Hello,
I have two Arduino boards connected to a single Meguno instance via serial ports. While I can use the Merged Source feature to combine the data from both sources into a single plot or interface, i am having difficulty figuring out how to send commands to one source based on incoming serial data form another source.
I tried to create an Interface panel configured for the Arduino1 source only, with a Message Processor and a Message library. Then from Arduino 1 I can send a serial command that is interpreted and processed by the message processor and sent back to the original Arduino serial connection. However, when I change the source to a Merged Source with data form both Arduinos, the processor fails to process a return command. I would expect the same command is issued on both outbound serial connections but nothing happens.
Essentially, I would like to send some data from one serial device (like Temperature) and then have a second serial device act on it (like turn on a relay). If there is a better way to do this in Meguno I would be very interested.
Send commands from one source to another via MegunoLink
Hi, currently this is not possible. The merged source only works in the inwards direction (you can see this when you ad a monitor with the merged source and it wont let you send data out). We have it on our todo list to investigate options around sending outgoing messages to both sources
