RFID-Chafon

I recently bought a usb rfid reader. The "driver" and the "app" were propietaries solutions for windows xp and not usable by mac or linux. So I decided to reverse engineer the protocol and implement this small node js lib.

Installation

$ npm install debug

Usage

Example readtag.js:

var RFID = require('./index');

let rfid = new RFID('/dev/tty.usbserial');

rfid.open()
    .then(() => {
        return rfid.read().then(result => {
            console.log(result);
            rfid.close();
        });
    }).catch(e => {
        console.error(e);
        rfid.close();
    });

Example writetag.js:

var RFID = require('./index');

let rfid = new RFID('/dev/tty.usbserial');

rfid.open()
    .then(() => {
        return rfid.write().then(result => {
            console.log(result);
            rfid.close();
        });
    }).catch(e => {
        console.error(e);
        rfid.close();
    });
