I have a board on my Watson IoT dashboard, which I use to monitor temperature real-time with a line graphic.
I have a second dashboard with a different organisation, and I want to import the graphic which is in the board in the first dashboard, without making again the same graphic.
I've already tried that solution and, even if possibile, it wouldn't be efficent. I mean, I already have the data on IoT why sending from IoT to Iot?
So, can i display on, let's call it... dashboard2, the board with the temperature (or any other property) which is in dashboard1 without sending or duplicate data on dashboard2?
If so, how can i do that? It's almost a week that I'm searching, and I start to doubt that something like this actually exists...

I am using grafana to visualize some data from my InfluxDB-database, that collects data from some sensors. That said, it's the first time for my working with both grafana and InfluxDB, also I'm pretty new to coding so my knowledge is very limited.
As I scroll through threads and forums on the web trying to find guidance, I find a lot of tutorials mostly 2-4 years old that seem to use features in grafana that are simply not available vor me.
For example I tried to set an alert which tells me when my sensor is delivering flawed values (values that I my case cannot physically be true) too often. But when I'm using avg() from the classic condition operations, I can't select a time frame in which I want the average value monitored.
My expression part of the alert settings
Is it a problem that has to be configured via grafana.ini? Is it because these features cannot be used with InfluxDB?
For some background information, I'm using a Ubuntu Server via VirtualBox to run both the database and the grafana server. I'm using a little python script to distribute the sensor data into the database.
If someone could help me out soon that would be great!
So the title sounds stupid. I'm not really sure how to really word it, but I want someone to help guide me on what to look for. Little back story first so I'm working on a Raspberry Pi project that involves using an LTE service currently I have a dashboard running on a AWS EC2 web server with a simple user working user login.
I have a raspberry pi that is directly pointed to the dashboard/account via an IP address. I want to know how to do something like giving a device an ID and having it connect to an account. So for example with Nest products you have the QR code on the camera you take a photo and that devices get applied to your account.
Is this even possible with Raspberry Pi(I'm sure anything possible, but is it feasible? If so what should I look into or learn how to do such thing. I know its not something that can be answered in a short paragraph just looking for some guidance.
Right, thanks. Well, I think you need to program this into the pi server app. So currently your Pi is reading a sensor and sending this data to the web server, right? I suppose you have a daemon running, taking readings, and doing an API REST call to the server backend, correct? So what you want is to have a unique code for each pi, sent with the API call, and then on your DB server side,you store all readings related to their unique code.
You don't need to pre-validate this code, there are GUID generators that will create a number for you, guaranteed to be unique for all eternity, so on the PI, you set it up once, to create the PI's code, and use it from then on. Now, server side, then associating a device with a user is a matter of choosing the data associated with a given gui. And I think that covers it.
You can improve on this basic idea by giving it more thought, but I think it's a good starting point! Do let me know if I can help you with anything else!
To present my question I will simplify my example.
I will connect a sprocket on a step motor and measure acceleration with an accelerometer. The data will be captured by using either an Arduino or Raspberry pi sensor setup. The measurements will then be stored in a cloud-based environment or somehow similar and be send to the CAD model (that's the idea).
Basically what I would like to achieve is to:
connect the movement of the step motor with the SW/CATIA/AutoCAD model (if the physical sprocket is spinning, so is the one in the CAD model),
in case that the measurements identify a problem in the assembly, the critical/weak component would be somehow highlighted inside the CAD model.
Has anyone an idea how this could be done or if it is even possible?
I think is definitely possible (and quite easy) in CATIA (which is the only one I know).
CATIA has COM Automation exposed (i.e. you can interact with it like you do with MS Office apps) and naturally you would to it writing VBA project in the same fashion .
But VBA projects have a lot of limitations, and I think it would be almost impossible to have a background, constantly running process such as the one you describe.
If you switch to Python, you'll be able to:
access all python functionalities, in the scope you describe I think you'll have endless possibilities in getting data from a sensor and handle them, then send to the CAD.
run the script whenever you want, totally independently from VBA editor and CATIA macro related stuff. It will just send commands to CATIA and it will instantly execute.
have everything in real time, because if you enable Automatic Update in CATIA, each command sent via COM will be immediately executed and the Part or Product updated accordingly
I already translated a complex project from VBA to Python with success, it interacts seamlessly with CATIA and Excel at the same time and transfer data between them.
It is definitely possible, look what has already been done with Solidworks and MS Kinect.
