var scale = new Scale({ ttyDevice: '/dev/ttyUSB0', baudRate: 9600 });

scale.on('connect', () => {
   scale.deviceInfo( (err,devInfo) => console.log(`scale: ${devInfo}`) ); // -> "scale: PMA7501-X00V1"
});

scale.on('weight', (err,measure) => {
    if (err) { return console.error(err); }
    console.log( 'weight: ' + measure.weight + + measure.uom ); // -> "weight: 0.0g"
});

scale.open( (err) => {
    if (err) { return console.error('Unable To Connect To Serial Port'); }
  
    // tell the scale to zero itself
    scale.tare( () => {
        scale.weight( (err,measure) => {
           if ( measure.uom === '/lb' ){
                  scale.toggle(); // switch to measuring grams
           }
           scale.monitor(); // emit 'weight' and 'keypress' events whenever the scale changes
        });
    }); 
});

### Note:

We're back!  Sartorius sent me a PMA Evolution! Expect new features soon...


Don't see the Sartorius Scale that you have?
I am willing to add support for other Sartorius lab scales and balances.
Contact me and I'll help you get it added to the supported devices list.
