No coding required: Node-RED on a Raspberry Pi
|
||
============================================================
|
||
|
||
### Check out this tutorial to see how easy it is to set up hardware flows with Node-RED's drag-and-drop interface.

Node-RED is a programming tool that lets you quickly connect hardware devices using a browser-based editor. It comes with a wide range of nodes that can be used to build flows in a drag-and-drop manner, significantly reducing your development time. [Node-RED][14] is installed with Raspian Jessie for Raspberry Pi, and there is also an option to download Node-RED separately.

To show you how it works, we'll build a simple tool using Node-RED to communicate with a cellular modem connected to a Raspberry Pi. With cellular modems, you can send/receive data from your Raspberry Pi over a cellular network. You can use one of the 3G/4G USB dongles commonly available through cellular network providers, or you can connect a development board with a 3G or 4G wireless modem.
|
||
|
||
Whether you're connecting with a USB dongle or a development board, the connection interface to the Raspberry Pi is through a USB port. In this tutorial, I'm connecting a [SIM900][15] development board to Raspberry Pi through a USB-to-serial converter cable.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The first step is to check that the SIM900 development board is connected to the Raspberry Pi.
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
|
||
The USB-to-serial adapter shows up here as one of the USB devices connected to the Raspberry Pi.
|
||
|
||
Next, check the USB port number the SIM900 board is connected to.
|
||
|
||
### [node_red3a.png][7]
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
In the last line above, you can see that the SIM900 board (connected through the USB-to-serial converter) is connected to **ttyUSB0** on the Raspberry Pi. Now we're ready to start using Node-RED.
|
||
|
||
Launch Node-RED on the Raspberry Pi.
|
||
|
||
### [node_red4a.png][8]
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Download this [sample flow][16] and import it into Node-RED. Note that the flow file is a JSON representation of the graphical UI.
|
||
|
||
The imported flow should look like this in Node-RED:

Injection nodes set up [AT commands][17] required to query the modem. The **Add Newline**function node appends **\r\n** to the AT commands passed from the injection nodes. Output from **Add Newline** is then wired to the **Serial Out** node, which writes data to the serial port. The AT command response from the modem is read through the **Serial In** node, which outputs the response to the **Debug **window. Make sure the serial port number and port speed are configured in both the **Serial In** and **Serial Out** nodes.
|
||
|
||
Node-RED is an easy-to-use programming tool that can be used to quickly integrate and test hardware devices. As you can see from this tutorial, connecting and testing a cellular mode with Raspberry Pi using Node-RED required no coding at all.
