Andre Welcome to the forum. I can comment on Green Heron RT21 controllers. Yes, we have already built flows to interface directly with the RT21.? In my case, I built a Node-Red flow to get the AZ and EL data from SatPC32 and send that to the RT21.? Similarly, most logbook programs have a UDP or API interface to get the rotor info into Node-Red.? Then it's a simple change to my flow to command the RT21 with the same data. An important consideration is what platform do you prefer to run Node-Red?? This is important in setting up the COM ports with the RT21s.? Since you have multiple rotors, might I suggest you run Node-Red on a Raspberry Pi and use COM to IP converters for each RT21.? I use the MOXA N5200.? I have direct experience with this configuration and found it is very stable. Another approach is to command PST Rotor using Node-Red.? Many prefer this method.? However, this does not solve your need to use multiple inputs to command your multiple RT21s. Which logging program do you use.? We already have Node-Red connectors for N1MM. I think most of the devices you are using GH Anywhere, can be done with Node-Red and consolidated on a single Dashboard, including adding interlocks and other functions?between various devices. I can help you get started with the rotor control if you like.? Then expand from there. Alan.

I am building two fairly large stations and both have the same problems. Lots of different applications with different GUI's making it rather complicated. After watching the video it seems that Node Red will be able to bring all this together in one GUI. I really like what I see and before I dig too deep into this, I thought I would ask a few questions here: |
