Common operations

Here are some common operations you may want to perform once you have access to your Node’s WebApp:

Uploading a project to your Node

There are two kinds of ProtoPixel project types:

• The bare project is a file with a .ppxproj extension. It is created when you save a project with the ProtoPixel Mapping Tool software. It only contains the essential parts of your project.
• The bundled project is a file that also has a .ppxexp extension. It is created when you export a project with the ProtoPixel Mapping Tool software. It contains a bundle of all assets needed to run your project.

To run your project in your Node you will need to upload a bundled project. First, open ProtoPixel Mapping Tool and export your project ( Project ‣ Export ).

Then, on your Node’s WebApp, click the the icon on the top bar, then select your exported project and wait for it to upload. Your project will now appear on the WebApp’s front page.

Switch between uploaded projects

As explained above, when you have more than one project uploaded to your Node you can choose which one to run by going to the WebApp’s home page and pressing the ▶ button on your project. If there is another project currently running your Node will shut it down before running the new one.

Deleting an uploaded project

When you have at least one project uploaded to your Node you can choose to eliminate it by going to the WebApp’s home page and pressing the ✕ button on your project.
