A controllable clock generator for Node-RED that runs through the individual clock cycles with the set period duration.
Features:
- Controllable by incoming messages
- Period duration adjustable
- Format of outgoing messages configurable
- Second output with inverted signal
- Initial output messages (optional)
Modifications to the original:
- Preserve the inbound message by appending the clock information to msg.clock.
- Allow the control of the clock generator with incoming msg properties: msg.reset: resets the clock to it's initial state if its value is true.
Open Node-RED and select Manage palette from the menu to open the Palette Manager. Go to the Install tab, search for node-red-contrib-clock-generator and click install.
Alternatively, you can run the following command in your Node-RED user directory (typically ~/.node-red):
npm i node-red-contrib-clock-generator
