(00:01) Hi everybody. In this video, I will show you how to read the weight processor 6200 from S. You can have already installed the optics edge with Docker and Portainer as you can see in other videos. So let me show you the flow in node red to perform this reading to the optics edge in node red. This the flow we can enter some comments as parameters.
(00:48) Then just add return this way. Then we just make a TCP request to the IP address of the hardy weight processor. Import,24 just uh buffer reading from this IP and when the socket is closed when you positive Then finally you get the string and you convert the offer to script. We have to read it. Uh concerning these parameters you can find on the web page of the instrument.
(01:51) Let’s see weight net weight. This is 6081. Let’s read the weight problem. I click here have here the graph weight the net weight. I take the weight away scale zero. could get other parameters like for instance her number of average samples for instance the scale capacity 5 kilos this case and Well, this is all. Thank you very much.
(02:57) I hope you enjoy.
