QUESTION
Is there any way to define a hid device by using its serial number? I have several code readers with the same vendor and product ID. Now I'm using a device path but it is also not the best way (the path is not static, it sometimes changes during system startup).
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-27 at 08:25There is no way to define hid devices directly by its Serial number, but it can be done other hand.
According to node-hid- documentation:
Picking a device from the device list
If you need to filter down the HID.devices() list, you can use standard Javascript array techniques:
QUESTION
i'm bulding an application on Raspberry PI 4 1GB RAM basing on webserver, reading data from hid devices and serialport using express, node-hid-stream and serialport libs. Everything works fine with 3 hid devices, but after adding the fourth device application is terribly slowing down(starting web server in 5-10minutes, serial port isn't even opening). Raspberry RAM consumption is around 700MB during running applications with 3 and 4 hid devices, only app is lagging, data from all hid devices is available.
According to node-hid documentation:
This is not a limitation of node-hid but a limitation of all user-space libraries. This is a security feature of the OS to prevent input device snooping.
Maybe this is a problem.
Some sample of code:

process.env.UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE=10
This will set the environment variable UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE to 10
The default value is "4" and maximum is 1024
QUESTION
Good Morning!
I'm trying to get a USB Barcode scan into a single array or even better yet a JSON object, but I can't figure out how to turn this multi-character buffer into an object.
Below is the Raw HID stream coming from the Scan (Zebra LS2208)
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Mar-15 at 03:25In case someone else comes around and has a similar problem, I found the solution to my problem.
With the USB Scanner I was using, a Zebra LS2208, it comes with multiple scanning modes which can be set by scanning a bar code. Over the last day, I've been using it as USB Keyboard (HID) which means each digit in the UPC was a different Key Down/Key Up, which this morning dawned on me.
I scanned the bar code which switched it's scanning mode to IBM HAND-HELD USB and attempted the scan, but I received an error in the code. I didn't change any code and the path of the device was the same, but to double check the device settings, I used the following, which is part of node-hid to check my device settings:
