Readme
Client-side virtual serial port for Rick Waldron's Etherport. Etherport-client is used to implement firmata-compatible boards and tethering hubs to control a board by a remote entity.
The following usage examples can also be found in the examples
directory of this package/project.
Note, you'll need to manually install the required packages to run the examples
(see require
statements in the example code).
Create an EtherPortClient
with host
and port
properties referring to the peer transport endpoint of the
EtherPort
instance. Next, bind the resulting object to an IO-plugin using
remote-io (see example below).
var EtherPortClient = require('etherport-client').EtherPortClient;
var RemoteIO = require('remote-io');
var RaspiIO = require('raspi-io');
var io = new RaspiIO();
io.on('ready', function() {
console.log("ready");
var sp = new EtherPortClient({
host: '192.168.178.70',
port: 41234
});
//listen for remote firmata messages
var remoteIO = new RemoteIO({
serial: sp,
io: io
});
});
You can also simply chain Serial Port objects. For example, if you have a host with an Arduino board connected via USB and you want to access the Arduino board from a remote computer, you chain the Serial Ports on the host as follows.
var EtherPortClient = require('etherport-client').EtherPortClient;
var chainSerialPorts = require('etherport-client').chainSerialPorts;
var SerialPort = require("serialport").SerialPort;
chainSerialPorts(
new EtherPortClient({
host: '192.168.178.70',
port: 41234
}),
new SerialPort("/dev/ttyUSB1", {
baudrate: 57600
})
);
By default, StandardFirmataWiFi with ESP8266 is a TCP Server. Thus, you'll need a TCP client transport for J5.
var five = require("johnny-five");
var EtherPortClient = require("etherport-client").EtherPortClient;
// update host to the IP address for your ESP board
var board = new five.Board({
port: new EtherPortClient({
host: "10.0.0.17",
port: 3030
}),
timeout: 1e5,
repl: false
});
board.on("ready", function() {
console.log("READY!");
var led = new five.Led(2);
led.blink(500);
});
