Installing Node Red for the Station Controller Make an image of the Raspberry Pi OS 32 bit version on a micro SD card. Configure the RPI Enable ssh Enable VNC Disable serial console Set your user ID and password Boot the RPI with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. Set the RPI to a static IP address like 192.168.1.50 (You can pick what you like) sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf Add the following lines at the bottom of the file interface eth0 static ip_address=192.168.1.50/24 static routers=192.168.1.1 static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1 Change the ssh port to 52000 or whatever port number you like sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config Find the line with "#Port 22" and change it to "Port 52000" Make sure you remove the # character. Shutdown the RPI and install it on to the controller board. Reboot Now you can use RealVNC to connect into the RPI remotely over the network. sudo apt-get update Install curl sudo apt install build-essential git curl Install Node Red sudo apt-get install nodered Launching the editor http://192.168.1.50:1880 Install Node Red libraries node-red-dashboard node-red-contrib-string node-red-contrib-ui-led Launching the user interface http://192.168.1.50:1880/ui/
