I can't get any additional nodes to install. The one I'm trying to install is node-red-node-mysql.
I'm super new to Node-RED. I'm a PLC programmer and I'm trying to use the new C2-NRED module to allow my PLC to share information with the database that supports our website.
I've seen videos of how to add the mysql nodes but right now every installation fails. Here's the data log:
The PLC module/device came with node-red already installed. The PLC module is only connected to the PLC itself and my PC. I set the node-red PLC module DNS server to 1.1.1.1
It's connected to my PC via ethernet. Can it get internet access through my PC?
You'd be better off putting the device onto a network with internet access. However, I know windows has "Internet Connection Sharing" (ICS)" though I've not used it in many years.
I think it depends on what version of Windows you have. You may need to do some fiddling if using Windows Home Edition
If you are on a work or Uni/collage network, it may well be that such sharing would be against their acceptable use policy so make sure you check that out.
You may hit some Windows firewall issues that you would need to deal with.
As you are still getting the issue, the implication is that you don't have the correct network settings. Who owns the network?
It's on the network now. But yes, I'm still getting the same issue. The company owns the network. Not sure how everything is setup but it works with everything else we have including machines and servers.
Have you checked with your IT people that it is OK to attach the device? They should be able to give you the right settings. There are all sorts of security things on a corporate network that might prevent access to the Internet from an unapproved device.
It is a CLICK PLUS module. The model number is C2-NRED. It just came out and I already installed the latest updates. Maybe they will release an update with new node.js version. I found a different mysql module that was supported on the older software so hopefully this will work.
