Example

Javascript

const linuxduino = require('linuxduino');

// Testing SPI beginTransaction
(async() => {
  // Wait for wasm file
  await linuxduino.ready;
  
  // Open SPI port
  SPI = new linuxduino.SPI();
  SPI.begin("/dev/spidev0.0");

  // Set SPI Settings
  settingsA = new linuxduino.SPISettings(linuxduino.SPI_CLOCK_DIV64, 
    linuxduino.MSBFIRST, linuxduino.SPI_MODE3);

  // Send Hello World! every second
  buff = Buffer.from("Hello World!\n");
  var ret;
  while(1) {
    SPI.beginTransaction(settingsA);
    // Note in SPI the last character will not be printed here. 
    // In SPI you recieve what you sent previously. 
    for(var i=0; i<buff.length; i++) {
      ret = SPI.transfer(buff[i]); // Transmit and receive one byte
      process.stdout.write(String.fromCharCode(ret));
    }
    SPI.endTransaction();
    process.stdout.write('\n');
    linuxduino.delay(1000); // delay 1 sec.
  }
  
  SPI.end();
})();
