#Nodule command line app This package provides a command line app for the nodule.io system that runs on any of the platforms supported by noble (currently OS X, Linux, Windows, RaspberryPI, Intel Edison).

##Installation

See specific prerequisites for RaspberryPI/Linux and Windows below.

git clone https://github.com/noduleio/nodule_noble.git
npm install

npm install may take some time as there are several native modules that need to be built.

##Configuration The default config.js file defaults to using the current machine's hostname as the id and name for the nodule client.

var os = require('os');

module.exports = {
	// set a unique id for this client
	unique_id: os.hostname(),
	// give this client a name
	name: os.hostname(),
	// server address
	endPoint: 'wss://app.nodule.io',
	// access token
	accessToken: '<ACCESS_TOKEN>'
}

You can replace os.hostname() with whatever values you choose, though you should make sure unique_id is unique accross all your command line clients.

<ACCESS_TOKEN> should be replaced with an access token that you have generated from here.

##Running To start the client type:

sudo npm start

For information on running without sudo see the noble documentation - Running without root/sudo

RaspberryPI Setup

Make sure your Pi is all up to date:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Install the bluetooth package:

sudo apt-get install bluetooth

Make sure your bluetooth dongle is recognised:

lsusb
hcitool dev

Install node:

wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb

Now proceed with the normal install instructions.

Windows Setup

Out of the box support on windows for Bluetooth dongles is not very good.

You will need a spare Bluetooth4.0 dongle that you can use for nodule.

Then follow the instructions here to get the prerequisites for noble installed.

• node-gyp requirements for Windows
  • Python 2.7
  • Visual Studio (Express)
• node-bluetooth-hci-socket prerequisites
  • Compatible Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter
  • WinUSB driver setup for Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter, using Zadig tool

Make sure to read this if your dongle doesn't seem to be recognised.
