Package Exports

cylon-firmata

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (cylon-firmata) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Cylon.js For Firmata

Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics and physical computing using Node.js

This module provides an adaptor for microcontrollers such as Arduino that support the Firmata protocol (http://www.gosphero.com/). It uses the Firmata node module (https://github.com/jgautier/firmata) created by @jgautier thank you!

Examples

JavaScript:

var Cylon = require('cylon');

// Initialize the robot
Cylon.robot({
  connection: { name: 'arduino', adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' },
  devices: [{name: 'led', driver: 'led', pin: 13},
            {name: 'button', driver: 'button', pin: 2}],

  work: function(my) {
    my.button.on('push', function() {my.led.toggle()});
  }
}).start();

CoffeeScript:

Cylon = require('cylon')

# Initialize the robot
Cylon.robot
  connection:
    name: 'arduino', adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0'

  devices:
    [
      {name: 'led', driver: 'led', pin: 13},
      {name: 'button', driver: 'button', pin: 2}
    ]

  work: (my) ->
    my.button.on 'push', -> my.led.toggle()

.start()
