Cygnus X-1 Book Ii

[Lorin Searing]

Alittle late to this thread but here is a pic of a system we just shipped to a power utility for use in and around a hydroelectric dam facility. Mounted on the BlueROV2 Heavy is the Cygnus Mini ROV Mountable thickness gauge with the Cygnus G1 Probe Handler.

We also modified the FXTI to add another Binder connector for the UT Gauge data stream output.

Any questions, please feel free to reach out to us through our website or 800-680-7071.

But the Cygnus probe connects over serial. I have a USB hub in a separate bottle to my Pi and Navigator, would I be able to connect the cygnus via a serial to in the USB hub bottle and use the BlueOS extension that @rjehangir is working on?

Internally, Cygnus is based on Apache Flume, a technology addressing the design and execution of data collection and persistence agents. An agent is basically composed of a listener or source in charge of receiving the data, a channel where the source puts the data once it has been transformed into a Flume event, and a sink, which takes Flume events from the channel in order to persist the data within its body into a third-party storage.

IMPORTANT NOTE: for the time being, cygnus-ngsi and cygus-twitter agents cannot be installed in the same base path, because of an incompatibility with the required version of the httpclient library. Of course, if you are going to use just one of the agents, there is no problem at all.

Cygnus (more specifically, cygnus-ngsi agent) plays the role of a connector between Orion Context Broker (which is a NGSI source of data) and many FIWARE storages such as CKAN, Cosmos Big Data (Hadoop) and STH Comet. Of course, as previously said, you may add MySQL, Kafka, Carto, etc as other non FIWARE storages to the FIWARE architecture.

Nevertheless, both the Installation and Administration Guide and the User and Programmer Guide for each agent also found at readthedocs.org cover more advanced topics.
