Hi ptc community,

Could you please advise how to substitute car1 from External data? I am trying to accomplish any of the samples: Blue pump and the Raspberry Pi Tutorials but I stuck with this car1 Thing.

Hi @IB_10645210 , @RolandRaytchev 

 

We have the RaspberryPi-related data in the below help center link. Please navigate to the 'What You'll need' section', which has the RaspberryPiKit.zip file.

 Raspberry Project files 

 

For the RaspberryPiThing entity, the below link has step-by-step instructions to create the Thing along with the required properties:

RaspberryPiThing 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions or issues downloading the file or creating the thing in ThingWorx

Hi @IB_10645210 ,

could you , please, explain , what you want  to substitute there  (in which context External data, binding)  and why? Do you want to replace this by another object or you need simple to delete it?

The simples way there is to remove the objects from External Data section and  also this remove all  bindings to Vuforia Studio widget. 

If you need to replace by other TWX objects  so that you need to create at least one Thing in Thingworx with properties and services and use this in Vuforia STudio as described in the Vuforia Studio Help  :

http://support.ptc.com/help/vuforia/studio/en/#page/Studio_Help_Center%2Fdigital_twin%2Fdigital_twin_301_use_things_studio.html

also

Also, to allow that Thingworx Things could be accessible in Vuforia STudio so check the setting according to http://support.ptc.com/help/vuforia/studio/en/#page/Studio_Help_Center%2FGrantUserPermissions.html

 

I want to referrer for How to create a thing  - in TWX help Thing Properties  and  TWX services

Alternatively when you have question related only to Thingworx (e.g. how to create services and write a javascript , returning specific object types etc..) it is better to  address your questions to   the IOT Community :ThingWorx Developers

I am submitting a screen grab for reference. So I am not an experienced PTC user so I am trying to accomplish this Blue Pump tutorial, and I am not sure what this car1 does and if I can easily substitute it with created thing from instance.

Also, I forgot to mention: the car1 is not available on External Data anymore so I can't accomplish the Blue Pump sample tutorial - 1: I have to learn how to substitute it; 2: I can wait when it PTC will place it back, but there is no estimated time.
