I'm using node-red-contrib-brads-i2c-nodes to read temperature and pressure. I also have a python script that works successfully but wanted to try my hand at Node-Red.
I'm new to Node-Red but am frustrated.
Error is: 2/21/2019, 7:26:43 PMnode: 1cd94fa8.b7ae4
msg.payload : string[22] " unrecognized command."
node bmp180 "ready"
node bmp180 output: msg.payload.temperature
I don't know what to send to node bmp180 to read it from the inject node.
It seem that the upstream node are not configured correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you click on the 1cd94fa8.b7ae4 bit in the debug it should highlight the node that is causing the error.
How have you configured the bmp180 node you are using?
bmp180: node imput: none
node output: 1. msg.payload.temperature
node output: 2 msg.payload.humidity
topic: temperature
node says "ready"
node function:
msg.payload = msg.payload;
return msg;
node debug:
input: msg.payload
output: msg.payload
i'm kicking off the project by injecting time (hoping is is not used).

node 1cd941a8.b7ae4 is a debug node
Hope this help.
Looking at the code for that node it seems you need to send it a string "measure" for it to reply correctly - change your inject to send that and see what happens.
From the overall project readme
All nodes use an [ inject ] node to send a string command of 'measure' to initiate sensor measurement based on values set in the config panels of the flow diagram.
But yeah - docs is not his thing... maybe worth raising an issue on the github page for that node to add something to the info for each node - but it's been a while since he touched it.
dceejay - You're right on. Where is this documented?

Thanks for your help
It's on the main project page for the node you mentioned
Ah, yes. I see it now.
Thank you again.
I have soo much to learn.
