AdvancedHMI on a Raspberry Pi

[jsathern]

I'm new sorry.  did not know about the addressing

Here is how to run an AdvancedHMI application on a Raspberry Pi

1) Download the Debian Wheezy image
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

2) Copy the image to the MicroSD card using Win32DiskImager
3) Install the card and boot up the Pi
4) When it gets to the configuration screen, set it to expand the image and also to boot to a Graphical User Interface
5) Select Finish in the configuration and Reboot
6) Once booted into the GUI, open a Command Prompt
7) Type these series of commands:

sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install mono-complete
apt-get install mono-vbnc

8 ) Put in a memory stick with an AdvancedHMI application on it
9) In the command prompt, use the "cd" command to browse to the memory stick to the directory /bin/debug
10) mono AdvancedHMI.exe

In a few seconds the application should start.

There are a few things you may run into.

- You cannot use an OPC server because it is not a .NET application
- The MessageDisplayByValue may stop the application because it uses a speech library. There is a work around. Find System.Speech.DLL on your Windows PC and copy the file into the /bin/debug directory

Well hot dog, I got this working!

This is my first foray into Raspberry Pi and AHMI, - I have been mostly an Arduino guy.



I do have a question however, is there a connector, or way to harvest data from MySQL or an AWS RDS into AHMI directly?  I have the desire to have some direct device data, and some database data on AHMI.

Just search this forum for "MySQL" and you will see some topics that had discussed it, like these ones:

https://www.advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=1641.0

https://www.advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=2291.0

https://www.advancedhmi.com/forum/index.php?topic=2129.0

Google will probably provide a bunch more info on MySQL and .Net usage.

Hello folks!!! Newbie here....

I see that @NaturallyAspirated is still using and has success on Archie's 2015 post.
Is there an updated version where a detailed step instruction are provided for an absolute green newbie like me?
Would appreciate any link. Thanks in advance...

I can help you walk though it.  It's pretty easy to do!

Dear Sirs

Could you help me to install AdvancedHMI application on my Raspberry pi 3+??

How to download AdvancedHMI.exe software to put it in RaspberryPi?
Kindly give me proper details with each and every step(How to go step by step)
So please reply ASAP.

[Godra]

The first and most important step is that you start reading.

You can choose to go from the very first post of this topic (which would be recommended) or just scroll up to the reply #93 and you will see the steps.

Where is an AdvacnedHMI.exe file or from where i can download it?

You don't download AdvancedHMI.exe , you use the base package to create your application

How to start communication with Rpi from our Base Package and how can I check that rpi is responding?

Have you read the quick start guide?

[Godra]

Consider that RPi is just another computer.

You don't communicate with RPi at all, you only use it to load your finished application and run it from there.

You need to use the Base Package on a Windows based computer, create your application and, while creating it, can only test it with the direct connection to your PLC. Once you know it works, that is when you load it to the RPi and connect your PLC to the RPi as well.

Hi guys. I have got AHMI working on my Pi 4b 8Gb using Mono. The executable file loads fine and the HMI looks great so Mono definitely works well.

The issue I am having is with the Pi port labels. Unlike Windows which has easy "COM1" "COM2" etc it would seem that after a little bit of digging around the command lines on the Raspberry Pi my USB - RS485 cable seems to be attached to "ttyUSB0". However when I enter this port value into the properties box of the Modbus RTU driver and run it on the Pi it shows that "no such port address exists" ? . . . Any help would be most appreciated. Would love to get this to work on the Raspberry Pi.

Hi, sorry, what OS is the RPi working with?
Could you guide me how mono is installed in RPi
and what version
