HID MIRROR

Mir:ror node driver module providing utility methods to listen RFID tags (ISO/IEC 14443 Type A or B) such as nano:ztag or ztamps.

It automatically detects the mir:ror when it is connected to your USB port, using a configurable time interval (default 5sec)

The driver includes the following utility functions : start use it to start the driver stop use it to stop the driver

You get the following events from the driver : hidm_started indicate that the driver is ready to use hidm_stopped indicate that the driver is off hidm_up notify that the mir:ror is in the orientation 'up'
hidm_down notify that the mir:ror is in the orientation 'down' hidm_in notify a RFID tag entered on the mir:ror (detected in) with data being the identifier of the RFID tag hidm_out notify a RFID tag left the mir:ror (detected out) with data being the identifier of the RFID tag

Although the product is now end of life and no more used, you can find some information about violet mir:ror here : Violet's Mirr:or: Internet of Things Via RFID mir:ror

Installation

  npm install hidmirror --save

Usage

var mirror = new HidMirror (); 
mirror.start(); 
mirror.on("hidm_up", function (data){
    console.log("-> mir:ror up");
}); 

mirror.on("hidm_down", function (data){
    console.log("-> mir:ror down");
}); 
mirror.on("hidm_in", function (data){
    console.log("-> mir:ror RFID IN --> ID =>> "); console.log(data);
}); 
mirror.on("hidm_out", function (data){
    console.log("-> mir:ror RFID OUT --> ID =>> "); console.log(data);
}); 
mirror.on("hidm_started", function (data){
    console.log("-> mir:ror READY "); 
}); 
mirror.on("hidm_stopped", function (data){
    console.log("-> mir:ror STOPPED "); 
}); 

env variables

You may configure the following variables, at your convenience :

# detection interval (default is 2000 ms) : check if mir:ror device is connected every X ms
export HIDM_DETECT_INTERVAL=5000 
# auto restart (default is true) : if the device connection stops then it automatically restarts
export HIDM_AUTO_RESTART=false
