npm has older v0.0.4, publish v0.0.5 version to npm

Hi, i a trying to control a roomba create 2 through serial port, the connexion and reading sensors work, but motors control don't.

var robot = require("create-oi");
 
robot.init({ serialport: "/dev/ttyUSB0", version: 2 });

robot.on('ready', function() {
        console.log('Ready');
	this.rotate(100); // This don't
});
 
robot.on('bump', function(bumpEvent) {
    console.log(bumpEvent); // This work
});

Any clue how to make it move ?

Hi, I got iCreate2 recently, I pulled down your respository (very good work) and I noticed that the BAUD RATE is hardcoded to 57600 whereas the iRobot create2 default baud is 115200

        serial = new SerialPort(settings.serialport, { baudrate: 57600, bufferSize: 5 });

to 

     serial = new SerialPort(settings.serialport, {
            baudrate: (typeof settings.baudrate === 'undefined') ? 57600 : settings.baudrate,
            bufferSize: 5
        });  

Can you use the init settings to pass it as parameter rather than hardcoding it? I modified locally and it works, if you are okay I can contribute to your project

I am planning provide functions to program songs etc, I can add it if you make me a contributor

Currently the wait time during init steps is hard-coded to 100ms - would be nice if this were an optional argument to the init method.

I am consistently getting this as output...

Any idea why?

I am using the iRobot Create 2

Hello Jeff,
Im using node.js in windows environment. my serial port is COM4. On running the exampl-wander.js file (after editing the seril port).Im getting this message below. And as soon as I stop the program (Cntrl-C in cmd) the create2 goes into spot mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This library does not work with current versions of serialport. I've found a fix (just use require("serialport") instead of require("serialport").SerialPort) and will shortly be submitting a PR. But then the fix should be propagated up to npm, and to avoid future breaking changes the dependency given in package.json should probably be more restrictive.
