Jupyter Kernel Exchange Resource

Jupyter Kernel Ignition Exchange resource

Develop and run scripts for Ignition in the Jupyter Lab/Notebook environment!

Think of it as a script console that you can easily iterate on by using the notebook environment.

• Write code in cells and execute them like it's a script console
• Inspect objects in both gateway and designer contexts
• Test code directly from a gateway context
• Document code in-line using a literate markdown outlining
• Connects using user authentication
• Encrypted ZeroMQ sockets between Jupyter and Ignition
• metatools :)
• Load another project's scripts in scope, on demand
• Theme color choice!

Requires your own install of Jupyter Lab as well as the Python package ignition-jupyter-kernel package.

Quick start:

• Upload the Jupyter kernel project file into Ignition with the jupyter name
• Install Jupyter
• Install the ignition_kernel from PyPI
• Add a kernel connection for your localhost gateway (enter login credentials - these are stored in your operating system's keyring): python -m ignition_kernel --install
• Start Jupyter Lab
• Select your gateway from the kernels, wait for the busy icon to clear, and start programming!

NOTE: This project will automatically download the JeroMQ (jeromq-0.5.3.jar) and the JNaCl (jnacl-1.0.0.jar) from Maven if not found in the expected location at shared.tools.jupyter.zmq.JAR_FOLDER (Ignition's pylib folder, by default).
