dispenser.on('stock.empty', () => { console.log('stock bay is empty'); })
dispenser.on('service.unavaliable', () => { console.log('The Dispenser is unavaliable'); })
dispenser.on('service.avaliable', () => { console.log('The Dispenser is avaliable now!'); })

Port discovery

The autoDiscovery option will make the instance search all available COM ports automatically until it finds a valid connection.

// This instance will try to connect to the COM4 port
// If the port isn't available it will start the automatic search

let dispenser = new MT166({ port: 3, debug: true, autoDiscovery: true });
