The current README and wiki page are very concise and probably not enough to get some folks started. They could do with some improvements.

Ideas:

@danyou @velum @TomKriek99 Since you guys documented some steps ion the other thread already you might want to join here and help update/expand the instructions. (or add another video guide) All help is appreciated.

I’m on it.

danyou commented 4 years ago

Please see attached steps I have used.

Thanks. I did something similar with wifi, so I'll combine. Wasn't successful sending anything to the Z though, so will see what I get with your procedure.

TomKriek99 commented 4 years ago

What needs to be modified in the Web UI for each user or will the demo work? I wasn't sure if the User and Machine ID need to be coded into it.

TomKriek99 commented 4 years ago

danyou - I followed your procedure in the pico_server.pdf and the problem I have is that my Zymatic won't move forward without a WiFi connection, even though the CAT-5 is plugged in. Connecting to my WiFi network bypasses everything and goes out to the internet. picobrew.com does ping to 192.168.137.1. Before I would see the traffic showing up in the terminal window running the server, but I'm not seeing anything. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

danyou - I get a can't get to PicoBrew.com error when not connected to WiFi but connected to ethernet. I assume the ethernet cable is connected to the computer running the server? Thanks.

danyou commented 4 years ago

When the Zymatic shows Detecting Ethernet, you see no activity in the terminal window? Is the server running --host 0.0.0.0? When you enable ICS are you sharing an active network (wifi) connection? It sounds like something might be blocking the incoming request.

Here are the updated instructions for the server and a batch file people can run instead of entering separate commands. Picobrew Zymatic PDF.pdf runserver.bat.zip

I looked through this guide and it's great. Lot's of good detail/ explanation.
