Ghost In The Machine

Javascript within B1i is a valuable enhancement of the overall options, but this involves the development of code. In turn, development requires debugging of Javascript within B1i.

B1i Javascript Out Of JSON

If one thinks about Javascript and processing of data, there is no other chance than to think as well about JSON. So it is said…

B1i ECMA-Adapter Cookbook (feat. BME280)

Since a while, B1i has released its ECMA-Adapter (available on all hardware platforms) in order to speed up development for concrete adapters or – in the IoT world – sensor interfacing applications. But what is the fastest way in order to come up-to-speed?

B1i GY302-Adapter, Mk II: H[e]a[n]ds on!

Whereas the 1st part of this post dealt about the very technical basics for the GY302 adapter (be it on hardware / sensor side or on software / B1i side), this 2nd part now gets things concrete and make it happen – so hands- and heads-on!

B1i GY302-Adapter, Mk I: The Basics

This blog post is about to explain how the GY302-adapter for B1iP is done and how it internally works. It may serve as a starting point and blueprint for own sensor-prone B1iP related adapter development. As there is some overall information to spread, the post is split into two parts: This first part is about to understand the very environment for the adapter whereas the 2nd part shows the concrete things to be done.

IoT Demo 2k18: Modbus City Limits

The last work stage of the demo-machine is done: Enabling it to communicate via Modbus RTU with the outside world!

IoT Demo 2k18: Scenario Development

This guest blog post from Heinz Pauly (see also the B1i Blog) describes the integration scenario this demo machine is a part of.

IoT Demo 2k18: The Head Unit Firmware

As of now, the demo machine still is just only almost dead hardware:
One can see the console display lighting up and some status-LED’s that indicate

IoT Demo 2k18: Final Assembly

As almost all physical parts of the machine are produced as of now, the final assembly of the whole machine can start!

IoT Demo 2k18: The Carousel Unit

The other important building block of the machine besides the Bin Units is the one central Carousel Unit that holds the bins to collect the overall produced output.
