Node-RED node for the Freya Hardware Cartridge

npm install @freya-vivariums/freya-hardware-cartridge-node-red-contrib

Node-RED is a visual programming tool that lets you wire together hardware, APIs, and online services by connecting blocks in a flow-based editor. The Freya Hardware Cartridge Node-RED node lets you control the digital outputs of the Freya SenseAndDrive Hardware Cartridge directly from your Node-RED flows over D-Bus.

Installation

Node: Freya Hardware Cartridge

Connects to the io.freya.SystemActuatorsDriver D-Bus service and controls the 6 digital outputs of the Hardware Cartridge. Configure the actuator name (used to filter incoming messages), the physical output channel (1–6), and the operation mode (on/off).
