Optimize Toolset

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.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

JVSDisplayOTron

A lightweight but powerful module, that allows you to easily control a Display-O-Tron 3000 / HAT from Node.js

Features

JVSDisplayOTron allows you to make use of almost all features available in Pimoroni's Python library. Both the Display-O-Tron 3000 and Display-O-Tron HAT are supported.

Many thanks go to Kiwi Electronics and Pimoroni, as this module wouldn't exist without their support. :-)

Hardware requirements

Installation

Note: these installation instructions assume that your Raspberry Pi is running an installation of Raspbian Jessie, with both Node.js and npm installed. Additionally, JVSDisplayOTron requires Python 2.x, which should come pre-installed with Raspbian.

Preparing for the installation

  1. First of all, make sure that the Raspberry Pi is up-to-date:

     sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
  2. Install all pre-requisites using Pimoroni's super-easy installation script:

     curl get.pimoroni.com/dot3k | bash
  3. Reboot the Raspberry Pi.

Installing JVSDisplayOTron

  1. Use cd to navigate to the Node.js project directory.

  2. Install JVSDisplayOTron using npm:

     npm install jvsdisplayotron --save

Usage

  1. Start by loading the module:

     var JVSDisplayOTron = require('jvsdisplayotron');
  2. Depending on the Display-O-Tron board you're using, initialize the Display-O-Tron object:

     var dot3k = new JVSDisplayOTron.DOT3k();
        

    or

     var dothat = new JVSDisplayOTron.DOTHAT();

The initialized Display-O-Tron object has a number properties, allowing you to control each component on the Display-O-Tron board:

  • lcd - an initialized LCD object for controlling the display
  • backlight - an initialized Backlight object for controlling the backlight
  • barGraph - an initialized BarGraph object for controlling the bar graph

For the Display-O-Tron 3000:

  • joystick - an initialized Joystick object for handling joystick events

For the Display-O-Tron HAT:

  • touch - an initialized Touch object for handling touch events

Documentation for each of the above mentioned components can be found here.

Code examples that show how to use JVSDisplayOTron can be found here.
