Need help displaying data each interval

General

Im having trouble to display data every 5 seconds interval after using the switch node. But when i debug the node before it reaches the switch node, the output shows what its supposed to every 5 seconds. Hope you guys can help me with this. Below is my flow;

what datatype are you sending to the switch and what datatype are you testing?

p.s. you have a second bug you will need to fix, but I think you shold be able to find it.

I was sending the number 1-5 with the split function everytime it founds a space. The data shows perfectly in each interval of 5 secs before i add in the switch node so it displays the data in different outputs. I think this flow works better.

try changing your debug nodes to display the 'Complete msg object' and see it that gives you more to debug with

Also I would shut off the internal so you can manually inject to see what happens each time and I'd try just using 2 numbers instead of 5

Have an especially close look at the msg.parts.index property you are testing for. You can even change the debug node just to show you this property:

I modified your flow so that you can manually inject and will see just this property in the debug.
