Writing a polled Point to Pachube

So I downloaded v1.9 and wanted to try out the pachube feed. I have data collected over modbus and wanted to publish a point to pachube as my "hello world" test.

I created a point link from modbus point to pachube point. That worked. Is that the best practice for doing this under Mango?

You can just publish the modbus points directly. You don't need to link them to anything.

So in the name field of the panchube point detail, I enter the modbus tag name?

Are you using a Pachube data source, or a Pachube publisher? With the former you can get information from Pachube into Mango (although setting values is also supported). With the latter you publish data from Mango to Pachube.

Pachube manual feed via put. I tried it without a point link. Works fine.

Thanks

I removed all point links. Now when I go back to point links the target point only has two entries in the drop down. I have a lot more than that as per the source point. Any idea why the drop down is populated with only two points?

Only points of the same data type are listed.

Well I added the point link back since I thought I saw it work without it. I can only make the push to pachube via the point links.

Why don't you just use the Pachube publisher?

Ok. My bad. I always sand-boxed myself in the data source world. I never used publisher and saw it. No brainer now.
