I got it working!

Pretty simple once you figure out what is needed.
Starting from a basic GrovePi setup like http://forum.goatech.org/t/grovepi-basic-setup-reading-sensor-values/96 all I had to do was

  1. Install npm and a newer version of Node-Red that has the “Manage Pallet” menu option. I used the official script from https://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi for this
  2. Add https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-grovepi from the “Manage Pallet” menu.

From there you should have some new GrovePi nodes in Node-RED and the options are pretty clear.

I am starting to work on a demo video. If you want do see that let me know, it might encourage me to get it done faster :slight_smile:
