I just tried Node Red for the first time. I installed it using the SignalK plugin.
I created a simple flow to take input from SignalK's environment.wind.angleApparent, environment.wind.speedApparent, environment.wind.speedTrue and environment.wind.directionTrue. The last two are calculated using the "derived data" plugin. I also convert a good amount of SignalK data to NMEA0183 using the corresponging plugin to later display it in OpenCPN.
It all worked beutifully in Node Red. I could filter the data to slow down the input to every 5 seconds. Very nice. Except suddenly I stopped receiving the NMEA0183 data in OpenCPN. Nothing. All stopped until I uninstalled Node Red then everything worked as before and I could see the NMEA0183 data.
I would like to use Node Red. It seems very powerful but I need my NMEA0183 in OpenCPN data as well.
Has anyone encountered this behaviour before?
