How to use

import Daemon from 'arduino-create-agent-js-client';

const daemon = new Daemon('https://builder.arduino.cc/v3/boards');

daemon.agentFound.subscribe(status => {
  // true / false
});

daemon.channelOpenStatus.subscribe(status => {
  // true / false
});

daemon.error.subscribe(err => {
  // handle err
});

// List available devices (serial/network)
daemon.devicesList.subscribe(({serial, network}) => {
  const  serialDevices = serial;
  const  networkDevices = network;
});

// Open serial monitor
daemon.openSerialMonitor('port-name');

// Read from serial monitor (ouputs string)
daemon.serialMonitorMessages.subscribe(message => {
  console.log(message);
});

// Read from serial monitor, output object with source port name
/*
  {
    "P": "dev/ttyACM0",
    "D":"output text here\r\n"
  }
*/
daemon.serialMonitorMessagesWithPort.subscribe(messageObj => {
  console.log(messageObj);
});

// Write to serial monitor
daemon.writeSerial('port-name', 'message');

// Close serial monitor
daemon.closeSerialMonitor('port-name');

// Upload sketch on serial target (desktop agent and chrome app)
daemon.uploadSerial(target, sketchName, compilationResult, verbose);

// Upload sketch on network target (daesktop agent only)
daemon.uploadNetwork(target, sketchName, compilationResult);

// Upload progress
daemon.uploading.subscribe(upload => {
  console.log(status);
});

// Download tool
daemon.downloadTool('toolname', 'toolversion' 'packageName', 'replacement');

// Download status
daemon.downloading.subscribe(download => {
  console.log(download);
});

Version 2

Version 2 of the arduino-create-agent aims to provide a cleaner api based on promises. It will remain confined to a v2 property on the daemon object until it will be stable. At the moment it only supports tool management.

daemon.agentV2Found.subscribe(daemonV2 => {
  if (!daemonV2) {
    // Your Agent doesn't support v2
  }
  // Your Agent supports v2
});

daemon.v2.installedTools()
  .then(tools => console.debug(tools)) // [{"name":"avrdude","version":"6.3.0-arduino9","packager":"arduino"}]

let payload = {
  name: 'avrdude',
  version: '6.3.0-arduino9',

Development and test features

Just run npm run dev and open your browser on http://localhost:8000

Agent communication

To enable communication between your local installation and the Arduino Create Agent add origins = http://localhost:8000 on your agent config.ini file (if you are using https, add origins = https://localhost:8000).

• On macOs ~/Applications/ArduinoCreateAgent/ArduinoCreateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/config.ini
• On Linux ~/ArduinoCreateAgent/config.ini
• On Windows C:\Users\[your user]\AppData\Roaming\ArduinoCreateAgent
