I'm trying to show sensor data as fast as I can ex. 20Hz or 50Hz. Is it possible to update the line chart on the dashboard in realtime? or as soon as the data is transferred to that node?
Thanks!!!
If you wanted something to work very specifically with graphs I think node-red is not your best choice, this is not the main purpose of this.
For sure I mean what is related to handle or display the graphs, it's ok for working with the data.
But wait to someone with more knowledge than me to answer.

I am a first year newbie, but the short answer is likely, no. I don't think that Node-Red and Real-time should be used in the same context.
A lot also depends on what platform you're running Node-Red on. A raspberry pi, or an 8-Core, water-cooled, overclocked beast of a desktop tower. There is also the speed of the channel the data is coming to you.
But, I'll go with no.
A single sensor in a single dashboard? Why not? Check this testing flow out (generating data at 50 Hz)
