MillionBounce - Master-A-Million Node.js/WebBluetooth Drivers

Javascript/Typescript project for exposing access to Bluetooth functionality of the Master A Million 2.0 Bluetooth Bouncy Ball.

Installation

npm install

Notes

• The first time you register a ball, you'll need to set the ID. If it's just blinking red for a couple of minutes, that means it's uninitialized and needs an ID. If the ID isn't set within ~2 minutes, bluetooth shuts down. An ID is just a 24 bit number, usually provisioned by the MAM website, but you can just put anything in. Note that if you use a number then try to use the app, I have no idea what will happen.
• After an ID is set, the ball will blink red 3 times every time you bounce it. This will start bluetooth up for something like 20 seconds. AFAICT there is no keep alive outside of bouncing the ball more, which resets the timer. After that, the ball just shuts down until bounced again. That makes this less than useful for WebBluetooth, which requires user gesture reconnects every time the device disconnects. I'm not sure if there's a protocol based keepalive yet.

Why isn't it just named masteramillion?

That's a trademarked term, and naming packages like that can get a little dicey sometimes. In lieu of having to change the name later, I just made it something vaguely close for now.
