Downloading

If you are familiar with git I would suggest that you clone this repository as you would normally.

If you would rather not work with git, you can press the download button on the right. Or click this link. Just extract the zip file and navigate to it in terminal.

Install Node & Dependencies

If you are on a Mac, please install Node through homebrew.

brew install node

Once installed, navigate to the root of this repository in terminal. There you need to setup the libraries that this depends on, just run:

npm install

(Note that an internet connection is required for both of these steps.)

This will setup noble and a few helper libraries. Noble handles all Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity, and the majority of this code interfaces with its functions.

Running

Connect to any Beans in the area.

node connect.js

Connect to device names that you specify explicitly, don't forget the quotes.

node connect.js "device1name" "device2name"

Exiting

To exit, in terminal, press control + c this will disconnect from the Beans cleanly.

Output

The script will connect to any Bean it can find, and read data from each of the characteristics. It will then write OSC packets to the port listed in port-record/mpr.edn under the :processing-bean key. Just listen to this port to see data.
