After a great workshop with IBM, we now feel confident enough to start working on the Gnarly-Plotter.
From our Node-red excercises where we built a Bieber-O-Meter, we can reuse parts of the node-red structure used in the Bieber-O-Meter to functions for the the Gnarly-plotter. The Gnarly-plotter has to plot different types of data, not only tweets, therefore we have to utilize Node-red in other ways aswell.
To control how the gnarly-plotter executes the different tasks, we will make a state machine. In order to comprehend the complexity of the state machine, we have drawn a simple diagram showing how the state machine should work(see picture).
Now that we have good outline of how the state machine should work, we now feel prepared to start making the various functions in Node-Red. Let the programming begin! This is going to be gnarly.
