Hello, is there a possibility to create C code from Node Red? My Idea is to Create C Code for Microcontrollers and other devices from specific nodes. Maybe it is possible to use the JSON File?
I have been in such an endaeveor myself. I tried searching to convert .json nodes and wires to .tick scripts. The only conclusion i found was to build a transpiler(not really)/interpretor myself.
Please keep this thread posted of you do find any. 
But how do you wish for this process happen? like, what nodes do you have in your nodered that you need to convert to a compilable c code.
The first thing i tried in my case was to use nodes and edit a single .tick file, adding functionality(lines to the same file), with each connection.
but the problem will still be to make it compilable and runnable.
- order of execution cannot be maintained.
- and syntax rules cannot be enforced.
or atlast it is too cumbersome to do the said process.
one thing you could do is build c structs from json objects like this, create a node module which would analyse the struct to create a linked data structure, then write rules explicitly on how to handle a node type, to produce a valid c file. (but nothing can be guaranteed)
These certainly exist for certain microcontrollers. Both Python & JavaScript is available.
Doesn't answer the original question really though.
There are some tools aiming to cross-compile JavaScript to C
Doubt they will be of much use but you never know.
There are also things like Haxe but that is a separate language capable of outputting several different language code types including JavaScript and C
Thank you for your support. I dont know where i can get the Javascript code to cross compile it to C? I can only downlaod the JSON file?
