Node-RED development

A long time ago, I developed some Node-RED nodes for "STEM" and "Amateur Radio" hardware, written in node.js and Python, under a FOSS license for the general public to use.

A couple months ago I noticed a popular electronic hobbyist magazine linked to my code for the relay board.  Which is really cool, the more people using Node-RED to automate and control using flow based programming technologies, the better.

I wrote that old code for my own personal use; but released it to the general public, may as well let everyone play along.  However, if people are interested, I could apply real resources and real effort toward building better Node-RED nodes.  And people DO seem interested.

I decided to set up a project, Patreon funded, to fund further Node-RED node development for "STEM" and "Amateur Radio" related hardware, mostly on Raspberry Pi type computer hardware.  I intend to produce nodes that follow all the standards in full, are well documented in written and video format, are very easy to use, FOSS licensed, and generally of the highest possible quality.  

And so far, so good!  I've cleaned up the relay board a bit, added several example flows, and recorded some pretty good Youtube documentation videos.

I intend to post detailed daily logs of Node-RED project related work on the Patreon page along with downloads and special posts for Patrons and similar add-ons.

I'll only very occasionally post major news about the project on the main company blog.

Thank You in advance for your support!
