# Bluetooth serial port communication for Node.js
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/eelcocramer/node-bluetooth-serial-port.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/eelcocramer/node-bluetooth-serial-port)
> MacOS support has (temporarely) been dropped as of version v3.0.0 of the module. If you use the module on a Mac please stay on v2 of this module.
> _DEPRECATED_ Currently I have no plans to add support for nodejs version 1.13 and up. If you want to help out by adding support please contact me. It was a great experience maintaining this project for almost 8 years. It was great to see people step in to improve this project. Thank you all!

This node module lets you communicate over Bluetooth serial port with devices using Node.js. The goal is have an easy to use API. This module is great for communicating with Bluetooth enabled Arduino devices.
