NPIX-RS485 with auto direction control now available

[Armin@netPI]

Hi there,

can you tell me which gpio node you have been using during your test?

The one that I am always using is Raspberry Pi GPIO named "node-red-node-pi-gpio" https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-pi-gpio. It needs to be post installed.

Then it goes with charm if you setup the container as described in the README like this

a.) privileged mode on
b.) /dev/ttyS0 devicemapped
b.) MOST IMPORTANT /dev/gpiomem mapped

Here is  my screen shot of setting the GPIO right

   

But I am wondering that this GPIO node is not part of the standard Node-RED library and installation. I hardly can remember but I thought it is installed along with Node-RED always by default

But nevertheless in Node-RED 1.0.6 it is no longer there. It would be good to have this node in hilschernetpi/netpi-nodered container installed by default too. I will generate a new version for the community including this node then today. Then everybody is on the same level and this forum topic "RS-485 ..." do not create misunderstandings any more.


Thx
Armin
