# **node-lpf2** - A Node.js module to interface with Lego Power Functions 2.0 components.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
Node.js v8.0+ required.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
npm install node-lpf2 --save
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
node-lpf2 uses the Noble BLE library by Sandeep Mistry. On macOS everything should function out of the box. On Linux and Windows there are [certain dependencies which may need installed first](https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble#prerequisites).
|
|
|
|
Note: node-lpf2 has been tested on macOS 10.11 and Debian/Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
|
|
|
|
### Compatibility
|
|
|
|
While most Powered Up and Boost components are compatible, there is limited backwards compatibility with WeDo 2.0. WeDo 2.0 components are fully forwards compatible.
|
|
|
|
| | Type | WeDo 2.0 Smart Hub | Boost Move Hub | Powered Up Hub |
|
|
| ------------------------------- | ------ | ------------------ | -------------- | -------------- |
|
|
| WeDo 2.0 Tilt Sensor | Sensor | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| WeDo 2.0 Distance Sensor | Sensor | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| WeDo 2.0 Medium Motor | Motor | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| Boost Color and Distance Sensor | Sensor | *Some(1)* | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| Boost Interactive Medium Motor | Motor | *Some(2)* | Yes | Yes |
|
|
| Powered Up Train Motor | Motor | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|
|
|
|
<sub>(1) Only color mode is supported on the WeDo 2.0 Smart Hub at this point.</sub>
|
|
<sub>(2) Only basic motor functionality is supported on the WeDo 2.0 Smart Hub at this point. No interactive functionality. In short, it functions like the WeDo 2.0 Medium Motor.</sub>
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const LPF2 = require("node-lpf2").LPF2;
|
|
const lpf2 = new LPF2();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Examples are available in the "examples" directory.
