Hi @bosu1787.

Everything related to sending of the signal is within the file src/RpiGpioRts.js so this is the file you'll need to rewrite to work with pigpio-client.

Looking at the documentation the command names are slightly different, but I think it's a very similar concept and possible. The commands to initialise and send the signal are slightly different in sendCommand. Also the structure of the waveform which is constructed in getWaveform looks to be different. With pigpio it's specified as JSON like { gpioOn: outPin, gpioOff: 0, usDelay: 1000 } but with pigpio-client it looks to be an array like [1, 0, 1000]. It does not look too different.

Let me know how you get on with it. If you hit any issues, share your code (maybe as a fork) and I'll try to help where I can.

Mark
