Installation

This library is published as a 'npm' package. To install our node package you have two option:

1. Install it directly form npm with the command

   $ npm install yoctolib

   You do ot need to download the zip file from our web site. npm take care of everything. Note: if you want to install is globally you can add the "-g" option.

2. Install it form our web site. You need to download and extract the YoctoLib.nodejs.19938.zip file and extract it. Then you have to install it with the command

   $ npm install -g path_to_the yotolib

Where path_to_yoctolib is the path where you have unziped the package. You can then import the library to your project with

var yoctolib = require('yoctolib');

In order to use the Javascript library, you will probably need to download as well the VirtualHub software for your OS (unless you intend to connect directly to a YoctoHub-Ethernet or a YoctoHub-Wireless).

For more details, refer to the documentation specific to each product, which includes sample code with explanations, and a programming reference manual. In case of trouble, contact [e-mail]

Have fun !

Credits

Thanks to @mrose17 of @TheThingSystem for bootstrapping this library and sharing his Node.js expertise.

P.S.

If you are interested in direct access to USB devices from node.js without using the VirtualHub, Tom Greasley has started a work to compile our low-level C library directly into node.js. This is however still work in progress, and not yet fully supported as this library is. More details on https://github.com/schlafsack/node-yoctopuce
