Control Pi-Cubes DO4 Module

var pic = require('node-picubes');

pic.writeDO(1,1,1,function(err){
	            if (err) console.log(err);
   	          });
			  
pic.writeDOSync(1,1,1);

picubes.writeDO(module, output, value, callback) - Async version

picubes.writeDOSync(module, output, value ) - Sync version

module - Module address(1 - 6)
output - Output number(1 - 4)
value - Digital output value :
- 0 = Off
- 1 = On
callback - The callback gets one argument (err).

Control Pi-Cubes UO4 Module

var pic = require('node-picubes');

pic.writeUO(1,1,0,1,function(err){
	              if (err) console.log(err);
   	             });
pic.writeUOSync(1,1,0,1);

picubes.writeUO(module, output, type, value, callback) - Async version

picubes.writeUOSync(module, output, type, value) - Sync version

module - Module address(1 - 6)
output - Output number(1 - 4)
type - Universal output type :
- 0 = Digital Output(0 / 12VDC)
- 1 = Modulation(0 - 10VDC)
- 2 - 255 = Digital otput PWM with this period in sec.
value - Universal output value :
- 0 / 1 = For digital type
- 0 - 100 % = for Modulation / PWM
callback - The callback gets one argument (err).

Read Pi-Cubes UI4 Module

var pic = require('node-picubes');

pic.readUI(3,1,1,function(err,data)
                 {
	                if (err) console.log(err);
                    console.log('Data:'+data);
   	             }
          );
		  
data = pic.readUISync(3,1,1);
if (data != null) console.log('Data:'+data);

picubes.readUI(module, input, type, callback) - Async version

picubes.readUISync(module, input, type) - Sync version

module - Module address(1 - 6)
output - Output number(1 - 4)
type - Input type 0 = Resistance(Return value 0 - 350000)
- 1 = Digital(Return value 0 - 1)
- 2 = Voltage / Current(Return value 0 - 100 % , represent 0 - 10V / 0 - 20mA)
- 3 = 10K Type II Thermistor(Return value - 4000 to 14000, scale 0.01)
- 4 = Pulse Input(Return value is counter value)
callback - The callback gets two argument (err,data).

Read Pi-Cubes CTA Module

var pic = require('node-picubes');

pic.readCTA(1,0,function (err,data)
				   {
				      if (err) console.log(err);
				      console.log('Data:', data);
				   }
				   );
		  
data = pic.readCTASync(1,0);
if (data != null) console.log('Data:'+data);

picubes.readCTA(slave, addr, callback) - Async version

picubes.readCTASync(slave, addr) - Sync version

slave - Modbus slave address for CTA
addr - Holding register address
callback - The callback gets two argument (err,data).

Write to Pi-Cubes CTA Module

pic.writeCTA(1,31,256,function (err)
				   {
				      if (err) console.log(err);
				   }
				   );
		  
data = pic.writeCTASync(1,31,256);
