Constant
- Category: Middleware
What it is
Provides constant text (numbers or switches can be written as text too), or passes upstream text through. Often used as the source of a reading script or as a test input before a gate.
This node grew out of the related Lab tools: wires in a blueprint replace the step-by-step clicks in the Lab, which makes it easy to reuse and to hand to an agent.
