Node-RED Controller

Hi Matt.

I'm looking for way to control my DMX decoder using RS485 hat on Rpi. I'd love to control it in Node-RED environment.
Shield's manufacturer supplied a sample python code, sending a simple test string over RS485, and it works, but I'm wandering how can I modify this code, making it send DMX frames. Maybe you could give me some tips how to do it, because unfortunately, I don't know python.

Here is the code which I've simplified a little bit, and original one in the link below.

import serial
import os
import sys
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
libdir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(file))), 'lib')
if os.path.exists(libdir):
sys.path.append(libdir)

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
from waveshare_2_CH_RS485_HAT import config

TXDEN_1 = 27
TXDEN_2 = 22

ser = config.config(dev = "/dev/ttySC0")
data = ''
GPIO.output(TXDEN_1, GPIO.LOW)
ser.Uart_SendString('Waveshare 2-CH RS485 HAT\r\n')
time.sleep(0.005)#Waiting to send
GPIO.output(TXDEN_1, GPIO.HIGH)

The issue provides a Python example using RPi.GPIO, serial, and waveshare_2_CH_RS485_HAT.config with /dev/ttySC0; start by reading that snippet and the linked Waveshare wiki. Clarify the intended Node-RED integration and DMX-frame requirements before choosing an entry point. Done should be a documented or tested way to send DMX frames through the RS485 HAT from Node-RED.
