# Muse Direct  [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/musedirect.svg?style=flat-square)](https://npmjs.org/musedirect)

Provides an event-based interface to OSC data sent by [Muse Direct](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/muse-direct/9p0mbp6nv07x).

## Installation

```sh
npm install musedirect --save
```

## Usage

```js
// Import class
const Muse = require("musedirect");

// Create new instance listening at 127.0.0.1:7000
let muse = new Muse("/Person0", "127.0.0.1", 7000);

// Create event listeners; see list of events below
muse.on("open", () => {
	// ...
});

// Start listening
muse.start();
```

### Note about OSC paths

As of Muse Direct on Windows version 0.19.1, the default OSC output uses message addresses with the format `Person0/eeg/0`, where `Person0` is the name of the Muse device. **This will cause issues with osc.js**, as paths without a leading slash are not considered valid. There are two workarounds for this:

1. Change the name of the device to begin with a leading slash (e.g. `Person0` → `/Person0`), then pass the string `"/Person0"` as the `prefix` parameter to the `Muse` class constructor.

2. Disable the default OSC output and create a new one. Set the prefix to a custom text value, which will be the `prefix` string passed to the `Muse` class constructor. This can be en empty string as well, which is the default value for `prefix`. If the prefix is not empty, then it must begin with a slash such that the resulting OSC paths also have a leading slash.

## API

### Note about Muse SDK docs

As of March 2019 [support for the Muse SDK has ceased](https://choosemuse.com/development/), meaning the links to the SDK docs throughout this readme are broken for the time being. Please see [this archived version of the SDK docs](https://web.archive.org/web/20180810185048/http://developer.choosemuse.com/tools/windows-tools/available-data-muse-direct).

### `Muse` class

The `Muse` class extends `EventEmitter`. See [Node.js Events docs](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter) for inherited functionality.

#### `new Muse(prefix="", address="127.0.0.1", port=7000)`

Constructor. In order to receive data, `.start()` must be called. `address` and `port` correspond to the UDP configuration in Muse Direct. `prefix` is the name that may be added by Muse Direct before each OSC address (see the note above regarding OSC paths).

#### `.start()`

Begins listening for OSC messages on the UDP port specified in the constructor. This is synchronous and will block the thread until the connection is closed using `.stop()`. For this reason, make sure all of your event listeners are defined before starting.

#### `.stop()`

Closes the UDP port.
