Where is thingworx-raspberry-pi-quickstart ?

[lmielczarek1]

Hi

I have noticed that recently one of the quickstart guides just vanished from developer portal?

Does anyone know what happened with http://developer.thingworx.com/guides/thingworx-raspberry-pi-quic…

Thanks

Hi,

I am working on updating that guide to work with our new version 8.2 hosted ThingWorx servers right now,

Allen - Is this completed?

[Rick-Stanley]

Yes, the guide has been updated with a link to download the latest version of EMS and instructions for connecting to the hosted trial ThingWorx instances that now use https

Thanks Al. I dont know what is the change? my problems persist !

Is this  reverse DNS change?

[Rick-Stanley]

If you are more specific about the problems you are having I may be able to help.

Hi Al - Pls go through this post.  most of the problem statements are given there along with the Lua and Jason config file  + logs..

Is this a reverse DNS issue?

Hi,

I'm following this guide in the hopes of connecting my RaspberryPi to Thingworx. I got as far as creating the config.json file - however, my Thingworx platform is hosted on my computer, rather than the Thingworx server.

Can you please tell me what I am supposed to write in the "ws_servers" part of the config.json file?

Also, the following step says to type:

Ls -la
    -rwxrwxr-x 1 pi pi  769058 Jun  9 17:46 wsems

 I assume I am supposed to hit return after the initial Ls -la command, as it's not possible to enter multiple lines in a command prompt without hitting return after the first line. However, that just produces the following line:

bash: Ls: command not found

Please could you let me know what I am supposed to do in this situation?

If you need any more information, let me know. Assume little knowledge of Thingworx as I only started using it a few weeks ago. Any assistance will be massively appreciated!!

Best regards,

Charlotte

pls use small case : ls -la

[pbatwal]

also for configuration of WS server, use localhost at port 8080. let me know if you need  help with that..

Hi,

After trying for much longer than I'd care to admit, I realised it must've been a typo on the guide and used lower case. Thanks for also clearing that up for me!

It seems the second problem I'm having is something to do with security settings on my work laptop - Symantec Protection is blocking any other devices from connecting with the ports on my laptop. I've tried using local host and it didn't work, but once I get the security problem sorted I'll give localhost another go. Thank you!

generally if you are using the same machine, security should not be a problem...

Are you using secure connection ? SSL?

[csummers1]

The raspberry pi is a different machine - due to a block on the VPN I'm using, I cannot access the pi through my laptop

Hello,

You can find a quick guide on how to connect a raspberry pi to ThingWorx here. Please note that the instructions have not been updated for TW 8.2 yet.

[pbatwal]

Team - Seems the instructions are old and i am not able to connect the Pi 3 with TW 8.2.

Any help?
