node-serialport's Issues

Baudrate defaults to 38400

It seems the default baudrate is set to 38400 not 9600 as you say in the wiki. So when I do an npm update, I have to manually edit the serialport.js to set it to 9600. Not a major, issue as can be overridden, but might help to make it easier to use.

doesn't seem to work with Silicon Labs USBtoUART adaptor?

Maybe I'm messing up something - I'm able to talk to an arduino via node-serialport, but not to an industrial stepper motor which is connected via a SiLabs CP210x USB-to-RS485 dongle. There is no data transmitted nor received, the process just seems to wait forever (but without blocking).

I sent and received data via CoolTerm, pySerial/miniterm.py, and even my C reference implementation with exactly the same port configuration (I compared my C code to serialport_native.cc) is working - cf. http://pastie.org/3452151

There is a strange thing I noticed with the following setup:

I start my node.js script, set it to wait for several seconds via a setTimeout after opening the port
I execute my C-Program, within this time, in another terminal
result: after the timeout passes, everything is working fine and data will be transmitted.

Without executing C-program (which seems to do a tiny bit different, although it looks quite the same to your code), no data will be transmitted after the timeout.

I also tried @jaredhanson 's fork in the hope that it might work better with libuv, but to no avail.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a device-dependent incompatibility? These unforeseeable problems with every node-based project will drive me crazy some day... sigh.

Please, take a look - maybe you'll notice something I'm missing.

OS X 10.7.3 node 0.6.9-0.6.11

No serial device error

I would like to create a soft landing for the case of no serial device connected when attempting to use node-serialport. Right now node-serialport works beautifully except, if I start my code and the serial device is not connected then I get this error:

open_port: Unable to open /dev/ttyS0 - : No such file or directory
node: ../deps/libev/ev.c:2668: ev_io_start: Assertion `("libev: ev_io_start called with negative fd", fd >= 0)' failed.
Aborted

I thought the problem was in this line in serialport.js:
this.fd = serialport_native.open(this.port, options.baudrate, options.databits, options.stopbits, options.parity, options.flowcontrol);

So I tried, no pun intended, to put this line in a try catch block like so:

try{
this.fd = serialport_native.open(this.port, options.baudrate, options.databits, options.stopbits, options.parity, options.flowcontrol);
}
catch(e){
me.emit("error", (e ? e :"Could not open port" + e.message));
me.close();
}

No joy. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Code problem? The best solution seems like it should be for the constructor to return null or something so a test of goodness could be done at the point?

Any thoughts would be great. I am a bit new here in node land so I may need a bit of spoon feeding.
Thanks

Issue with installing via NPM

When I try to run NPM install serialport I get a failure with the error below. I am able to install other modules fine, just not serialport. I am relatively inexperienced with linux,node, and npm and need some guidance on this issue.

This is the command that fails in the package.json
"cd serialport_native;node-waf configure build;cp build/default/serialport_native.node ../"

I have node Version 0.4.9 and NPM version 1.0.15 and was trying to install serialport version 0.2.8

lseek() on serial port not allowed

I came here searching about node.js + serial port, so I'm a first-timer on node.js but I think there's a no-sense line on this file: serialport_native/serialport_native.cc

At line 47 you are using lseek() function on the serial port fd, and from "man lseek" I get this information:

ERRORS:
ESPIPE fildes is associated with a pipe, socket, or FIFO.

RESTRICTIONS:
Linux specific restrictions: using lseek on a tty device
returns ESPIPE.

Since serial ports are tty devices. What's the point on using lseek?

As far as I'm concerned, using read() on the serial port will empty the receive FIFO and you'll always get all the content.

Failed to exec install script

When trying to install the duino package on OS X, the installation fails from being unable to run the install script for node-serialport. Here is the log from the installation:

Bindings failing on OS X 10.8

I have xcode installed with command line tools and did node-gyp configure build on node_modules/serialport which also succeeded.

Error: Could not load the bindings file. Tried:

add a user-configurable value for the buffer size

now it's always 255.

Issue

I'm using node 0.2.0

I know it's failing at serialport.js within method SerialPort.prototype.read

data_read = serialport_native.read(this.fd, buff);

Assertion failed: (handle->InternalFieldCount() > 0), function Unwrap, file /usr/local/include/node/node_object_wrap.h, line 28

Most likely related to Node version.

