reset-usb

reset-usb

reset a usb device. simulate plug/unplug.

var reset = require("reset-usb")

reset('/dev/bus/usb/002/007',function(err,data){
  console.log(err,data);
  if(!err) console.log('success!');
})

you can also specify the path to a usb serial tty device and ```tty-to-usb-device`` will find it for you.

var reset = require("reset-usb")
reset('/dev/ttyACM0',function(err,data){
  console.log(err,data);
  if(!err) console.log('success!');
})

and the bad news.

• requires linux. ioctls are supported in different ways cross platform. it would be nice for this to work on osx.
• requires sudo. usb devices are owned by root. you have to be root to restart them =(
