As a newbe I already mastered some simple flows for combinatorical problems. My system is a energy storage system running Venus what comes with a preconfigured NodeRed. Although I am long term C and assembly programmer without any knowledge and experience using Javascript, I like to go on using No…

[image] Janvi: As a consequence, Node Red does not allow any graphical link to its own node. To escape from this limitation, the example shows inserted DummyFunctions inside both loops. Sorry, I don't understand this. You can certainly loop a node's output back to its input - what am I missin…

Many thanks for the hint with the junction node. I was not aware for this element up on now. Whatever it is doing and for whatever it is intended, it replaces my previous used fake-dummy functions. In correct position, graphic is not looking funky. Only distance between the lines could be more than…

Although I have reading all the postings, I've been busy with students to have contributed anything useful recently. [image] Janvi: I was not aware for this element up on now. I did actually show a loop using Link-Out and Link-In nodes fairly early on in this thread. [b5777bcbe9e0ca926397b…

There was a mistake in line 27 of the blink FSM node. Obviosly JS is not complaining about reading variables never written nor defined but the runtime does not know about on how to handle this. - Anything crashed - its no more blinking

[image] Janvi: I am receiving this unexpected messages frequently from time to time without touching anything. Do you have 2 tabs with node-red (or another browser) open ? Then you get these conflicts.

Maybe accidently - I am going to take care for this. Going back to one of my earlier versions and come back later.

[image] Janvi: ... the junction node .... replaces my previous used fake-dummy functions. Just to point out that while the editor(rightly) won't let you connect a node's output directly to it's input, it is perfectly happy if you use a junction or other node between and then ctrl-delete (del…

@jbudd very tricky, not anything intuitive but works perfect Back with a older version. At least this blinks reliable.

Here's one of my old projects (18-months ago) that uses a FSM to control my garage door.
