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 🙏

Parport2.JS

Parport2.js is a Node.JS addon you can use to access, control and communicate with parallel ports. It uses kernel macros inb and outb to provide a low-level interface to the parallel port under Linux.

npm install parport2

This addon is an adaption of Xavier Mendez's parport addon (https://npmjs.org/package/parport).

Changes

  • Matheus Neder's parallel-port library was replaced by an own implementation providing the same API.
  • Built-Scripts were changed to include the new library.

All other parts are unchanged and were written by Xavier Mendez.

License

Parport.js ist released under the GPL, so Parport2.js is distributed under GPLv3 as well.

Usage

var par = require('parport2');

var port = new par.Port(0x2000);

port.writeControl(32); // Set data byte to input
console.log('Data:', port.readData());
port.writeControl(0); // Set data byte to output
port.dataWrite(241);

For low level access to the parallel port, root privileges are necessary.

Control bit 8 (byte value 32) will toggle between input and output mode of data byte.

Compatibility

Important: Only work under Linux!
