+= Node-RED
+
+Node-RED can be used with the Gateworks SBCs. 
+
+Typically, Node-RED may actually run on a server machine and the Gateworks SBC acts as a client and talks back to the server. Or, Node-RED can be install on the Gateworks SBC itself.
+
+= Install Node-RED on Gateworks SBC 
+
+Doing the below commands will make the Gateworks SBC act as the 'server' 
+{{{
+
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install mosquitto #if wanting to use the MQTT protocol to talk to client
+    sudo apt-get install nodejs #beware Ubuntu default may be 10.19, and it would be better to use a newer version
+    sudo apt-get install npm #get the node package manager
+    sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red #install node-red using npm
+    node-red
+}}}
+
+Once node-red is running, use a browser to open the node-red gui on port 1880.
+ * eg http://122.24.11.93:1880/
+
+= Create a Client on Gateworks SBC
+{{{
+
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install python #if wanting to use the MQTT protocol to talk to client
+    sudo apt-get install nodejs #beware Ubuntu default may be 10.19, and it would be better to use a newer version
+
+}}}
+
+Then, create a python script (example below) to send MQTT messages from the client SBC to the server SBC.
