Session!
Design like Mythbusters
Do you have an idea for a large system? Do you know how you will implement your system? Do you feel a bit overwhelmed by your system? Take a lesson from the Mythbusters television show and build a model first! In this session we’ll take a look at a batch processing system pulled from the world of industrial process automation and talk about what it would take to move to a stream-based solution. We’ll then model that solution using Node-Red, a flow-based programming environment. Along the way we’ll touch on some really fun topics like digital signal processing and data visualization using the Node-Red dashboard.