All you need to do is identify the component that you want to affect, calculate new transform based on your sensor input and assign that transform to the component.
To highlight you can either change color of the body or use built it Highlight method.
That being said I wouldn't recommend this as your first Solidworks project.
I´m going to create a web service for learning purposes and wanted to combine it with my WoW Hobby. My goal would be to create a "simple" Addon, which tracks my battleground activity in real time.
So when queuing for AB it enters my data in an db and when I´m out of the BG it should delete the db entry. The information should be stored in an JSON/XML-File and whenever the bg-status changes it should execute the post/update on the DB on the RESTful service.
The real time communication is very important here and I would like to know which ways of communicating to a web service are available, so I could directly dive in and create a solution.I´d like to have resources instead of solutions.
Currently I´m not used to LUA, but would like to learn it to get the knowledge of creating such a service.Which sites are you suggesting for learning LUA, especially the WoW-API?
Addons only write to disk when you log out of a character (and read that saved data when you log in) so what you intend would not be possible.*
More involved ways of communicating with the rest of the computer or even the internet are prohibited to prevent the gain of certain advantages, an example would be looking up details about your Arena opponents.
* Well, there are certainly some ways, but rather complicated ones: a program monitoring sound output to check when the BG queue pop sound is played, or a screengrabber that registers when the BG score screen comes up (which can be viewed during the match though, too)
I am trying to connect two Arduino Yun boards to each other via WIFI (make one board control a pin on the other board an vice versa) and I am having trouble making it work the way I want to.
This is where I've gotten so far:
I have two Arduino Yun boards with a simple sketch installed on each, which works fine as long as I keep the "connecting-each-other"-part out of it. It uses a potentiometer on the analog port, reads its value, maps it to the range of 0-255 an fades a LED up or down on one of the digital pins (brighter / darker) depending on the given value. Now I want to use the potentionmeter of one board to control the LED on the OTHER board.
To do that, I tried to use the REST API. I combined my sketch with the code from the "Bridge" Example Sketch, which sets up a http-client/server on the Arduino Yun (on the Linux part) allowing it to receive requests to control and read patricular pins via http.
When using the specific URL for the REST API in a browser, it works fine. For example: when I type "http://myarduino.local/arduino/digital/3/1" it sets the value of digital pin 3 to 1 (i.e. LED is switched on) --> so that's all fine
I am not sure how to continue at this point, since I dont want to control the board from a browser or app but make one Arduino Yun control another Arduino Yun directly. If I put a http request in my sketch like mentioned above via client.get and client.read (as in the example sketch) it does not work. See example code below. It doesnt have any effect nor does anything appear in the serial monitor (with the original URL "http://arduino.cc/asciilogo.txt" like in the example, the ascii code appears in the serial monitor)
HttpClient webclient;
webclient.get("http://ardu1.local/digital/3/1");
while (webclient.available()) {
char c = webclient.read();
Serial.print(c);
}
Serial.flush();
I am a beginner with Arduino Yun boards and maybe I am missing something?
Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction. Or if you need more information to help me with this problem, please let me know.
I found another way to connect two Arduino Yun boards directly, or as close to "directly" as it probably gets. The REST API was not the right way to go. So this is for anyone who might encounter the same "problem":
After some research I came across "Spacebrew". It's based on "websockets" and requires a server to connect the boards to each other, but it is very flexible. It's also fairly easy to setup a spacebrew server locally. It allows every client (like a Arduino Yun board) connected to the server to publish different types of data (boolean, range, value) and/or to subscribe to the published data from other devices using a simple webinterface. The good thing is, that the connection is fast and there's no waiting for the connection to be reestablished when there is data to be sent.
I used the Arduino Example Sketch "spacebrewRange" and it worked fine for me.
It also requires a few other things before it can work, but its explained on the website and in a tutorial:
http://docs.spacebrew.cc/gettingstarted/
http://de.slideshare.net/julioterra/spacebrew-server-workshop-itp
Trying to do the same, it seems, and for me it works (this bit at least :-|
I let one arduino request the URL "http://router.domain:port/arduino/key/value", using a Process which runs cURL. The receiving arduino interprets this request to set the key to the value, using a YunClient.
From the URLs in your question, it seems that you are missing the mandatory "/arduino/" component in the path name. As far as I know, this is needed to direct any requests directed at the OpenWRT stack to the arduino/Leonardo part.
