Serial port not working?

I recently dabbled into this. The Arduino automatically resets when it receives serial communication from most things other than the Arduino IDE. This is why you can send from the IDE but not node.js.

I have an Uno and put a capacitor between Reset and Ground.Here’s a page with some good info on the subject.
Good luck. http://arduino.cc/playground/Main/DisablingAutoResetOnSerialConnection
