How to use the 'node_helper', 'serialport'

Ok, the fundamental problem is what happens in getDom()…

until getDom() returns this modules contribution to the single web page… that content is NOT IN the DOM… It is just in memory in your module.

so the jquery $(button) will not work. ($ means document.) and the content is NOT IN the document… (yet)

SO, you could change to use the non jquery

button.addEventListener('click', ()=> {
   	
   	//$(button).on("click", function(){
   		if(self.hidden){
   		//	$(overlay).fadeIn(1000);
   		//	$(button).fadeTo(1000, 0.3);
   		//	$(text).html('OFF');
                               Log.log("button pushed 'on' ")
   			self.hidden = false;  
   			self._isPushed = false;
   		}else{
   		//	$(overlay).fadeOut(1000);
   		//	$(button).fadeTo(1000, 1);  
   		//	$(text).html('ON');
                               Log.log("button pushed 'off' ")
   			self.hidden = true;
   			self._isPushed = true;
   		}
   	});
   	return wrapper;

but… all the data elements button, overlay and text will be long gone by the time the button is pushed.
so you will have to redesign finding them again (document.getElementByID()… or something, a different jquery selector.)

OR

you can push the jquery code off into a timeout handler (wait a second or 2)…
but you will still have to redesign how to find the button… as its data element on the stack of getDom() will be long gone.

think of getDom() as a person taking notes… they write it down on their notepad.
then LATER they edit a big document and add their text…

until they complete that task, you can search thru the big document all u want, the text will NOT be there…

when I used the sample above, the button responded…

u know you can open the developers window (npm start dev) and select the console window,
and messages from the module_name.js will show there

message from the node_helper will appear in the terminal window where u issued npm start dev & (note the & at the end to allow the prompt to come back)…

const NodeHelper = require('node_helper')
const Serialport = require("serialport");

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({

  start: function () {
  },

  socketNotificationReceived: function (notification, payload) {

    if (notification === 'CONFIG') {
      const self = this;
      self.config = payload;
    }
    else if(notification ==='BUTTON_PRESSED')
    {
    var serialport = new Serialport('/dev/ttyACM0', {   
		baudRate: 9600
		});

    var led = 0;

      serialport.open(function () {
        console.log('connect...');
        serialport.on('data', function(data) { // 아두이노로부터 전달된 데이터
          console.log('data received: ' + data);
        });
        
        if(this._isPushed==false)
        {
          serialport.write("0");
        }
        else if(this._isPushed==true)
        {
          serialport.write("1");
        }
      });
    }
  }, 
})

Thank you very much…!!! Overlay is not important.

It was working as you told me.

Currently, node_helper sets the following, but serial.write does not work. May I ask you one last time?

I’m really desperate:folded_hands_light_skin_tone: :folded_hands_light_skin_tone: :folded_hands_light_skin_tone: :folded_hands_light_skin_tone:

I uploaded the Arduino code.

int led = 13;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
  Serial.println(“hello”);
}

void loop() {
  static int incomingValue = 0; // nodeJS에서 보낸값

  if ( Serial.available() > 0 ) { // 뭔가 입력값이 있다면
    incomingValue = Serial.read();
    Serial.println(incomingValue);
  }
  
  if ( incomingValue == 49 ) { // 값이 ‘1’ 이면
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // LED를 켠다.
  }
  if ( incomingValue == 48 ) { // 값이 ‘0’ 이면
  digitalWrite(13, LOW); // LED를 끈다.
  }
  deayl(2000);
}

   if(this._isPushed==false)

where is _isPushed defined or set?

i know it is in module_name.js, but node_helper cannot see it…

you should send that as the payload on button_pressed message

nhpunch

socketNotificationReceived: function (notification, payload) {

    if (notification === 'CONFIG') {
      const self = this;
      self.config = payload;
    }
    else if(notification ==='BUTTON_PRESSED')
    {
      this._isPushed = payload;
    var serialport = new Serialport('/dev/ttyACM0', {   
		baudRate: 9600
		});

Is that right? I’m really sorry for you.

sdetweil

@nhpunch yes if you send it that way

this.sendSocketNotification(“BUTTON_PUSHED”,this._isPushed)

@sdetweil

false, true works with two button in module

It seems that the value can not be sent to the node_helper

why?

	buttonoff.addEventListener('click', ()=> {
			Log.log("button pushed 'on'")
   			this._isPushed = false;
			console.log(this._isPushed);
   	});
	button.addEventListener('click', ()=> {
			Log.log("button pushed 'off' ")
   			this._isPushed = true;
			console.log(this._isPushed);
   	});

this is module

          serialport.write(this._isPushed==true? '1' : '0');

this is node_helper

nhpunch

@sdetweil

    else if(notification ==='BUTTON_PRESSED')
    {
      this._isPushed = payload;
      console.log(payload);

‘false’ is displayed in the terminal window

._isPushed is passed to node_helper, but I think that the changed value is not sent when the button is pressed.

Please advise…:folded_hands_light_skin_tone: :folded_hands_light_skin_tone: :folded_hands_light_skin_tone:

If this is solved, it’s really a success.:flexed_biceps_light_skin_tone:

nhpunch

._isPushed was sent

but there was an error… im really sad

sdetweil

@nhpunch that is in the node_helper, serial library

looks like serialport.write(data: string|Buffer|Array,

i don’t know anything about serial port api… looks like promise based, so would need callbacks or .then()
