Install
You can install it globally like this as recommendation.
npm install sensorium-server -g
or install locally in your project,
npm install sensorium-server -save-dev
if you update your node version, probably sensorium-server would not work. You just need to update your ss
by npm install sensorium-server -g
to rebuild it.
Usage
Firstly, make sure you have initialized your project. Then complete the JavaScript code to set up connections between your pages and the sensorium-server
tool just like this:
import io from 'socket.io-client';
let socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8800');
socket.on('sensor2web', function (data) {
console.log(JSON.parse(data));
});
let buf = [0xf3, 0x0a, 0x55, 0xf4];
socket.emit('web2sensor', { buf: JSON.stringify(buf) });
Secondly, open your command line and in any file directories(because it can run globally)type in
sensorium-server
or just simply like this,
ss
** You may need connect a USB line to your computer before, or it would fail to start*
when comes the start-up log, it says the connection has been established!
>>> ss
Starting up sensorium-server, serving on port 8800
http://127.0.0.1:8800
Hit CTRL + C to stop the server
Defualtly ss connets to the [0] ports as follows:
[ 0 ] : /dev/tty.wchusbserial1420 √
[ 1 ] : /dev/tty.Makeblock-ELETSPP
[ 2 ] : /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
If there comes an error or no response, you should try to connect to the other port:
ss -s 1
