Node red Dashboard
Node red has dashboard to create and view dashboards to interact with the devices in the internet of things.
There was an earlier version call node-red-contrib-ui which was replaced by node-red-dashboard created by Dave Conway-Jones (dceejay) thanks for your great contribution.

In this case we will install this add to our Node-red, previously installed  Lubuntu (Ubuntu) in next tutorials integrate devices already used previously as Arduino and ESP8266.

Dashboard installation for developers

Enter a folder / node-red

 cd ~\.node-red\node_modules 

Copy from github repositories

git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard.git

Back to Folder node-red

cd ..

Run node red

node red 

Dashboard widgets available

Example

Organization and Design Dashboards

The dashboard tab  to organize our dashboard by tabs  and groups since it does not have a tool own design, but consider this way very practical to design without worrying about compatibility design screens different resolutions on devices like smartphones tablets and  pc.

This library   node-red-contrib-modbustcp  was created by  Jason D. Harper  was based on the jsmodbus library, this library allows our Node-Red server is configured as master Modbus TCP, it contains 2 nodes one reading and one writing .

 - your user linux -  /node-red/node_modules/

npm install node-red-contrib-modbustcp

Installing Node-Red Platform

Longtime had wanted to try this platform called Node-red created by IBM, was developed in nodejs, Node red is developed by Nick O'Leary and Dave Conway-Jones thanks for their contributions.
But that is Node-red ?
It is an open source graphical tool based connection nodes containing API'S and / or services for communication and / or connecting devices to the Internet
of things, has a friendly web interface contains a variety of basic and complex functions IoT, there is also an online version of node red called IBM bluemix.
There are many tutorials to install Node-red on a local server, but these tutorials although very complete I did not work properly, I decided collect the steps to install Node-red in Linux, in this case Lubuntu (Ubuntu) I hope you will his liking this guide.
Applications
No need to be a great programmer to use Node-red, although his native language is javascript with a few tutorials will be very easy to make applications Arduino or ESP8266 or other platforms.
Currently installed Node red on Raspberry pi, excellent, although effected, since testing I decided to install it on Lubuntu (Linux) by hardware capacity.
Tutorial Install lubuntu

For testing I have previously installed a virtual machine with lubuntu, through the SSH client PuTTY equivalent to a command terminal.

Let's start with the nodejs and Node-red installation

Repository Update

sudo apt-get update

Install nodejs.

sudo apt-get install node.js -y

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

Install git

sudo apt-get install git -y

Clone repository with source code on github Node-red

git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red.git

Enter node red  folder

cd node-red

Install npm

sudo apt-get install npm -y

Install dependencies Node-red

npm install

Top folder

cd ..

Install grunt-cli globally

sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

Enter node red  folder

cd node-red

build and run Node-red application

grunt build 
 node red

virtualbox Unknown   10:33:00 a.m.

I decided to create my desktop a virtual machine in VirtualBox with Lubuntu (Linux) combination LXDE and Ubuntu, the purpose of this virtual machine is testing the Platform IoT Node-Red Interconnect devices like Arduino and ESP8266 among others .
Official Pages lubuntu.net & lubuntu.me

VirtualBox is installed on Windows, download the latest version of lubuntu in this case lubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-i386.iso for later installation.

Architecture

Clarifying that current and commonly Node-Red is installed on the platform Raspberry pi, a very practical and excellent use for this great device, but I decided to virtualize Lubuntu Linux for practicality, lightness and stability of hardware, there are also other current platforms excellent virtualization as docker among others, I hope this tutorial is taken as an introduction to those who do not conecen linux and a reminder to those already familiar with this powerful operating system and .. have fun.

Tutorial: Installation  Complete Node red

Install lubuntu

Advantages in this case

-Restoration fast image copies virtualbox in case of errors.

-Size Image virtualbox approx 4GB

-Hardware -stability