Error: global leak detected: closing

When running a Mocha unit test against a library that uses node-serialport, I hit this error when calling serialPort.close(callback). Mocha has a nice side effect that in addition to being a nice unit test framework, it finds these issues.

May I submit a pull request with a fix?

Opening SerialPort on BeagleBone causes Fatal Error

I'm trying to use the serial ports on a BeagleBone. When I create a new serail port object it immediately crashes with
FATAL ERROR: v8::HandleScope::Close() Local scope has already been closed.

I have run my code on a regular machine and it works properly. So this seems to be an architecture issue (BeagleBone runs on an arm7). I'm not sure where to begin to look for the issue, but I would gladly accept some pointers.

Here is the function where it is failing:

var openSerialPort = function () {
    port = new serialPort.SerialPort (UART_CONFIG.uart1.path, {
        baudRate : 9600,
        parser : serialPort.parsers.raw
    });
    console.log ("Serial Port setup and running...");
    port.on ("data", function (data) {
        port.write (data);  
            console.log (data);
    });
    port.on ('close', function (data) {
        console.log ('serialport closed');
    });
};

If you are interested, this is the rest of the file containing the function.

Request API for DTR

Please consider adding support for changing DTR. DTR is used to reset Arduino. Would be nice to soft reset Arduino when things go wrong. Thanx.

confusion between option names

Unable to set baudrate correctly because option is named "baudrate" but internally in serialport.js, "baudRate" is used. This is the same for other options. Choosing between camelCase or lower case is needed.

Personnally, I'd prefer plain lower case.

Raw Data Timer

Hello, apologies, this is not an issue but a question. I cannot find a forum on node-serialport, so I'm hoping for some guidance here. The trouble I am having is that the node-serialport is too fast! Does anyone know where and how the raw parser decides when it should output a buffer? For me, it seems good at detecting the interval between different 'messages' however on occasion it will split the message into two buffered 'data' events. I'm not sure how the serialport decides when to output the buffer, but I'm hoping to increase the interval --- I'll certainly need to build my own parser, but this would help with some stability and testing. Thank you! Graeme

Is SerialPort.prototype.write non-blocking?

Hi Chris,

Apologies, I'm not familiar with C bindings and just learning nodejs, but from the source I do not see callbacks and am not familiar with the underlying C write() operation being used to know if it is non-blocking. Can you confirm?

For interest, I have an insteon PLM (home automation) parser working that I will contribute alongside the z-wave example once I am confident it is written correctly :)

Thanks

Node exit after new SerialPort()

A bit stumped, node script is causing exit without error on Windows, even when trying to capture unhandled exceptions using the "process.on" trick. Narrowed this behavior down to when I create a new SerialPort object.

System is Windows 7 Pro x64, using latest Node 0.8.3. Built libs using VS Express 2010.

Script works on Mac using same libraries without issue. Removing the new SerialPort() line resolves the issue, script works fine otherwise.

Here is sample program to repro and debug info. I'm not sure where else to look - maybe it's a bad compile, or some kind of 64-bit issue? It seems like the OS might be killing it but I don't see anything in Event Viewer (maybe I need to turn on more options in there?) Any troubleshooting help appreciated.

repro:

var connect = require('connect');
var SerialPort = require('serialport').SerialPort;
var argv = process.argv;

process.on('uncaughtException', function(err) {
console.log(err);
});

var serialPort = new SerialPort();

connect.createServer(
connect.static(__dirname)
).listen(argv[2] || 8082);

Please add opened callback parameter to ctor

I'm writing a library that consumes node-serialport. I've found that if I call serialport.write(...) prior to receiving serialport.on('open') the data is lost without error. Fair enough.

The workaround is to wait for the open event to be received before calling write. This leads to an API design similar in pattern to the jQuery.ready(callback) approach. In node terms, my API looks like:

var serialPortClient = new SerialPortClient(path, options, callback);

internally map callback using:

var serialPort = new SerialPort(path, options);
if (callback) serialPort.once('open', callback);

This solves much of the issue. However it leave in place a potential race condition. What if SerialPort is so fast that the port gets opened between the new SerialPort ctor and the next line of code that hooks the open event?

imho, the best design would be if SerialPort had an API just like SerialPortClient above -- aka that it took as a 3rd parameter a callback function which is called once when the open event is fired. Internally SerialPort should ensure the callback is hooked prior to performing the C++ port open call.

If this design looks reasonable, I'm happy to fork and implement and submit a pull request.

Support for timeout

I would appreciate support for timeout so that the buffer content is sent it the timeout is reached.

