Dear all, This seems to be a general complaint about Teamviewer, based on what people post on their forums. Other remote desktop systems work fine without such limitations (e.g. VNC, but there are plenty others). Many computer systems have dynamic MAC addresses nowadays. If you run any form of VPN v...

Dear Joes,

Looks like you only need Python libraries: https://pypi.org/project/iolink/ Profinet runs on top of Ethernet, I gather, but this is really a python-profinet question, not so much a Revolution Pi question.

Disclaimer: Note that I know nothing of Profinet.

Dear Simon, I think that the Revolution Pi syncs its time automatically. I have installed quite a few Revolution Pi's and never had any one of them drift from real time. The older ones do not use UTC as the system timezone, but that is easily fixed by running: sudo timedatectl set-timezone UTC You c...

Dear All,

I thought that maybe the best way to share this is to have a showcase project that you can clone and extend or rewrite for your own purposes. That's why answering took a little while, sorry.

Hope you find it useful.

Hi Steelhead,

We are happy users of the Unipi xG18 for 1-wire temperature measurement.

Dear mrau, What would you like to know? We don't use the gateway modules, but we map the RS485 UART into containers for Modbus applications. Besides that we do use a mix of AIO and MIO modules. Then we have revpipyload write all data into an MQTT bus as well as receive output values via MQTT. Everyt...

Dear mrau, We also use mostly Python 3, but have opted to run all our software in Docker containers. This has the added benefit of version locking all Python and system library dependencies. It also means we don't depend on things being a Revolution Pi as much (we have a mix of Revolution Pi, Unipi,...

Dear Kunbus, What is the maximum baud rate that we can run the RS485 port on the Revolution Pi Connect+? Use-case is querying a load cell at the highest possible data rate we can achieve. How is the RS485 port connected inside the Revolution Pi? Custom hardware, or one of the Raspberry Pi UARTs? I s...

Dear Dirk,

What about if I wanted to do the same from Python?

Dear All, A while ago we had a strange outage, where the Revolution Pi would no longer have network connectivity, but the control systems would still work properly. Just the HMI and data logging were no longer accessible and we could not VPN into the system. After some digging (and a bit of luck) we...
