Request oi-sensor instance on the ORS

Please make sure that you follow this tutorial and you have created accordingly needed configuration at Rapid.Space for your ORS!

Please use following tutorial to request a new oi-sensor instance. Please use any title for "<YOUR-INSTANE-TITLE>"  but make sure that your instance is allocated to the computer which represents the real ORS!

Adjust security

Note: this step is needed to be done only once at every coupler instance.

You need to allow respective slapuserX access to video linux security group. This is not yet automated by SlapOS. Please issue following command :

root@stm32mp1-5:~# usermod -a -G video slapuserX

Test that coupler software instance works

The oi-sensor itself is an OPC-UA server which anyone can access over IPv4 (or IPv6). Usually any OPC-UA enabled client can be used. Below you can see an image using UaExperts client. What is important to notice is the shape OPC UA node value. In the picture below it is 0 (i.e. nothing detected).
