Ke hana ʻana i kahi pahu Node-RED

Hoʻopili kēia alakaʻi i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kahi pahu Node-RED ma Pixsys WebPanel “WP” and TouchController “TC” series.
Displaying the Node-RED dashboard on the screen is possible only on WP – WebPanel devices and on TC – TouchController panels with the “WebVisu” license only. On TouchController – TC panels with a “TargetVisu” or “TargetVisu + WebVisu” license, it is not possible to display the Node-RED dashboard.

Access the device in configuration mode by holding down the STOP button that appears at startup.
E kiʻi i ka console hoʻonohonoho ma ke komo ʻana i kēia mau hōʻoia:

inoa hoʻohana: mea hoʻohana
Hua huna: 123456

If the device IP is known, it is also possible, and recommended, to access the configuration console from a browser on the user’s PC by accessing the address: https://device-IP-.9443/ a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hōʻoia i luna.

Ke hana nei i ka waihona no Node-RED

Pono ka pahu e ho'ā ai i kahi e mālama ai i ka ʻikepili mea hoʻohana.
For this purpose, in the devices, there is a folder /data/user.
Using WinScp or another sFTP access software, create a folder node-red within the path /data/user, following the steps below:

  • Open WinSCP, connect to the device using the IP and credentials already used to access the configuration console, and choose /data/userPixsys Web Panel Touch Controller Software - Creating the folder for Node-RED
  • From the Menu “New” select the option “Directory…”.Pixsys Web Panel Touch Controller Software - Directory
  • Create the folder node-red, enabling all “R/W/X” permits:Pixsys Web Panel Touch Controller Software - Create the folder node-red enabling

The same process is also possible by SSH access and using the following prompts:
mkdir -p /data/user/node-red
chmod a+rwx /data/user/node-red
