A module to abstract communications and control of the TinyG from node.

tinyg-node's Issues

TinyG reported an error reading '{"clr":null}'

When I open tinyG in node on my rpi3 I immediately get 2 errors thrown from the tinyG.

error { [TinyGResponseError: TinyG reported an error reading '{"clr":null}': 100 (based on 13 bytes read)] name: 'TinyGResponseError', message: 'TinyG reported an error reading \'{"clr":null}\': 100 (based on 13 bytes read)', data: { r: { clr: null }, f: [ 1, 100, 13, 4451 ] } } error { [TinyGResponseError: TinyG reported an error reading '{"clr":null}': 100 (based on 13 bytes read)] name: 'TinyGResponseError', message: 'TinyG reported an error reading \'{"clr":null}\': 100 (based on 13 bytes read)', data: { r: { clr: null }, f: [ 1, 100, 13, 4451 ] } }

my code looks like this

` g.removeAllListeners();
g.on('error', function (error) {
console.log('error ');
console.log(error);

});
 g.open('/dev/ttyUSB0');`

So it is already from the first connection and after pressing the RESET button. I dont have the idea that it is doing something wrong but i would like to know what causes this and how to resolve

Kind regards and thx for this awesome project.

Serialport 2.1.2 too old

SerialPort is on 4.0.6

this module still depends on a custom 2.1.2 version

Installing as a depency in a newer project leads to lifecycle errors since 2.1.2 is end of life

Using RTS/CTS flow control

Hi there,

I noticed in the source the tinyg object initializes a 'RTSCTS' default but I'm not clear on how to actually use this flow control in an application. Also, in the tinyg documentation it mentions XON/XOFF for software flow control. In the case of using this library, is RTS/CTS the preferred flow control technique? Thanks for your help in advance!

Install fails on Mac and RaspberryPi

Installing this library on both my mac (with node 4.1.1) and raspberry pi (with node 4.2.1) yeilds almost the same message. Is there a trick to getting this installed? Looks like a nice lib!
