-## API Reference
-
-### `startListening(config)`
-
-Start monitoring USB device events.
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `config` (Object): Configuration object
-  - `logicalPortMap` (Object, optional): Map physical locations to logical port numbers
-    - Key: Location string (platform-specific format)
-    - Value: Logical port number (integer)
-  - `targetDevices` (Array, optional): Filter specific devices by VID/PID
-    - Each element: `{ vid: string, pid: string }` (hex strings, e.g., "04E8")
-    - Empty array = monitor all devices
-  - `ignoredHubs` (Array, optional): Hub location strings to ignore
-  - `listenOnlyHubs` (Array, optional): Only monitor these hub locations
-
-**Throws:**
-- `TypeError` if config is not an object
-- `Error` if listener is already running
-
-**Example:**
-```javascript
-usbListener.startListening({
-	logicalPortMap: {
-		"Port_#0005.Hub_#0002": 1  // Windows
-		// "Port_#14200000": 1      // macOS
-	},
-	targetDevices: [],  // Monitor all devices
-	ignoredHubs: ["Port_#0001.Hub_#0001"],  // Ignore this hub
-	listenOnlyHubs: []  // No restriction
-});
-```
-
-### `stopListening()`
-
-Stop monitoring and clean up resources. Safe to call multiple times.
-
-**Example:**
-```javascript
-usbListener.stopListening();
-```
-
-### `updateConfig(config)`
-
-Update the listener config at runtime. When listening, subsequent device events and `listDevices()` use the new config. When not listening, only `listDevices()` uses it until the next `startListening()`. Config is fully replaced (use `getCurrentConfig()` to merge).
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `config` (Object): Same shape as `startListening(config)` (logicalPortMap, targetDevices, ignoredDevices, listenOnlyDevices)
-
-**Throws:**
-- `TypeError` if config is not an object
-
-**Example:**
-```javascript
-// Replace config entirely
-usbListener.updateConfig({ logicalPortMap: newMap, targetDevices: [] });
-
-// Merge with current config
-usbListener.updateConfig({ ...usbListener.getCurrentConfig(), logicalPortMap: newMap });
-```
-
-### `getCurrentConfig()`
-
-Return a copy of the current config. Mutating the returned object does not affect the listener's internal config. Use with `updateConfig()` to merge partial changes.
-
-**Returns:** Shallow copy of the current config object (ListenerConfig)
-
-**Example:**
-```javascript
-const current = usbListener.getCurrentConfig();
-usbListener.updateConfig({
-	...current,
-	targetDevices: [...(current.targetDevices ?? []), { vid: "04E8", pid: "6860" }]
-});
-```
-
-### `onDeviceAdd(callback)`
-
-Register callback for device connection events.
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `callback` (Function): Called when device is connected
-  - `deviceInfo` (Object):
-    - `deviceId` (string): Platform-specific device instance ID
-    - `vid` (number): Vendor ID (decimal)
-    - `pid` (number): Product ID (decimal)
-    - `locationInfo` (string): Physical port location (platform-specific format)
-    - `logicalPort` (number|null): Mapped logical port or null
-
-**Example:**
-```javascript
-import { logDataObject } from "@mcesystems/tool-debug-g4";
-
-usbListener.onDeviceAdd((device) => {
-	const vidHex = device.vid.toString(16).toUpperCase().padStart(4, "0");
-	const pidHex = device.pid.toString(16).toUpperCase().padStart(4, "0");
-	logDataObject("Device connected", {
-		device: `${vidHex}:${pidHex}`,
-		port: device.logicalPort ?? "<unmapped>"
-	});
-});
-```
-
-### `onDeviceRemove(callback)`
-
-Register callback for device disconnection events. Device info format same as `onDeviceAdd`.
-
-**Example:**
-```javascript
-import { logDataObject } from "@mcesystems/tool-debug-g4";
-
-usbListener.onDeviceRemove((device) => {
-	logDataObject("Device disconnected", {
-		port: device.logicalPort ?? "<unmapped>"
-	});
-});
-```
-
-### `listDevices()`
-
-Get list of all currently connected USB devices.
