Parallax Control Engine Nodes for Node-RED
This package offers a collection of custom Node-RED nodes specifically designed for integration with the Parallax Control Engine Hardware. It facilitates the creation of control logic for audiovisual systems by providing a set of tools that are fully compatible with the Parallax Control Environment.
Features
Seamless Integration: Work directly within Node-RED to create control logic for the Parallax Control Engine, leveraging the power and flexibility of flow-based programming. .NET and Node-RED Programming Options: Whether you prefer programming in a .NET console application or directly within Node-RED, this package offers versatility to suit your development style. Pre-built Nodes: Reduce development time with a set of pre-built nodes, eliminating the need for extensive custom node development. Customization-Friendly: While the nodes are ready to use out of the box, they are also customizable to fit the unique logic and requirements of your audiovisual control system. MQTT Broker Compatibility: Use alongside the AEDES MQTT Broker Node to establish robust communication between your control logic and user-interface touch panels. Payload Compatibility: The nodes are designed to support a specific msg.payload structure, ensuring compatibility with the Parallax Control Engine. Getting Started
To get started with these nodes in your Node-RED environment:
Install the Package: Install the package via npm or directly within Node-RED's palette manager. npm install @parallaxcontrol/control-nodes Explore the Nodes: Each node comes with its own set of configurable options tailored for the Parallax Control Engine. Create Your Flows: Drag and drop the nodes to build your control logic in a visual, flow-based manner. Connect to MQTT Broker: Use the AEDES MQTT Broker Node (not included in this package) for communication between your Node-RED logic and the touch panels. Deploy and Test: Deploy your flows and test them with the Parallax Control Engine Hardware. Documentation
