Description
UM34C is a small NodeJS tool to read out and control the UM34C (an probably also the UM24C / UM25C, untested!) USB analyzer via Bluetooth. Get the UM34C device here: Banggood
Install
Just run: npm install
Make sure that bluetooth dev libs are installed. Currently this tool is only tested on Linux.
On Ubuntu run: apt-get install -y libbluetooth-dev
On Opensuse run: zypper install bluez-devel
Usage
When started without command line options the tool will search for a device named "UM34C" and connect to it. The following command line arguments are available:
> ./app.js -h
Usage: app [options]
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-a, --address [AB:90:78:56:36:95] Connect to Bluetooth address
-i, --interval [ms] Data query interval (default 1000ms, min 500ms)
-p, --print Print data on stdout as JSON
-c, --csv Print data on stdout as CSV
-r, --remote Show remote control help
-s, --server [port] Start HTTP / WebSockets server
-h, --help output usage information
Address
When you know the Bluetooth address of your device you can connect to it directly. This will speed up the process of connecting and allows connecting to the device when it is not visible anymore.
Interval
The interval the program will query data from the UM34C in ms. Default interval is 1000ms.
Add this command line argument to print the data values on stdout. Use JQ to pretty print or to filter the data:
Pretty print:
./app.js -a AB:90:78:56:36:95 -p | while read D; do echo $D | jq .; done
Show voltage only:
./app.js -a AB:90:78:56:36:95 -p | while read D; do echo $D | jq .voltage; done
CSV
Use this to output CSV style data on stdout. This will also print the headers as well.
Output to CSV:
./app.js -a AB:90:78:56:36:95 -c > sampleData.csv

Remote
When running commands can be send to the device to control it:
./app.js -r
Press the following keys while the device is connected:
<right>: Switch to next screen
<left>: Switch to previous screen
<r>: Rotate screen Clockwise
<g>: Toggle through groups
<C>: Reset current group (shift+c)
<b>: Change brightness
Server
This will start a HTTP / WebSocket server which currently does not much but showing the data in the console of the browser. Optionally add the listening port, default is 8000.
Data
The following data can be received from the device:
