GitHub - comsolid/rc4pt-node: Node middleware that reads the serial port and parse the commands sended by the IR remote controller.

Node middleware that reads the serial port and parse the commands sended by the IR remote controller.

Work together with rc4pt-arduino.

Installation

Make sure your user is in these groups:

dialout
tty

To add your user to these groups:

sudo adduser $(echo $USER) dialout
sudo adduser $(echo $USER) tty

Hint: if you install the Arduino IDE using apt-get your user will already be added to the groups above.

sudo apt-get install arduino

Clone or download this project.

Extract the project on your directory of node projects, say it's ~/NodeProjects then,

cd ~/NodeProjects/rc4pt-node
npm i
npm run start

Obs.: If you want to edit the code and see a live reload use npm run monitor.

It uses nodemon to do this, so install nodemon globally: npm i -g nodemon.

Configuration

Before you start using you need to check the configuration file, located at popcorn/config.js. It comes with the default values that comes with PopcornTime.

The rc4pt-node tries to guess the port automatically,

if found just one, it just connect;
if more than one is found, show a list for you to choose.

PopcornTime

You can download Popcorntime at the Official Page.
