Tutorial: Connect Arduino boards to FRED (Cloud Node-RED) via ESP8266 and the STS-MQTT platform

This tutorial will show you how to use FRED — a cloud-based Node-RED — to control and read data from Arduino boards using an ESP8266 module and the STS-MQTT platform. The ESP8266 is a popular, low cost Wifi module Continue reading “Tutorial: Connect Arduino boards to FRED (Cloud Node-RED) via ESP8266 and the STS-MQTT platform”

Using public data feeds on the STS-MQTT platform using Node-RED

MQTT is a popular protocol for data transmission for many developers, especially for Internet of Things applications. The new Sense Tecnic MQTT service (STS MQTT) provides FRED users an easy way to setup and to manage MQTT connections with devices and Node-RED on FRED. This blog post shows you how to use the public data feeds feature on our STS-MQTT platform for publishing and subscribing to public data streams. Continue reading “Using public data feeds on the STS-MQTT platform using Node-RED”

Tutorial: Using OPC-UA with FRED (Cloud Node-RED)

OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is a popular machine-to-machine communication protocol in industrial automation. It is a sophisticated, scalable and flexible mechanism for establishing secure connections between clients and servers. FRED is a Cloud-hosted Node-RED platform Continue reading “Tutorial: Using OPC-UA with FRED (Cloud Node-RED)”

Tutorial: Using FRED (Cloud Node-RED) with the GE Predix Timeseries Microservice

This tutorial shows you how to use FRED — a cloud based Node-RED — to connect to the General Electric’s Predix platform and use the Timeseries microservice. We make use of a new node we’ve created, node-red-contrib-predix-timeseries, on the FRED cloud-hosted Node-RED service. Continue reading “Tutorial: Using FRED (Cloud Node-RED) with the GE Predix Timeseries Microservice”

Tutorial: Controlling an Artik board using FRED and Node-RED

This tutorial shows you how to use FRED — a cloud based Node-RED — to connect to the Samsung Artik hardware modules for remote control and visualization. We make use of the node-red-contrib-artik and node-red-contrib-fred nodes on the Artik board and on the FRED cloud-hosted Node-RED service.
