Write to dongle

The following command ATI will request for device information of the dongle.

Read from dongle

readData method returns a promise and it will read incoming data from the dongle.

portUtils.readData().then((data) => {
        console.log("Data read from serial port:", data);
    });

Waiting time can also be added if required.

portUtils.readData().then((data) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        console.log("Data read from serial port:", data);
      }, 3000);
    });

Example of scannign nearby device command

In this example we first set the dongle into central role. Then we will scan for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds waiting time , we read the data.

portUtils.writeData("AT+CENTRAL").then(() => {
  portUtils.writeData("AT+GAPSCAN=3").then(() => {
    portUtils.readData().then((data) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        console.log("Data read from serial port:", data);
      }, 3000);
    });
  });
});