Thanks,
David

I've tried a couple different builds of python (stackless and whatever the default one is).

Am I missing something here?

Failed to install on ARM/Raspberry Pi

I tried installing node-gyp globally but no dice. I got it working before with Raspbian/v0.6.9 with @paultag's help but can't get it working with Bodhi + v0.8.7.

Any suggestions?

Serial port disconnect throws a non-catchable fatal error

... or I don't know how to catch it.

How to reproduce : plug an arduino in at /dev/ttyACM1 , begin reading data, disconnect the arduino.

I get :

Error: ENODEV, No such device
at
var bytes_read = serialport_native.read(file_id,buffer);

Installation Error

I've been trying for a few hours now to get this installed under Ubuntu 10.04. I've updated Node, NPM (at first NPM didn't want to acknowledge the existence of the serialport package). Now I'm just starting to get confused, and frustrated.

Node exit after new SerialPort()

System is Windows 7 Pro x64, using latest Node 0.8.3. Built libs using VS Express 2010.

Script works on Mac using same libraries without issue. Removing the new SerialPort() line resolves the issue, script works fine otherwise.

repro:

var connect = require('connect');
var SerialPort = require('serialport').SerialPort;
var argv = process.argv;

process.on('uncaughtException', function(err) {
  console.log(err);
});

var serialPort = new SerialPort();

connect.createServer(
    connect.static(__dirname)
).listen(argv[2] || 8082);

serialport_native.node: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Hi,

I installed the serialport module via npm on an Ubuntu 11.04 64bit machine:
$ uname -a
Linux x-machine 2.6.38-11-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 19:02:55 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ node --version
v0.5.4
$ npm --version
1.0.26

but when trying to use the module it throws an error "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32"

Error: /home/.../node/node_modules/serialport/serialport_native.node: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Is there a workaround to compile as ELFCLASS64 (I presume) or does the serial port module not work on 64bit?

Thanks

not installing in Win 7

SerialPort.close() throws error

When calling SerialPort.close() an error is thrown in serialport.js on line 98:

TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'close'

98 line is:

this.readStream.close();

but readable streams do not have close() method, only destroy().

Intermittent crashes on Win7, exit code -1073741819

It hasn't failed to crash within 5-10 minutes yet, usually faster. No stack trace is printed, node just shuts down with the exit code -1073741819. When you google for it, you'll find that it's Windows code for Access Violation Error. ( 0xC0000005 in hex )

I've been working on a Node.JS module for the RFXtrx433, an USB device that lets you talk to home appliances on the 433.33Mhz frequency. I have no problem with crashes when I'm using the VB.NET code that comes with the device SDK.

Things I've tried:

Run as Administrator
Compatibility mode set to Windows XP / 98
Unplug the FTDI USB com port, and just use the com port on my motherboard

No luck, node still crashes within a couple of minutes.

Does it work without crashing for anyone else on Windows 7 64bit?

multiple ports

i experienced problems while reading from multiple ports simultaneously.
up to 4 ports everything worked fine, when adding a fifth port reading is strange.

Data is only received after another port sent data as well.

Some quick code to test:

var sp = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd1P1.1", global.serialOptions);
sp.on("data", datalistener);

var sp2 = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd1P2.2", global.serialOptions);
sp2.on("data", datalistener);

var sp3 = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd2P1.1", global.serialOptions);
sp3.on("data", datalistener);

var sp4 = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd2P2.2", global.serialOptions);
sp4.on("data", datalistener);

var sp5 = new SerialPort("/dev/tty.USA49Wfd1P3.3", global.serialOptions);
sp5.on("data", datalistener);

Did anyone got similiar results or got an idea how to fix this? thank you.

When i run the tests, I get this:

The "sys" module is now called "util". It should have a similar interface.

What should i do next?

Add a "readline"-like function/event

With a configurable line-delimiter (would be "\r" for the arduino serial port by default)

binding file could not be found

If i start my app including serialport var sp = require('serialport').SerialPort; i get an error from bindings that the bindings file could not be found. Is there a configuration error? It's a fresh install.

Request for SerialPort.flush

I'm working with a device that needs flushed (input and output) after some writes, any chance having a flush() method added?

I'll look into this myself, but I've never worked on a Node extension before.

thanks

Cant find module after npm install

Node.js version : v0.4.0-pre
NPM version: 0.13.15

After installing serialport with npm the module cant be found when its "required"..
