Heya!
First off I'm very new to Node Red and equally new to Javascript. Anyways, I have a modbus sensor here (soon to be 6), and have it up and running. After writing a couple registers I read a couple of registers and receive an array in which I take the 2nd part. This comes out as msg.payload : number.
Now....Ideally to begin I want to just get this going with one sensor and then expand from there. I'd like to write this value to a CSV file with a time since start in one column, and then the number read in the next. I'd read the sensor say 4 times in 1 second then drop down to the next row and have another 4 values.
Timing aside I am struggling to even get this number to a csv file. Using the whole array is no worries but once I split to a number it complains about not being the right format. I can't seem to change it to what I need for it to be logged into the CSV, let alone format the CSV properly!
Any pro tips much appreciated, even specific reading material. I'm exhausted at this point. Have attached a screenshot and the node I'm stuck on.
Thanks!!
