Node-Red Control

Node-Red is a visual programming tool. It visually shows the relationships and functions and allows the user to program simply in a graphical interface based on blocks. Node-Red is a browser-based flow editor where you can add or remove nodes and connect them to each other to make them communicate with each other. Node-Red makes connecting hardware devices, APIs, and online services more accessible.
Node-Red has become the open-source standard for managing and processing data in real-time, simplifying processes between information producers and consumers.

Node-Red has established itself as an open-source framework for the management and transformation of data in real time in Industry 4.0, IOT, digital Marketing or Artificial Intelligence systems environments, among others. The simplicity of learning and use, which does not require programming knowledge, its robustness and the need for low computing resources has allowed it to be integrated today in practically the majority of IOT and IIOT devices on the market, as well as Raspberry computers. , cloud systems or local equipment.

Node-Red is a very powerful tool that is used to communicate hardware and services in a very fast and simple way. It greatly simplifies the task of programming on the server side thanks to visual programming.

In our project, we are running Node-Red on a Raspberry Pi 4. Through this, we have programmed the necessary nodes to control our smart feeder.

We will be sharing the details of the blocks and sections within our code in a future post.
