Where is the /rex folder?

G'day Boffins,

I'm trying to access a text log file and I can't seem to find the directory that this would be in on the Pi.
The readme I'm using says it would be in the /rex/data folder on Linux.  I can't seem to find anything rex related except the rex-install-pi folder.

any ideas?

Gah!  found it. it's not in the home directory, i.e. /home/rex/data,  it's just /rex/data.

Re: Where is the /rex folder?

Hello Bill,

EDIT: first, I didn't realised that we are talking about "Logging to text file" example. So yes, the text log file generated by this example is located in "/rex/data" folder.

My prior answer is related to the REX Core System log:
System log file can be configured by modifying configuration options in the "/rex/rexcore/rexcore.cfg" file - see REX Core User Guide:
https://www.rexcontrols.com/media/2.50. … pdf#page=5
Focus on "log.file.enabled" and "log.file" options in order to enable/disable System log file and set the System log file location (relative to REX root folder - /rex/).

I hope the above is useful to you. If you require any further information, let me know.

Regards, Tomas

Oh great! Thanks for the information on the configuration file.  That will definitely come in handy.
