node-mcp2210-hid

MCP2210 API using node-hid

Installation

Simply run npm install node-mcp2210-hid. Make sure that your current user has proper access to the HID device.

Examples

$3

This example opens the first MCP2210 found on your computer
``
var mcp2210 = require('node-mcp2210-hid'),
devices = mcp2210.getDevices();
if(devices.length > 0){
var dev = devices[0].open();
console.log('Successfully opened ' + dev.config.productName + ' by ' + dev.config.manufacturerName);
}
`

The following example sets GP2 to the input of GP1 and toggles GP0 every 500ms.
`
var mcp2210 = require('node-mcp2210-hid'),
devices = mcp2210.getDevices();
if(devices.length > 0){
var dev = devices[0].open(),
ram1 = dev.ram1;
ram1.gpio[0].designation = mcp2210.pinDesignation.GPIO;
ram1.gpio[1].designation = mcp2210.pinDesignation.GPIO;
ram1.gpio[2].designation = mcp2210.pinDesignation.GPIO;
ram1.gpio[0].defaultDirection = mcp2210.pinDir.OUT;
ram1.gpio[1].defaultDirection = mcp2210.pinDir.IN;
ram1.gpio[2].defaultDirection = mcp2210.pinDir.OUT;
dev.ram1 = ram1;

var interval = setInterval(function(){
var curr = dev.gpio.current;
curr[2] = curr[1];
curr[0] = (curr[0] + 1) % 2;
dev.gpio.current = curr;
}, 500);
}
`

This example transfers some bytes. By adding a jumper between MOSI and MISO, you get a very simple loopback test.
`
var mcp2210 = require('node-mcp2210-hid'),
devices = mcp2210.getDevices();
if(devices.length > 0){
var dev = devices[0].open(),
ram2 = dev.ram2,
buffer = [];

// set number of bytes to transmit
ram2.bytesPerTransaction = 11;
dev.ram2 = ram2;

// start transfer
dev.transfer([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10], function(err, status, data){
if(err){
console.log(err);
}
Array.prototype.push.apply(buffer, data);
if(status === mcp2210.transferStatus.SUCCESS){
console.log('transfer done, received the following data:', buffer);
}
});
}
