Make sure you installed the ftdi driver: ftdi
If you're are using a Linux distribution or Mac OS X you can run the install.sh script file to install the ftdi driver... For Windows the libs are shipped with this module.
npm install ftdi
This assumes you have everything on your system necessary to compile ANY native module for Node.js. This may not be the case, though, so please ensure the following are true for your system before filing an issue about "Does not install". For all operatings systems, please ensure you have Python 2.x installed AND not 3.0, node-gyp (what we use to compile) requires Python 2.x.
Ensure you have Visual Studio 2010 installed. If you have any version OTHER THAN VS 2010, please read this: nodejs/node-gyp#44
Ensure that you have at a minimum the xCode Command Line Tools installed appropriate for your system configuration. If you recently upgrade OS, it probably removed your installation of Command Line Tools, please verify before submitting a ticket.
Verify that it is installed by running xcode-select --install
You know what you need for you system, basically your appropriate analog of build-essential. Keep rocking!
If you the vendorId and productId are both zero you have to unload the driver before using your node app like this:
rmmod ftdi_sio
rmmod usbserial
var ftdi = require('ftdi');
ftdi.find(0x27f4, 0x0203, function(err, devices) {}); // returns all ftdi devices with
// matching vendor and product id
var ftdi = require('ftdi');
var device = new ftdi.FtdiDevice({
locationId: 0,
serialNumber: 0
});
// or
var device = new ftdi.FtdiDevice(0); // index in list function
var ftdi = require('ftdi');
ftdi.find(0x27f4, 0x0203, function(err, devices) {
var device = new ftdi.FtdiDevice(devices[0]);
device.on('error', function(err) {
});
device.open({
baudrate: 115200,
databits: 8,
stopbits: 1,
parity: 'none',
// bitmode: 'cbus', // for bit bang
// bitmask: 0xff // for bit bang
},
function(err) {
device.on('data', function(data) {
});
device.write([0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05], function(err) {
});
});
});
bitmask: Is always a number (one byte).
bitmode: Can be directly a number (one byte) like 0x20 or a string like 'cbus'.

Error message: Can't open ftdi device: FT_DEVICE_NOT_OPENED
Try to unload the Apple FTDI Driver by running the following command:
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
- Add support for node v4, v5
- added bit bang support
- revert "ready for node >= 0.11.4"
- fix allocation/deallocation mismatch
- ready for node >= 0.11.4
- first release
