Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v0.9.1

Published

An EPICS node for node-red

Readme

node-red-contrib-epics

This node allows basic communication with Process Variables (PVs) on an Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) network. It depends on the node-epics module written by Robbie Clarken.

Ensure either EPICS_BASE and EPICS_HOST_ARCH are set or

export NODE_EPICS_LIBCA=/path/to/libca

This release provides a very basic interface with minimal error handling done inside the node-red interface. However, all errors should appear either in the debug pane or in the node-red backend console (especially if crashing).

I have only tested with numerics and strings at the moment, not waveforms or other data types. Please see the node-epics github page for more information.

In future I hope to add more functionality to the node-epics module, including alarm handling etc, and pass this into the node.
