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 🙏

tessel-gpio-relay

JavaScript driver for Tessel, to connect with multi-port relays via GPIO

Using this mainly with SainSmart relays, which are a more sturdy and powerful alternatives to the default tessel relay module

Installation

npm install tessel-gpio-relay

Example

Video: Tessel2 drives a SainSmart 4-channel relay via GPIO

Should work roughly the same as Tessel's relay-mono. The main difference, that you have to provide the pin addresses in an array, see below:


var tessel = require('tessel');
var relaylib = require('tessel-gpio-relay'); 

var relay = relaylib.use(tessel.port['A'], [1,2]);  

relay.on('ready', function relayReady () {

  setInterval(function toggle() {
    
    relay.toggle(1, function toggleOneResult(err) {
      if (err) console.log("Err toggling 1", err);
    });
    
    relay.toggle(2, function toggleTwoResult(err) {
      if (err) console.log("Err toggling 2", err);
    });
    
  }, 2000);
  
});

relay.on('latch', function(channel, value) {
  console.log('latch on relay channel ' + channel + ' switched to', value);
});

Configuration

channels {Array}

switchState {String} 'high|low'

Some relays switch from default state when set to high value on the GPIO pins, and some are the opposite, they trigger switch state from default on the low value.

For example the official Tessel relay modules switch from default off to on at a high pin value, while the SainSmart relay modules do this on the low state.

To handle this, you can configure the module, to which value (high|low) to use for the ON state, which is always passed in the methods as a truthy value.

Usage

You have to provide the pin addresses in an array for the Relay instance. Numeric addresses starting from 1, examples:


// to use the official tessel relay module
var relay = relaylib.use(tessel.port['A'], [5,6]); 

// hook a 2 channel relay on pin 1,2
var relay = relaylib.use(tessel.port['A'], [1,2]); 

// hook a 4 channel relay on pin 1,2,3,4
var relay = relaylib.use(tessel.port['A'], [1,2,3,4]); 

relaylib.use(tesselPort, channels, [callback])

returns a Relay instance

new relaylib.Relay(tesselPort, channels, [callback])

create a Relay instance directly

Methods

relay.getState( relayChannel, [callback(err, state)] )

Gets the state of the specified relay channel: "true" for on and "false" for off.

relay.toggle( relayChannel, [callback(err)] )

Switches the state of the specified relay channel: on if it's off; off if it's on.

relay.turnOff( relayChannel, [callback(err)] )

Switches off the specified relay channel.

relay.turnOn( relayChannel, [callback(err)] )

Switches on the specified relay channel.

Events

relay.on( 'error', callback(err) )

Emitted upon error.

relay.on( 'latch', callback(channel, state))

Emitted when the latch state (boolean on or off ) is changed for a channel.

relay.on( 'ready', callback() )

Emitted upon first successful communication between the Tessel and the module.
