Hello all,

Anyone has already used the EDGE IO USB to output a data on another device ?

Is it possible to do that using Node Red ?

Thanks a lot,

Hi Paul!

There may be two options here:

  1. Send data through Tulip, by sending the data from Edge to Tulip → using Tulip to send to your device, ie through a connector (caveat, this is very inefficient)
  2. As you suspected, you could use Node-RED, this article should be able to help How to: Use Serial with Node-RED. A note here: hot-plugging isn’t supported (device must be plugged in when node-red starts for it to show up)

Does this help?
