Tracking multiple devices

[invaderb]

Greetings,

I'm starting to get the hang of the library and created a custom adapter for my GPS device and have it sending data however is it possible to track multiple different devices at the same time?

Lets say I have my GPS device and the TK103 in the index.js under the var options = {
'debug' : false,
'port' : 8090,
'device_adapter' : "TK103",
'device_adapter' : "AB100"
}
However what ever is set as the last device_adapter is what the app is looking for.

any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to listen for a different device, you have to start a new server listening another port.

So would it be possible to display multiple devices on a map with this library?

Yes, you can, but you need to different servers to listen for different types of devices. In one nodejs app you can have those two servers running simultaneously

Hmm ok I think I understand

So there are two files that make up the node server
index.js and main.js in gps-tracking/lib

in the index.js
I'm assuming it would look something like this?
var server1 = app.listen(3000);
var server2 = app.listen(3000);

var options1 = {};
var options2 = {};

var server1 = gps.server1(options1 ......... ;
var server2 = gps.server(options2 .......... ;

would I also need to duplicate the main.js file as well and require is with the module export?

Another question what do the functions export to in the functions.js file?

Upon further searching socket io should be able to do asynchronous IO on one port but still not sure how to handle the multiple devices.
