WhiteLionATX commented 1 year ago

I saw this project on YT (Node Red Con 2022). Now I ve some questions:

  1. where is the place to get help / started with this ?
  2. I currently use ESPs + C++ with the libs for sensors I use. How can my "Node Red ESP" get data from sensors ? How are the libs includes ? Or did I get something totally wrong with this project ?
  3. Thx :)

Welcome. Thanks for watching my presentation.

where is the place to get help / started with this ?

You are in the right place!

I currently use ESPs + C++ with the libs for sensors I use. How can my "Node Red ESP" get data from sensors ?

There are several ways. The best place to start is by using an existing sensors driver. There are many in the Moddable SDK that can be used with the Sensor Node that is built-into the Node-RED MCU Edition.

How are the libs includes ?

The Sensor Node's readme.md has an example of adding a sensor driver to the project and a basic Node-RED flow that uses it.

Of course, you can also write your own sensor drivers -- in JavaScript or C/C++ -- but starting with an existing driver that already works is easier and a great way to learn.

(FYI – since this isn't an Issue, I'm going to convert it to a discussion)