-
-**Returns:** Array of device objects (same format as callback parameter)
-
-**Example:**
-```javascript
-import { logDataObject } from "@mcesystems/tool-debug-g4";
-
-const devices = usbListener.listDevices();
-devices.forEach((device) => {
-	logDataObject("Device", {
-		locationInfo: device.locationInfo,
-		vid: device.vid.toString(16).toUpperCase().padStart(4, "0"),
-		pid: device.pid.toString(16).toUpperCase().padStart(4, "0")
-	});
-});
-```
-
-## Platform-Specific Details
-
-### Physical Port Location
-
-Each platform assigns unique location strings to USB ports:
-
-#### Windows
-- **Format**: `Port_#XXXX.Hub_#YYYY`
-- **Example**: `Port_#0005.Hub_#0002`
-- **Source**: Windows Device Management API
-
-#### macOS
-- **Format**: `Port_#XXXXXXXX` (hexadecimal location ID)
-- **Example**: `Port_#14200000`
-- **Source**: IOKit locationID property (encodes bus/port path)
-
-### Getting Location Strings
-
-Use the included `list-devices.js` utility:
-
-```bash
-node list-devices.js
-```
-
-**Windows output:**
-```
-Device 1:
-  Device ID: USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860\R58NC2971AJ
-  VID: 0x04E8
-  PID: 0x6860
-  Location Info (mapping key): Port_#0005.Hub_#0002
-
-Device 2:
-  Device ID: USB\VID_27C6&PID_6594\UID0014C59F
-  VID: 0x27C6
-  PID: 0x6594
-  Location Info (mapping key): Port_#0007.Hub_#0002
-```
-
-**macOS output:**
-```
-Device 1:
-  Device ID: USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860\Port_#14200000
-  VID: 0x04E8
-  PID: 0x6860
-  Location Info (mapping key): Port_#14200000
-
-Device 2:
-  Device ID: USB\VID_05AC&PID_8262\Port_#14100000
-  VID: 0x05AC
-  PID: 0x8262
-  Location Info (mapping key): Port_#14100000
-```
-
-Copy the "Location Info" values to use in your `logicalPortMap`.
-
-### Device Filtering
-
-**By VID/PID:**
-```javascript
-targetDevices: [
-	{ vid: "2341", pid: "0043" },  // Arduino Uno
-	{ vid: "0483", pid: "5740" }   // STM32
-]
-```
-
-**By Hub:**
-```javascript
-listenOnlyHubs: ["Hub_#0002"]  // Only monitor this hub (Windows)
-// or
-ignoredHubs: ["Hub_#0001"]     // Ignore this hub
-```
-
-## Performance & Scalability
-
-### Handling Many Devices
-
-The listener is designed to handle multiple simultaneous device events efficiently:
-
-✅ **Thread-safe**: Device cache protected by mutex  
-✅ **Non-blocking**: Runs in separate thread, doesn't block Node.js  
-✅ **Efficient**: Only processes filtered devices  
-✅ **Memory-safe**: Automatic cleanup on disconnect  
-
-### Tested Scenarios
-
-- Multiple rapid connect/disconnect cycles
-- Simultaneous connection of 10+ devices
-- Hub with many devices
-- Long-running processes (hours/days)
-
-### Best Practices
-
-1. **Use device filtering** when possible to reduce CPU usage:
-   ```javascript
-   targetDevices: [{ vid: "04E8", pid: "6860" }]  // Better than monitoring all
-   ```
-
-2. **Keep callbacks fast** - offload heavy processing:
-   ```javascript
-   onDeviceAdd((device) => {
-   	// Good: Quick database write
-   	db.logConnection(device);
-   	
-   	// Bad: Long synchronous operation
-   	// processLargeFile(device);  // Use setTimeout or worker thread instead
-   });
-   ```
-
-3. **Handle errors gracefully**:
-   ```javascript
-   onDeviceAdd((device) => {
-   	try {
-   		processDevice(device);
-   	} catch (error) {
-   		console.error('Device processing failed:', error);
-   	}
-   });
-   ```
-
-4. **Clean shutdown**:
-   ```javascript
-   process.on('SIGINT', () => {
-   	usbListener.stopListening();
-   	// Wait briefly for cleanup
-   	setTimeout(() => process.exit(0), 100);
-   });
-   ```

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Windows
-
-**Build errors:**
-- Ensure Visual Studio C++ build tools are installed
-- Run from "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt"
-
-### macOS
-
-**Build errors:**
-- Install Xcode Command Line Tools: `xcode-select --install`
-- Ensure you have the latest Xcode version
-
-**Permission issues:**
-- USB access doesn't require special permissions on macOS
-- If using App Sandbox, ensure proper entitlements
-
-### General
-
-**No events firing:**
-- Check `targetDevices` filter isn't too restrictive
-- Verify callbacks are registered before calling `startListening()`
-- Use `listDevices()` to confirm devices are visible
-
-**Incorrect location info:**
-- Location strings are generated by the OS
-- Different USB controllers may use different formats
-- Always use `listDevices()` to get actual location strings

