It provides a simple, yet powerful way to create solutions that incorporate multiple, different hardware devices at the same time. Classic Gobot Here is a "Classic Gobot" program that blinks an LED using an Arduino: package main import ( "time" "gobot.io/x/gobot" "gobot.io/x/gobot/drivers/gpio" "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/firmata" ) func main() { firmataAdaptor := firmata.NewAdaptor("/dev/ttyACM0") led := gpio.NewLedDriver(firmataAdaptor, "13") work := func() { gobot.Every(1*time.Second, func() { led.Toggle() }) } robot := gobot.NewRobot("bot", []gobot.Connection{firmataAdaptor}, []gobot.Device{led}, work, ) robot.Start() } Metal Gobot You can also use Metal Gobot and pick and choose from the various Gobot packages to control hardware with nothing but pure idiomatic Golang code. For example: package main import ( "gobot.io/x/gobot/drivers/gpio" "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/intel-iot/edison" "time" ) func main() { e := edison.NewAdaptor() e.Connect() led := gpio.NewLedDriver(e, "13") led.Start() for { led.Toggle() time.Sleep(1000 * time.Millisecond) } } Master Gobot Finally, you can use Master Gobot to add the complete Gobot API or control swarms of Robots: package main import ( "fmt" "time" "gobot.io/x/gobot" "gobot.io/x/gobot/api" "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/sphero" ) func NewSwarmBot(port string) *gobot.Robot { spheroAdaptor := sphero.NewAdaptor(port) spheroDriver := sphero.NewSpheroDriver(spheroAdaptor) spheroDriver.SetName("Sphero" + port) work := func() { spheroDriver.Stop() spheroDriver.On(sphero.Collision, func(data interface{}) { fmt.Println("Collision Detected!") }) gobot.Every(1*time.Second, func() { spheroDriver.Roll(100, uint16(gobot.Rand(360))) }) gobot.Every(3*time.Second, func() { spheroDriver.SetRGB(uint8(gobot.Rand(255)), uint8(gobot.Rand(255)), uint8(gobot.Rand(255)), ) }) } robot := gobot.NewRobot("sphero", []gobot.Connection{spheroAdaptor}, []gobot.Device{spheroDriver}, work, ) return robot } func main() { master := gobot.NewMaster() api.NewAPI(master).Start() spheros := []string{ "/dev/rfcomm0", "/dev/rfcomm1", "/dev/rfcomm2", "/dev/rfcomm3", } for _, port := range spheros { master.AddRobot(NewSwarmBot(port)) } master.Start() } Copyright (c) 2013-2016 The Hybrid Group.
