synapse-serial-socket

Given a synapse object, create a socket server for the device. This is an accessory module for Serial Synapse.

#Install

npm install serial-synapse-socket

#Example

//Assuming you created a synapse object called synapse

var SynapseServer = require('serial-synapse-socket');
var server = new SynapseServer({
  port: 8080,
  synapse: synapse
});

...That's it!

#Command syntax synapse-serial-socket is expecting incoming messages to always be a JSON formatted message. It requires a command attribute, and and args attribute. If it is a single argument, you can just send it alone. Multiple arguments can be sent in an array in the order they are to be sent.

For example:

{
  "command": "drive",
  "args": 255
}
//OR
{
  "command": "stepDistance",
  "args": [1, 217]
}

#Example

I've put together a quick example using a sub $100 robot you can buy off of Sparkfun.

2 - Your update functions (then) are overridden in this version with one that broadcasts the data to all connected clients.
