Robots in the browser. Just like node-serialport but for browser/chrome apps.

browser-serialport's Issues

Align with changes in version 4 of node-serialport

node-serialport changed its API with version 4 (constructor, autoOpen, etc.). Is it planned for browser-serialport to align with those changes ?

close needs to check chrome.runtime.lastError

Probably others too

buffersize option isnt being sent to chrome connect

Probably others

close / disconnect events not firing in win32

I have an App with nwjs (0.15.3) that communicates to an Arduino board using browser-serialport.

When the usb cable is disconnected I get a disconnect and close event on mac64 and win64 platforms, but the same code on win32 platform does not receive any event when the cable is disconnected.

Is there any known incompatibility with win32? (or maybe I am missing something to make it work)

Thanks

Merge with node-serialport via bindings

Hi Folks,
I'm working towards getting our c++ bindings isolated enough that we could switch out serialport implementations in an easier way. This could include the chrome serialport object. I think this is something to talk about because I'm going to be releasing some breaking changes to serialport to improve it's api and it's silly to implement everything twice. I'm thinking maybe we could merge projects.

I've opened serialport/node-serialport#739 to explore the option.

Not finding "Serial Monitor" in Web Store on crouton

I can find "Serial Monitor" in Chrome OS and it runs fine.
But I can't find when I'm searching Web Store for "Serial Monitor" in crouton (https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton).
When I use link to it you have in README, I'm able to install it and it runs.
It doesn't allow opening serial port though. chrome.serial.open() returns -1 as connectionId. This looks like a crouton udev user permission issue as I am able to run "Serial Monitor" when I start Chrome as root.
I tried the latest Chrome Version 30.0.1599.114 (for Ubuntu 12.04, 32 bit).

Still, the question is why can't I find "Serial Monitor" in Web Store on crouton?

browser serial should return sendInfo.bytesSent on write,

Frankly need node-serialport to make native returns consistent first

Timeouts when loading a program with stk500v1 protocol

Hi,

i'm trying to load an Arduino program, in a chrome extension with avrgirl-arduino, but when try to load a big program to an Arduino UNO modified board (mCore board), sometimes (or everytime ) give a timeout when loading an address on verify, or when its programming a page.

Load the same program to an original Arduino UNO always work, no problem, just on this board and just on chrome, if i use avrgirl-arduino on a NodeJS program, always work too.

You know the differences between the nodejs and chome.serial API that maybe, can origin the problem

Any help to debug it better will be appreciated.

Thanks!

The chrome extension code its here, we use avrgirl-arduino and add some code to create a serial monitor.

If you have a mCore board (with a common Arduino UNO always work ) you can test here:

http://beta-bitbloq.bq.com/

Login, and activate the "show under development board and robots" on profile account ( http://beta-bitbloq.bq.com/#/account )

Then go to create a new project, select the robot mBot, and create and load some programs.

Hook up to travis-ci

I don't have access to do this. Would be nice to have CI on the repo.

Typings for TS?

Hi,

are there type definitions for TypeScript somewhere in the wild?
None found with npm install @types/browser-serialport

Bye,
Martin

remove datastring references from readme

datastring has been depreciated as its not in node-serialport

Parsers compat with node-serial

set function doesnt check for callback existence

does chrome handle that safely?

supported by electron?

hello, is browser-serialport supported by electron?

I tried to use the package, but the list ports are null.

Maybe the trouble is permission.

Failure to connect to port

When I start my chrome app

1. sometimes I get a failure to connect error
2. and sometimes I get a malformed header error
   

Are there ways to intercept these errors? Or if I am not asking the question correctly, please tell me what information to provide?

Do I need to convert the module with browserify when use it in client end?

Hi @garrows , do I need to convert the module with browserify?
I convert the module firstly:
browserify index.js > browser-serialport.js
When I try to get the serialPort in the html, but there is error say cannot find:
<script src="require-2.2.0.js"></script>
<script src="browser-serialport.js"></script>
<script>
var SerialPort = require("browser-serialport").SerialPort;
</script>

Where is wrong?

align with with node-serialport errors

https://github.com/garrows/browser-serialport/blob/master/index.js#L190
need serialport/node-serialport#440

Licence?

Hi Glen
Do you have any sort of licence on this? - or is it all just as is.
Best to stick some sort of open licence on it than nothing at all.
Thanks
Steve

can not support ESC/POS "cut paper"

can not support ESC/POS "cut paper" ,but node-serialprt can support

Fix linting errors

Pretty sure some of the linting errors are bugs.

Added jshint to npm test here: https://github.com/garrows/browser-serialport/tree/jshint

Run (subset) of tests against chrome

mocha in browser, headless, and @phated found a link to install extensions from command line

chrome serial api changed on stable

serial api has changed.

Here's a working implementation: https://gist.github.com/monteslu/11151839
