Requirements

Installation

Clone this repository:

npm install -g @bleskomat/cli

Usage

Connect the Bleskomat hardware device to your computer via USB. Then to connect to it:

bleskomat connect

Options:

--devicePath <value>  File path of USB device (default: "/dev/ttyUSB0")
--baudRate <value>    The baud rate used for serial communication with USB device (default: 115200)

The current user must have permission to read/write to the file. So it may be necessary to change ownership of the device:

sudo chown $USER /dev/ttyUSB0

Once connected to the device, send JSON-RPC commands as follows:

> getinfo

Press Tab key twice to auto-complete or print available JSON-RPC methods.

To disconnect press Ctrl + C twice.

Echo command:

> echo ["Ahoj!"]

Reboot the device:

> restart

Get current device configurations:

> getconfig

Set configurations:

> setconfig {"locale":"en"}

Note that all values should be strings.

Get logs:

> getlogs

This may take up to 10 or more seconds depending how much data needs to be transmitted. The logs will be written a file named "bleskomat.log" in your current working directory.
