general information about the demo

[wiesson]

"The getting started topic" is not very helpful to me, so I'm sorry for the (basic) questions.

I ran the rails server but what is the next step? Where do I find some information? How can I feed the rails server with xml data? Maybe I am totally wrong.

Did you use ruby and rails only for the demo webserver and not for the Mtconnect device itself? I'm currently not very familiar with Mtconnect and thought, I could handle it with ruby.

The running demo application can be found at http://demo.mtconnect.org . If you want to stand up a similar app of your own, you can start the mtconnect demo app and add a device. There is a sample mtconnect feed at http://agent.mtconnect.org

I'm traveling right now, but if you can give me an idea of what you would like to do I'd be happy to help.

Best,
Will Sobel

Hey, thank your for reply!

I'm currently trying to become familiar with mtconnect itself. I have no knowledge in c# and I am more the unix user then the windows user ;)

okay, my vm runs very well with your rails code after a cuple of issues (rake version differences..)

If you want to stand up a similar app of your own, you can start the mtconnect demo app and add a device.

yes I was supposed to do that but I dont know the commands to add a feed. We have different machines at our department of production engineering and I want to figure out how I can connect them with the rails server.
