RE: First Node-Red Flow on a Raspberry Pi

in STEMGeeks4 years ago

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 Pi #35. My brother has graciously donated his N scale rolling stock to me and I had started to build up my model railroad with the PiSPROG individually controlling the engines via the Wi_Throttle app on my phone. And I believe you can integrate your switching and light controls through there as well. But then COVID came along and I shifted my focus to my Pi Home Automation project.....since I was spending so much time at home.....(grin). So I've not really spent any time with it but I do want to get back into it down the road!

You have just got your self a new stalker err follower!
I am just in the process of setting up a test track as I am getting back into the hobby and will be running DCC and upon reading up, there is so much functionality on the locos compared to the last time I ran a railway, 35+ years ago.
I also set-up a model railway community and then went around all the facebook groups to try and recruit people to the platform to no avail! Most model railway people seem to be rather stuck in their ways but I do read that they are fighting with DCC! Perhaps this will be a door into Hive in the future.

Thanks for the reply, and I will be watching closely for future articles! Have a great weekend.
