mraxus / ds18x20.js Goto Github PK

ds18x20 cannot be currently installed with node.js 0.12 as execSync module doesn't work with nodejs 0.12 and the author of that module cannot make an update to the module to fix that:
mgutz/execSync#38

This could be fixed by, for example, using sync-exec module instead.

The isDriverLoaded() function is no longer working properly. It returns false even if the driver is loaded properly.

Howto reproduce:

var sensor = require('ds18x20');

if (sensor.isDriverLoaded()){
    console.log("Sensor Driver is not loaded! To load the driver, run: sudo modprobe w1-gpio && sudo modprobe w1-therm");
    process.exit(1);
}

sensor.list(function (err, listOfDeviceIds) {
    console.log(listOfDeviceIds);
});

var tempObj = sensor.getAll();
console.log(tempObj);

Load the driver and run it. It will still exit. Then try again, but comment or remove the process.exit() line.
isDriverLoaded will still return false, but i will get my devices and temps even so.

All this is only the case with the new version with kernel upgrade (raspberry pi 2). I used the help on this page: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/webiopi/_C7KNiS-aPE to get wire1 working again.
