node-red-node-blinkstick
========================
Improvements to BlinkStick node * Ability to select BlinkStick by serial number * Look up serial numbers of connected BlinkSticks * Ability to set blink, morph and pulse animations * Ability to control the parameters of those animations like duration, * steps, repeats and delay * Repeat blink and pulse animation until new payload is received * Automatically find BlinkStick if it was removed and then plugged back in * Connectivity status when "Node Status" is enabled in the menu * Override parameters with payload object * Improved text in the info pane

Pre-requisites
--------------
Depending on your operating system you may need to install some extra libraries before installing this node... I.E make sure it works outside of Node-RED first !
For more information see <i><a href="http://www.blinkstick.com/help/tutorials" target="_new">BlinkStick tutorials</a></i> or the <i><a href="https://github.com/arvydas/blinkstick-node" target="_new">node module</a></i> documentation.
#### Raspberry Pi / Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y libudev-dev
Currently you **MUST** run Node-RED as root in order to get sufficient permissions to talk to this USB driver.
