Roland Modela MDX-20 in Lab setup
For IoT Lab i've been trying to get Roland Modela MDX-20 (yeah the oldie) to work within the MODS infrastructure on the local lab network.
Had to solder my own Serial db9 - db25 adapter cable followig Serial Cable for Modela MDX-20
Installed MODS on a Raspberry Pi hosting MODS-HTML5 and connected to both LAN and a self hosted MDX20_WIFI AP. Connected USB-to-Serial adapter to the Serial adapter Cable. USB detects the adapter (LSUSB)
Installing Fab Mods: Following Wiki instrictions
$ sudo su
$ apt-get install python-tk
$ pip install pyserial
$ npm install http-server -g
$ cd /home/pi
$ git clone https://github.com/FabModules/fabmodules-html5.git fabmodules
$ cd fabmodules
$ npm install
$ npm start
Results: listening for connections from 127.0.0.1 on 12345 You can install mod_serve on all machines where you have machines attached. Then from the Fab Modules interface type in your server/port combination instead of 127.0.0.1:12345.
MODS operational! BUT NO RESPONSE ON THE MDX-20 WHEN DOING THE Wk3 Electronics Production workflow
I'm missing a piece of the manual here .. how dow we go about actually connecting the MDX-20 to the MODS workflow How can we test/debug such?
