electron-blink1-toy
Advanced tools
A simple Electron app to experiment with node-blink1 & node-hid.
Tested on Electron v1.2.6+.
Assumes you have blink(1) device plugged in before running app.
To use:
npm install
npm start
Because node-hid will need to be recompiled for Electron, you will need compilers for your OS installed.
For more details on what you need, see:
But basically:
npm install -g --production windows-build-tools ; npm install -g node-gyp (via admin shell)sudo apt-get install build-essential on Ubuntu)Uses the magic of require('babel-register') in both the app and renderer to do on-the-fly transpiling
Note: the node-hid library needs to be recompiled for Electron. The electron-rebuild tool does this,
and should be done automatically for you via the "postinstall" script of this project.
This project leans heavily on https://github.com/b52/electron-es6-react
