Step-by-step guide to installing OPC Publisher on Azure IoT Edge
Of all the Azure IoT Edge modules, the OPC Publisher is one of the more challenging modules to setup. I've had a number of Industrial IoT partners struggle with connecting an OPC UA server, such as a Historian or SCADA system, to Azure IoT Hub using Azure IoT Edge and our open source OPC Publisher module. So I recently wrote a step-by-step blog post on LinkedIn on how to do this. If you don't have a physical device to act as the IoT Edge gateway, you can use a virtual machine running on-premise or in Azure as an alternative. Hopefully the blog post will help you and save you some headaches when connecting using OPC UA.IoT Device Simulation - Device simulator covering a wide range of Azure IoT SDK features
Hi all, In case you will find this useful for your IoT projects, you will find https://github.com/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator an #iot device #simulation tool implementing a wide range of #azure IoT SDK capabilities. The approach of the solution is to complete other https://jmidotnetfr.wordpress.com/2019/08/25/azure-iot-device-simulator-vs-microsoft-device-simulator-accelerator/. The solution is a .NET Core application. It can be used : as a development tool as a complete IoT flow simulation tool from the device perspective (C2D/D2C, including IoTHub modules) for building simulation platforms (containerized, Docker image). Many configurations are possible through JSON-based settings. All details are https://github.com/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator ;). Enjoy 😉
Visual Studio 2019 extension for building REST APIs exposing IoT Hub features
Hi all, If you need to write REST APIs (.Net Core) to expose or complete IoT Hub APIs or create a facade, this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JonMikelInza.IoTHubDotNetCoreRESTAPITemplate will help you to save a few minutes. It creates a ready to use solution in a few seconds and allows you to focus on important code (business logic, etc). The created API includes other features like: - API versioning - Automatic OpenAPI generation (versioned according to API versions) - separated layers - minimalistic solution with required dependencies only The only thing you need to do is to set the IoT Hub connection in the configuration file (appsettings.json). More details https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JonMikelInza.IoTHubDotNetCoreRESTAPITemplate.
