//get array of attached HID devices
var connectedHidDevices = getDevices()
 
//print devices
console.log(connectedHidDevices)
 
//initialize new usbScanner - takes optional parmeters vendorId and hidMap - check source for details
var scanner = new usbScanner();
 
//scanner emits a data event once a barcode has been read and parsed
scanner.on("data", function(code){
    console.log("recieved code : " + code);
});
