node-red-node-blinkstick
A Node-RED node to control a BlinkStick.
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 BlinkStick tutorials or the node module documentation.
Raspberry Pi / Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y libudev-dev
You also currently need to create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/80-blinkstick.rules
containing
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="20a0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="41e5", TAG+="uaccess"
and either reload the udev rules or reboot.
Install
Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red
npm i node-red-node-blinkstick
Usage
BlinkStick output node.
Expects a msg.payload
with one of:
- A hex string "#rrggbb" triple
- "red,green,blue" three 0-255 values as a string
- "random" will generate a random color
- Standard HTML color name
- object can override any of the parameters
An object payload can override any of the settings on the node. Omitted parameters are left intact. For example:
{ 'color': 'blue' }
{ 'task': 'blink', 'color': 'red' }
{ 'task': 'pulse', 'color': 'green', 'duration': 500 }
{ 'task': 'morph', 'color': 'orange', 'duration': 500, 'steps': 20 }
