# cordova-plugin-balance-board

Cordova plugin to connect to the Wii Fit Balance Board. You can use the Balance Board to get weight measurements with your app or as a controller for games.

This plugin is **only compatible with Android <= 4.1.x**, because newer Android versions no longer support l2cap bluetooth connections (see https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58164).

This is just a small wrapper around the bluetooth communication code of the [fitscale](https://github.com/paulburton/fitscales) app by [paulburton](https://github.com/paulburton) so all credit should go to him for doing the hard work.

## Instalation

```bash

cordova plugin add https://github.com/BrackCurly/cordova-plugin-balance-board.git

```

## Usage

You have to press the red button under the battery cover of your Balance Board than you can connect with it.

## API

### Initialization

```javascript

// call before you can interact with the Balance Board

// rescanns for bluetooth devices until Balance Board is found or balanceBoard.disconnect is called

balanceBoard.connect()

// call to close connection with Balance Board

balanaceBoard.disconnect();

```

### Events

```javascript

balanceBoard.on('discovered', function () {

console.log('balance board has been discovered');

});

balanceBoard.on('connecting', function () {

console.log('started connecting with balance board');

});

balanceBoard.on('connected', function () {

console.log('connected to balance board');

});

balanceBoard.on('disconnected', function () {

// known issue: this event is only triggered if the Balance Board is disconnected properly

// not if the power is turned of

console.log('balance board disconnected');

});

balance.board.on('data', function (data) {

// weight applied at each point in kg

// hint: you have to zeroize the data yourself

var tl = data.topLeft;

var tr = data.topRight;

var bl = data.bottomLeft;

var br = data.bottomRight;

// to calculate the total weight just add everything up;

var weight = tl + tr + bl + br;

console.log("measured weight: %i kg", weight);

});

```
