the web interface on the Ethernet Modem allow the ODR to be configured? (I only have Macs).

Thanks.

I will recommend node red and use tis flow

Hello everyone,

I’m part of Ubidots’ support team and I thought I’d kick in.

I’m glad that @jpny has now been able to send data to Ubidots. Just to clarify about the STEM accounts (free) limitations, the only two limitations that I can think of that would have affected your data transmission at that moment were request rate (up to 1 request/second) and according to what @Bhaskar said, the payload size (10kb per request). I’m not sure how long is the payload from the sensor, so I can’t confirm on the latter, but I don’t believe this will be the case.

For more information on the STEM account limitations and how they compare to a paid license, please visit this article

Best regards,
Sebastián

If you mean the last tab in the Wireless Gateway config, what do you mean by “I only have Macs.” ?

jpny · October 23, 2021, 12:36am

Apple MacOS computers.

jpny · October 29, 2021, 4:00am

Alrighty. So I now have the ethernet modem, I have it plugged into my network, and I have its IP address. I’ve installed Node Red, and used import, pasting in the Github information you posted and it appeared as Flow 6. I see the “1 Vibration Plus” with 23 “unknown: ui_chart” things attached. Aside from that, I have no idea what to do next, where I would enter an IP or how to change a configuration on the sensor.

Thanks.

Bhaskar · October 29, 2021, 2:39pm

you will need to install node red dashboard.
make sure you have select correct port settings ( in my setup i was using USB modem, so all my settings were for usb modem
make sure you have selected correct sensor mac address

Thanks

jpny · October 30, 2021, 1:17am

Making progress. Dashboard installed, I reimported but I still have “unknown: ncd-gateway-node” twice and “unknown: ncd-wireless-node”. I cannot find any way to edit these in node-red. I tried editing the raw data, but I don’t know the proper syntax for Ethernet. Am I missing some editing field or does the raw data need to be correct before import?

Bhaskar · October 30, 2021, 6:21pm

did you install ncd red wireless library ?

jpny · October 30, 2021, 11:39pm

I had no idea there was such a thing! But I’ve now tried and it failed with the errors pasted below. This is officially way too complicated to change one little setting. I’m stumbling my way through this using homebrew and this is the first time I’ve even heard of node-red much less any clue of how it works. You guys need to find a way to make your hardware way more friendly with MacOS or IOS or expand the settings available by HTTP. I’m sure the vast majority of Mac users wouldn’t even be able to do what I have so far, with moderate familiarity with UNIX. I can’t imagine there’s a lot of overlap between people using sensors and being system administrators.

Any idea how to get past this next hurdle?

node red deos have a learning curve, but once you are passed that you will defiantly like it.
the reason behind building node red lib, is that it works across all platforms.
Are you using command line to install the lib or node red ui ?

jpny · October 31, 2021, 1:07am

I tried the npm method.

jpny · October 31, 2021, 2:30am

Same error doing it from the “manage palette” menu. This seems like a bug.

jpny · October 31, 2021, 4:45pm

Okay, I tried this on a “clean” MacOS Catalina Intel system, with the same exact result. I think there is something wrong with ncd-red-wireless 1.5.48. I installed XCode command line tools, then Homebrew, then “node”, and then Node Red. From the Node Red UI node-red-dashboard installed fine, ncd-red-wireless, no-go. It looks like it is looking for @serialport/binding, in the .node-red/node-modules/ directory and there is no such directory. Here’s the fresh failure log:

@TravisE_NCD_Technica can you share the instruction for the install.

jpny · October 31, 2021, 10:26pm

Sure.

Install XCode Command Line Tools. ‘xcode-select --install’ will trigger the GUI to launch a dialog asking if you want to install the command line tools. That succeeds.
Next, the Homebrew package manager: ’ /bin/bash -c “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)” ’
Then install ‘node’: ‘brew install node’
Next, Node Red: ‘sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red’
Launch ‘node-red’ and open http://127.0.0.1:1880/.
Using Palette Manager, find and install node-red-dashboard. Succeeds.
Using PM, find and install ncd-red-wireless. Fails.

Same result between MacOS 11.6 (Big Sur) and MacOS 10.15.7 (Catalina), with the previous error log.

Try going to the .node-red directory on your computer and install ncd-red-wireless-2. This package is more optimized for later versions of node. ncd-red-wireless is intended for processors which cannot run later versions of Node.

Yay, that worked! Okay, I did add the Ethernet Gateway, and I see the vibration sensor’s MAC address, which it had to have auto-discovered, so that’s promising. One thing, what is “Network ID (0 - 0x7FFF)”? I’m not sure what it is asking for there. Is that just a way to uniquely identify the network?

Next, when I change a setting, how/when does it get applied? Do I need to do anything to send it to the device?

Thanks.

jpny · November 2, 2021, 1:23am

I think I figured it out, but it’s not quite working. I put the sensor in config mode, then change the setting for ODR to 200Hz, and click “deploy.” Then I hit reset on the device. Node Red says “Configuration Acknowledged” but the debug reports back with the 800Hz setting.

Bhaskar · November 2, 2021, 2:23am

did you put the sensor in cfg mode as well ?
once cfg is complete it will come with configuration complete message.
