[Feature] Firmata on webusb example
- https://github.com/firmata/firmata.js
- https://github.com/firmata/firmata.js/tree/master/packages/firmata.js
I'm currently focusing on getting osc to work but after that I could also help with firmata if help is still needed.
Though for all these kinds of libraries it would pay off to port node-serialport to the browser. If that's done everything else would just work out of the box. https://github.com/serialport/node-serialport
They have a binding layer where one could start making a binding for webusb.
@PTS93 hiya yep thach needs to look at some other code, so if you want to try firmata implementation that would be cool! there's probably existing code to use :)
@PTS93 Yes, please. I was actually thinking of you when creating this issue. It will take me forever to implement this thanks to my "copy and paste" javascript skill :laughing:
A 'dirty' implementation would probably be fairly straight forward. E.g. clone firmata.js and replace the node-serialport portion.
A proper port that would enable other frameworks (possibly johnny-five) would be much more involved node-serialport is very large and very node.js specific, the build process would likely have to change to accommodate a browser build, right now its all C++ bindings.
Another possible route would be to implement a browser only node-serialport compatible project that could potentially be merged into node-serialport at a later point.
Just wanted to give an update, I was quite busy with other stuff (mostly cccamp) the past weeks. I haven't forgotten about it but I'm currently not actively working on this. Maybe in the coming weeks.
