node-ina219

Node.js Driver for Adafruit INA219.

This is a direct port to NodeJS from the C code created by Adafuit and posted at https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_INA219 quite some time ago. Looks like the Adafruit code has changed a lot since then, and this hasn't been maintained / reported.

Install

$ npm install ina219

##Usage

  var ina219 = require('ina219');

  ina219.init();
  ina219.enableLogging(true);
  
  ina219.calibrate32V1A(function () {
    
    ina219.getBusVoltage_V(function (volts) {
	  
      console.log("Voltage: " + volts);
      ina219.getCurrent_mA(function (current){
  			
        console.log("Current (mA): " + current );
      });	
    });
  });

new Ina219()

Ina219 is the main class exported from the Node module

ina219.init(address, device)

Called to initilize the INA219 board, you should calibrate it after this.

Kind: instance method of Ina219

Param	Type	Description
address	string	Address you want to use. Defaults to INA219_ADDRESS
device	string	Device to connect to. Defaults to "/dev/i2c-1"

ina219.enableLogging(enable)

Enabled debug logging to console.log

Kind: instance method of Ina219

Param	Type	Description
enable	bool	True to enable, False to disable

ina219.writeRegister(register, value, callback)

Reads a 16 bit value over I2C

Kind: instance method of Ina219

Param	Type	Description
register	integer	Register to read from (One of INA219_REG_*)
