ue-communication-plugins

Unreal engine plugins for communication with Thingworx and Thingsboard IoT platforms.

Installation

The plugins can be used with both C++ projects and Blueprint only projects (however I could not package Blueprint only project)

Blueprint only project installation

To install the plugin for Blueprint project, you have to copy the plugin folder into the Engine folder - the path is most likely to be C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_4.XX/Engine/Plugins/Runtime/

C++ project installation

1. Create a "Plugins" folder in the project folder (the root folder where you have Visual Studio and UPROJECT files).
2. Copy the plugin into the Plugins folder

You might need to enable plugins, it can be done in the same way as you would enable any other marketplace stuff: 1. In the UE editor go "Edit->Plugins". 2. You should see all the installed plugins and Thingworx/Thingsboard among them.

Example usage

Create a Blueprint Actor and add Thingsboard/Thingworx component. In the component parameters you can change base url, device id, measurements you want to get and username/password to access the measurements.
In oder to get the measurements you can use "Get Measurements Array" function, which returns array of structures. Each structure containes {Measurement name : Value} pair. You can iterate over all measurements with "For Each Loop". The measurements in the array should be in the same order you specified them in the component's parameters.
