NodeBlu - Can it communicate with skynet on Pi about meshblu HOT 13 CLOSED

As long as you know the uuid for the pi, you can message it to and from NodeBlu. They'll pass through skynetim.

Just add the uuid of the pi in dialog of a skynet node in NodeBlu.

Also, you might want to look at https://github.com/skynetim/hub for running on the pi. I was coincidentally about to push some docs to help with that setup in a few minutes :)

Great. That would be really helpful. Thanks

I had the hub previously installed on my pi. Just following the above instructions and ran npm install and then ran sudo node server.js
Seems to be coming up with lots of errors that were not there before. Says express was missing so I installed it. Now saying

~/hub $ sudo node server.js

module.js:340
throw err;

Have I missed any steps out?
thanks

possibly git pull origin master from the hub directory to make sure you're at the latest?

from meshblu.

also, can you confirm which node version you're running? node --version

from meshblu.

On my Pi I am running v0.10.23. Its not the latest but the hub did work 2-3 days ago.

from meshblu.

Should be fine. Dependencies are versioned, so only thing else I can think is maybe an error in npm downloading. Perhaps remove the node_modules folder and run npm install again?

from meshblu.

Thanks for checking. I removed the hub directory and decided to start the install fresh. Takes a long time on the Pi but hopefully be able to test before bed :)

from meshblu.

Its all installed and up and running now. Also tested the skynethub.sh and all good so far.

from meshblu.

w00t!

Do you have any examples on communicating with a device attached to the hub on a Raspberry Pi? I'm struggling to understand how to achieve it. Thanks

from meshblu.

You can now run the following command from Nodeblu's background page to connect to private instances of SkyNet:

setupConn('http://192.168.100.20', 3000, function(data){ console.log('hi', data); } );

Replace the IP address and port with your local configuration.
