soundweb v0.1.2

soundweb

A Node library to interface with Soundweb devices via the RS232 serial port

It currently requires ser2net (or similar) to make the serial port data available via TCP.

The library has been tested on a BSS 3088 device, interfacing with a CentOS linux box.

ser2net setup

For the machine's first serial port, add the following line to ser2net (to listen on port 2000):

2000:telnet:0:/dev/ttyS0:38400

Usage

The controls must be copied to the 'serial' window in Soundweb Designer in order for their data to be output.

var swclient = soundweb.createClient({host:'localhost', port:2000});

swclient.on('SET_VALUE', function(data) {
  console.log(data); // {group: 'SW_AMX_LEVEL', id: 1, value: 124}
});

swclient.SET_VALUE('SW_AMX_SOURCE', 6, 2);
