Programming example↑
In this example, a food and beverage billing for employees is recorded in a database.
A database must be created in Exosphere and integrated into the configuration using the "Database".
With the "Event Database Connector" block, the database can now be populated with data.
Double-clicking on the block opens the "Database Connector Configuration". Here, the contents of the columns can be defined.
If an option is grayed out, the datatype is not compatible with it.
Additionally, the block inputs "CI1-CI8" can be named. These will be displayed in the configuration but not in the Exosphere database.
The input "ETr" is triggered when a user is successfully authenticated via the NFC Code Touch. On every rising edge of this input, data is written to the database.
The ID of the authenticated user is transferred to the "Uid" input, and with additional logic on "CI1" and "CI2", the food and beverage type as well as the respective price are transferred.
