Can ignition connect to microcomputer like STM32 and Raspberry Pi?

If you’ve programmed them to do something useful, like accept a Modbus connection or some other protocol Ignition has a driver for. Even a HTTP/REST API in the case of the Raspberry Pi.

Node red is another option with Travis’ module. I havent checked if it’s been ported to 8.3 yet but I'm running this at home still on 8.1

Thank you for your help, but what Node red and Travis’ module mean? I am not familiar to ignition yet :melting_face: .

You can run node red on a rpi and talk to the gpio ports, and node red can communicate these to Ignition.

This post has the links to the Ignition nodes doco

And here is the ignition module

for stm32 if you implemented modbus rtu over serial it should be possible to communicate to using serial module. Rpi you can communicate through tcp/ip directly.

While Modbus etc might be a bit fat

For such small systems, possibly something like Firmata might be more suitable? It’s a super lightweight Protocol.

As I’m currently working on bringing all Apache PLC4X drivers (and my commercial ones) to Ignition, that also might be an option?
