The best solution is to create singleton controller for your LED which will queue all commands and execute them with specified delay:
function LedController(timeout) {
this.timeout = timeout || 100;
this.queue = [];
this.ready = true;
}
LedController.prototype.send = function(cmd, callback) {
sendCmdToLed(cmd);
if (callback) callback();
// or simply `sendCmdToLed(cmd, callback)` if sendCmdToLed is async
};
LedController.prototype.exec = function() {
this.queue.push(arguments);
this.process();
};
LedController.prototype.process = function() {
if (this.queue.length === 0) return;
if (!this.ready) return;
var self = this;
this.ready = false;
this.send.apply(this, this.queue.shift());
setTimeout(function () {
self.ready = true;
self.process();
}, this.timeout);
};
var Led = new LedController();
Now you can call Led.exec
and it'll handle all delays for you:
Led.exec(cmd, function() {
console.log('Command sent');
});
