Hi @nathen007.stem and thanks for the kind words. I had a good chuckle when you asked about the model railway connection, because I had tinkered with the PiSPROG add on board that I purchased for my Raspberry

Great idea! I'll swap you the ISO on your github for my flows on mine (grin)

No pressure for tomorrow morning then.....(grin)! If you ever want a sample of one of my flows, they are easy to download and the upload into another Node-Red machine. I use this process to backup my flows

In my opinion, Node-Red is a GUI for node.js. It allows you to easily generate complex programs with a simple to use and understand User Interface. I don't know node.js and when I look at the code I've

Thanks for catching that! That's what happens when you post first thing in the morning before the third cup of coffee!!!

What a great idea, and I can imagine how long it would have taken to dig that hole, and how much easier it was to place the tank with the help of the excavator! I also like your concrete catch basin to

Yep! Best value in my opinion is the Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB of RAM. For your first, I would suggest purchasing a kit that has the USB-C power supply, and the regular HDMI > Micro HDMI cables to allow

That's very cool! AND congrats on the new job! When I think of all of the school students learning some form of programming in school, I see the value not in learning the language, but in learning how

Great question! It's built on node.js but it also has the flow editor that allows you to build the software by joining the pieces of the flow. In their words "Node-Red provides a browser based flow

I wish you would have played the prank, and I wish I would have been there to witness it (grin)! Sometimes I sense the more I do for my students, the more they expect from me.... And maybe that is my

Thanks! I am continually amazed at what you can do with these small credit card sized Raspberry Pi computers!

I smiled when I read your comment "The fascinating aspect of life is that we usually base our applied science from the discoveries of wise men who have lived centuries before us." My passion

I'm not talking to it yet, I was hoping someone might find the pi software they had used to decipher the serial data coming from the controller (hint, hint, grin!)! I was able to connect my laptop into

Born & raised in Calgary, and then moved to Irricana (45 mins NW of Calgary) about 10 years ago. Wanted to get away from the city itself, but still be close enough to take work there, etc. I lived

It would be great to see your work on mqtt. I'll be sharing some of mine tomorrow where I've interfaced my primary node-red Pi with my Pi ZeroW's

Very cool! This would work great on my Pi with their small touchscreen! It would save me having to use the USB keyboard!

Well I made it part way thru your code (grin)! I'll need to sit down and take some time to better understand it! I'm continually impressed with the power of Python3!

Thanks @wwwiebe for the feedback! Please let me know how your build goes for the Pi based Zoom/Google setup? And I wouldn't mind seeing your config for receiving and parsing the log files..... I can think

I think that is one of the challenges we have in any city. All of the electronic devices in every house, switching power supplies from every LED light to any other AC > DC converter, or which there

My guess is 8, 1 + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 2 x 2 = 4 x 2 = 8? ...... but I really want to answer 6 (grin)!!!