+
+**Example:**
+```javascript
+import { logDataObject } from "@mcesystems/tool-debug-g4";
+
+const devices = usbListener.listDevices();
+devices.forEach((device) => {
+	logDataObject("Device", {
+		locationInfo: device.locationInfo,
+		vid: device.vid.toString(16).toUpperCase().padStart(4, "0"),
+		pid: device.pid.toString(16).toUpperCase().padStart(4, "0")
+	});
+});
+```
+
+## Platform-Specific Details
+
+### Physical Port Location
+
+Each platform assigns unique location strings to USB ports:
+
+#### Windows
+- **Format**: `Port_#XXXX.Hub_#YYYY`
+- **Example**: `Port_#0005.Hub_#0002`
+- **Source**: Windows Device Management API
+
+#### macOS
+- **Format**: `Port_#XXXXXXXX` (hexadecimal location ID)
+- **Example**: `Port_#14200000`
+- **Source**: IOKit locationID property (encodes bus/port path)
+
+### Getting Location Strings
+
+Use the included `list-devices.js` utility:
+
+```bash
+node list-devices.js
+```
+
+**Windows output:**
+```
+Device 1:
+  Device ID: USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860\R58NC2971AJ
+  VID: 0x04E8
+  PID: 0x6860
+  Location Info (mapping key): Port_#0005.Hub_#0002
+
+Device 2:
+  Device ID: USB\VID_27C6&PID_6594\UID0014C59F
+  VID: 0x27C6
+  PID: 0x6594
+  Location Info (mapping key): Port_#0007.Hub_#0002
+```
+
+**macOS output:**
+```
+Device 1:
+  Device ID: USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860\Port_#14200000
+  VID: 0x04E8
+  PID: 0x6860
+  Location Info (mapping key): Port_#14200000
+
+Device 2:
+  Device ID: USB\VID_05AC&PID_8262\Port_#14100000
+  VID: 0x05AC
+  PID: 0x8262
+  Location Info (mapping key): Port_#14100000
+```
+
+Copy the "Location Info" values to use in your `logicalPortMap`.
+
+### Device Filtering
+
+**By VID/PID:**
+```javascript
+targetDevices: [
+	{ vid: "2341", pid: "0043" },  // Arduino Uno
+	{ vid: "0483", pid: "5740" }   // STM32
+]
+```
+
+**By Hub:**
+```javascript
+listenOnlyHubs: ["Hub_#0002"]  // Only monitor this hub (Windows)
+// or
+ignoredHubs: ["Hub_#0001"]     // Ignore this hub
+```
+
+## Performance & Scalability
+
+### Handling Many Devices
+
+The listener is designed to handle multiple simultaneous device events efficiently:
+
+✅ **Thread-safe**: Device cache protected by mutex  
+✅ **Non-blocking**: Runs in separate thread, doesn't block Node.js  
+✅ **Efficient**: Only processes filtered devices  
+✅ **Memory-safe**: Automatic cleanup on disconnect  
+
+### Tested Scenarios
+
+- Multiple rapid connect/disconnect cycles
+- Simultaneous connection of 10+ devices
+- Hub with many devices
+- Long-running processes (hours/days)
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Use device filtering** when possible to reduce CPU usage:
+   ```javascript
+   targetDevices: [{ vid: "04E8", pid: "6860" }]  // Better than monitoring all
+   ```
+
+2. **Keep callbacks fast** - offload heavy processing:
+   ```javascript
+   onDeviceAdd((device) => {
+   	// Good: Quick database write
+   	db.logConnection(device);
+   	
+   	// Bad: Long synchronous operation
+   	// processLargeFile(device);  // Use setTimeout or worker thread instead
+   });
+   ```
+
+3. **Handle errors gracefully**:
+   ```javascript
+   onDeviceAdd((device) => {
+   	try {
+   		processDevice(device);
+   	} catch (error) {
+   		console.error('Device processing failed:', error);
+   	}
+   });
+   ```
+
+4. **Clean shutdown**:
+   ```javascript
+   process.on('SIGINT', () => {
+   	usbListener.stopListening();
+   	// Wait briefly for cleanup
+   	setTimeout(() => process.exit(0), 100);
+   });
+   ```

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Windows
+
+**Build errors:**
+- Ensure Visual Studio C++ build tools are installed
+- Run from "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt"
+
+### macOS
+
+**Build errors:**
+- Install Xcode Command Line Tools: `xcode-select --install`
+- Ensure you have the latest Xcode version
+
+**Permission issues:**
+- USB access doesn't require special permissions on macOS
+- If using App Sandbox, ensure proper entitlements
+
+### General
+
+**No events firing:**
+- Check `targetDevices` filter isn't too restrictive
+- Verify callbacks are registered before calling `startListening()`
+- Use `listDevices()` to confirm devices are visible
+
+**Incorrect location info:**
+- Location strings are generated by the OS
+- Different USB controllers may use different formats
+- Always use `listDevices()` to get actual location strings
