Urg library for node.js

Currently, the library only implement the basic functions of reading lidar data and is only work on Linux and Mac.
I only test this on UTM-30LX. More testing appreciated.
Future work
Write build files files for Windows so the library can be used on Windows.
Implement more advanced functions.
API
getXY(laserPortName)
laserPortName
is a string of the port e.g. '/dev/ttyS2'- return a promise, when success, will contain a 2d array in the following form :
[[x0, y0], [x1, y1]...]
urg_angle_dist(laserPortName)
- return a promise, when success, will contain an object of
{distance: [...], angle: [...]}
- return a promise, when success, will contain an object of
