Simple Polling Mechanism

[ghost]

Hi Patrick,

Great article, the one on Serial communication with NodeJS, but I wanted to ask if you were going to follow up with the "Simple Polling Mechanism" article/post to get the data from the serialPort across into a web browser?

If not, what method would you use? And I'll go away and try this for myself.

"This post is the first post of a new series about JavaScript for embedded devices. This will be the topic of my new book. Any feedback, suggestions and criticism is highly appreciated."

... any further news about the book?

TIA, QH.

Great to hear your feedback! Yes, the next step is using the websocket protocol. I have some examples ready but need to clean them up. It is the idea that is shortly described under "Basic Websockets" here in the book Early Release: https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/nodejs-for-embedded/9781491928981/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=publisher&utm_source=oreilly&utm_content=orm+twitter

By the way, if you are around in the Bay area between 22nd and 26th of June, we could have a beer/coffee.
