Introduction
This is a node module for connecting to ANT+ capable devices through an USB ANT stick. It aims to cover every sensors providing an ANT+ support. It's written in ES6 language.
See http://www.thisisant.com/ for more informations regarding ANT+.
This library works fine on my Debian PC but I will give a try on my Windows desktop and Macbook, RaspberryPI... I hope it will works also. The only requirement is to run the application as a root user.
Requirements
Node.js v6.9.1 LTS
tapinoma is built on top of usb node module which requires an USB library to be installed. Please see https://www.npmjs.com/package/usb

For the moment I use real hardware but I will try the ANT+ simulator in the future.
If you want me to prioritize the implementation of a sensor, please create an issue. You can contribute as well by doing a Pull Request if you are a developer ;-)
