Ignition Programming Blog

Module Development

Hey guys,

I started a blog to help put some more information about Ignition Programming out on the web. I figure I will add to it as I come across interesting things in my experiences.

Very cool.

New post is up. “Packaging an external library as a module.”

Note: Kyle Chase’s posted something similar, with the target of including library code in the Designer and Client, for use in jython scripts. You can find it here. http://www.inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=5935

New post: Ignition Playground Project

http://ignitionprogramming.blogspot.com/2011/06/ignition-playground-project.html

I packaged up a skeleton project that I’ve found useful for playing around with ideas. Just drop it in eclipse and start coding!

If there any other simple pre-canned things you guys would find useful, let me know, and I’d be happy to try my hand at throwing one together.

Thanks Kevin, I’m sure your hard work will make my life easier. :smiley:

You’re welcome Robert :slight_smile:

I’ve updated the playground project to include a working Client hook and simple logging. It’s available at the blog post:

New blog post!

(On a topic near and dear to all of our hearts: jython scripting functions. It’s amazingly simple.)

This is awesome.

New blog post! This one is a precursor to writing a module for 3d rendering in Ignition.

After a year of silence…

New blog post!

Enjoy a little MongoDB.

Cool, the ream of possibilities has just opened up into …

I’m not sure what :/

If I think really hard I might come up with a use for this. And if I every do, I’ll know that it can be done and for that I think you.

(Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s really cool that you can extend Ignition this way. :thumb_left: )

Personally, I’ve been keen for over a year to build a Historian system on it (maybe I shouldn’t call it that, how about a “Historical Provider”). I think some really amazing things could be done with MongoDB.

However, time isn’t something I happen to have lying around, so alas…

You just have to convince yourself that Ignition really need this. Then you can work on it at work! :smiling_imp:

And, another post.

MongoDB to datasets, and back!
