I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Camera ESPER Design Better Things LTD Control

ESPER Photo Control

A node.js library for controlling the multi-camera trigger boxes from ESPER Design (AKA Better Things LTD) via USB.

WORK-IN-PROGRESS

This project is under active development and is not yet ready for external use. We will update with releases once we feal it is in a more mature state.

Requirements

The library has the following requirements for use:

System must be supported by Node SerialPort which is used for low level USB-UART communication.
Trigger Boxes need to be running firmware v1.3 (we recommend using ESPER's control software to update)
Any needed USB drivers should be installed as recommended by ESPER here

Installation

We are targeting having this up as a standard NPM package and will update these instructions once it is published.

Usage

We are attempting to create two interfaces:

A high-level interface where the individual commands for the trigger boxes are predefined and the quirks of communicating with it are handled for you.
A low-level interface that simply establishes a connection and let's you send any commands you like.

We hope to build the library in such a way that changes in behaviors and instruction sets between firmware versions can be accounted for in the high-level interface without much effort. However, the low-level interface is there to allow use of newer firmware commands or other changes without us having to build a new higher interface for it.
