node-susi

This node.js module supports SUSI driver function from ADVANTECH platform.

Installation

$ npm install node-susi

Usage

This module uses the SUSI driver that requires access to /open/mem. Because of this, you will typically run node with admin privileges.

The first step is initialization(select) specifying the sensor or IO type . It should work for SUSI HWM function. If the initialization succeeds when you can call the read function to obtain the latest readout from the ADVANTECH platform. Readout values contains a temperature...etc property.

First Example

This sample queries the SUSI HWM CPU temperature and displays the result on the console.

var sensorLib = require('node-susi');
var cpuIndex = 0;
 
var sensor = {
    read: function () {
        var readout = sensorLib.getTemperature(cpuIndex);
        console.log('Temperature: ' + readout + 'C');
        setTimeout(function () {
            sensor.read();
        }, 2000);
    }
};
 
sensor.read();
